in light of breaching the publishing market and the continuing shrinkage of my free time, i believe my dA days are drawing to a close. i had a lovely time, and all of you are wonderful people.  i will leave my account up a few days so i don't seem to simply disappear off the face of the internet- if anyone would like to keep in touch, note me and i can provide alternative contact information.

much love and best wishes,
soph

had some really good moments and some really bad moments.  the collective blah was my unfortunate decision to over commit to everything i was doing, but i met some amazing people during the summer who have since become some of my best friends.  

unfortunately a lot of these commitments carry over into 2014, so i still won't be around here too much.  i intended to submit some new pieces on here over winter break, but i basically spent all of winter break working on long fiction and catching up with people, so i don't really have anything.  

hope all of you have been well.

i haven't had free time lately.
between school, cross country, volunteering, and trying to resuscitate the limited prep corner of our speech and debate program,
life is kind of kicking my ass.

tomorrow, i am going to bake cupcakes and try to get some writing done.

1 (nyc)
i'm presently on the east coast in new jersey just outside of nyc on vacation with my family.  i was too young to appreciate new york last time i was here.  i know cities aren't for a lot of people (certainly not my family, who regard the subway with trepidation and are convinced i will get mugged every weekend if i go to college in nyc), but i really am loving this environment.  suburban living is definitely a bubble.  i'll have more to say once i've been here longer, but i'm really liking the east coast.  especially the rain.  i'm the kind of person who likes to roll down the window when it's pouring and stick my head out into the downpour.  regardless of whether or not that's safe, rain is not something we have very much of in my part of socal.  hopefully i'll be going to the metropolitan tomorrow, and i should be visiting one or two of my ny/nj friends as well!
ALSO.  i'm seeing phantom of the opera on broadway on monday night and i cannot articulate how excited i am!!

2 (iowa city)
i had the opportunity to attend the iowa young writer's studio this summer and it was a lifechanging experience.  i have explained it in so many ways to so many different people, and i still have not managed to properly articulate the impact.  iowa city is an adorable little city/town and a very safe environment and when we didn't have seminar or workshop we had free reign of the city.  it was like a two week college experience.  i met MANY incredible people and the things i've learned and the perspectives that i had the opportunity to be exposed to have honestly changed my view on things so much.  my writing has improved a lot (at least in my opinion) and i can genuinely say that i'm a better human being and more hardworking person for having gone to iyws.  there are so many accomplished, beautiful people in this world and there is no reason i cannot try to be one of them.  

3 (back home)
my junior year is going to be crazy.  i'm taking ap us history, ap language, ap chemistry, honors precalc, spanish 5-6, and speech and debate.  i'm the girl's varsity cross country captain.  i'm captain of the limited preparation squad on our speech and debate team.  i'm not sure how i'm going to find the time to write (my senior friends have been assuring me i won't have any) and i'm honestly a little bit terrified.  i've definitely heard mixed things about junior year-- some people have said that overloading on ap classes just looks snobby and like you're trying to get into colleges, and some people have told me that if you don't take lots of aps colleges don't think you're challenging yourself.  i'm not sure how i feel about all of that (and i don't want to think about college admissions just yet, although i've been visiting east coast colleges), but i do know i'm taking all of my classes and participating in my activities for the right reasons, not because i want a gpa boost.  i suppose i'll just have to cross my fingers and work my ass off.
