...long time no see?

WOW, it's been awhile.  Didn't realize how long it's been.

In my defense, life's been really busy.  I finished the paralegal program, and about six months later (eight months ago) switched jobs.   My last place was a litigation firm, and this one is transactional - real estate.  I'm finding I like the transactional work much better than litigation.  It's a much larger firm, even though it's still in the 'small' category - I've gone from working in an office that had at most four people in it (and, most of the time, just three) to an office with fourteen people, and I'm in a an admin/paralegal team (instead of being, by myself, the administrator, paralegal, receptionist, and just about everything else.  I definitely prefer the team environment.)

The job's downtown, and I ended up moving from Pasadena to Culver City and am now the caretaker of my grandmother's house.  I'm not really a fan of the area - too crowded - but it'll work for now.

In my last blog I mentioned NaNoWriMo, and I've got an exciting update on my writing front - I'm publishing!

It's not the novel I mentioned writing at the time; it's a collection of short and flash fiction.  Eight stories (one being the completed version of the very first story I started thirteen years ago that got me into the idea of writing), 13,000+ words.  I'm going to be self-publishing on Amazon.  I've only got a bit more work to do to finish the formatting, so I'll be posting an update soon (promise!) about the status of that.
