Anniversaries, birthdays, graduations... We all have certain large obstacles in our lives that we manage to overcome as well as those times we've just simply made it through life a certain amount of time, often with someone at our side. Is there someone you want to congratulate? Is there something you want to announce to the world you managed to do or that it's your birthday? Feel free to pop in here and do so.

We're movin' on uu-uup~!

So maybe this is an odd topic to post here in Congrats, but I'm super happy about it anyway, so I DUN CARE. :|

But I have some news that's super-exciting for me!

So as many people here know, I consider myself a writer, and for a long time, I've been trying to get a job as such. I worked a cruddy retail position for about a year and a half before deciding that I wasn't going to take it anymore, and I've been sort of doing random freelance things since then. I've been keeping busy, but I hadn't really found a solid job that uses my writing skills.

Until this week!

Yep, it's true: Freezy is now a BOOK EDITOR. As in she EDITS BOOKS. That people READ. This is insanely exciting! Even if I'm not being published myself, I've always wanted a job working with books, and now I have one! Plus, it looks great on query letters. :) But yeah. I'm an editor/proofreader who reads books for mistakes and helps authors sound better-er! And my boss is a super-nice person and I get to work with cool people and I can make my own schedule and it is SO EXCITING. AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT.

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

Congrats Freezy! I'm glad to hear you got a job you love, and I bet in not long you'll make a name for yourself too. I'm excited for you.


Bottles smashed, I raised my hand
How can you all even stand?
And why is there joy in this poison? Oh
Faking smiles and confidence
Driving miles to capture this excitement
I can't take anymore

You're never gonna get it
I'm a hazard to myself
I'll break it to you easy
This is hell, this is hell
You're looking and whispering
You think I'm someone else
This is hell, yes
I am in hell

That's awesome! :D Can't say that I've ever actually met an editor myself, so they've always seemed like far-off, distant deities who reign over all the books I love. I'm so glad that you found a job that you'll love though! My philosophy is that people should do what they love, especially considering how much time you have to spend doing your job over the course of your life. ^^ But you should definitely let us know what books you're working on and whatnot so we can oggle at them when they come out on the shelves! :3

Ahhh I'm so happy for you Freezie! <333 I know this will be a job you love!



But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair



"Tomorrow will be a good day."

Heehee! I actually can't talk about the books I'm working on while I'm working on them. Non-disclosure agreements and all. But once they get published, maybe I'll bug you all to buy them. XD
