Hi Everyone!!
I’m so glad to be part of this support group because lately its been difficult to focus on learning and writing by myself. I feel reality has set in, I’ve had some fun and now want to focus more on writing.
A little background on me…I attended CAL State Northridge as a Journalism Major while working as an intern correspondent at a small newspaper in Burbank called the Burbank Breeze. Unfortunately both were short lived because my husband at the time and I divorced. Being a single Mom I had to find a job! I worked at Lockheed Aircraft in Burbank and after they closed that facility and moved to Georgia I found myself looking for another job. Luckily, soon after I joined an IT staffing company as an Account Manager and met the love of my life and married him in 2001. At almost the same time, his company was bought out by another company in the Pacific Northwest and we made the decision to relocate from California so he could keep his job. I quit my job at the IT staffing company, he sold his house, we got married, honeymooned, packed up and we’ve been here ever since. Whirlwind, right! I got a job as an Analyst with AT&T in Redmond after a couple of months of setting up house and, to make a longer story shorter, retired from there in 2013. Definitely needing some R and R, I ‘played’ for the next 1.5 years which was great fun. Some of my retired friends don’t understand this, but I soon realized ‘playing’ wasn’t enough (and needing some extra cash), so I researched writing schools and courses online and found AWAI.
One of my goals is to reconstruct a website I started earlier this year. Another is to complete the Accelerated Program, and last but not least get a book published that my Dad wrote before he died.
As an aside, I haven’t known many ‘Eve’s’ through the years and now there are two of us in this group! Yay!
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!

Looks like I'll save that for the IT GUYS. Now, I am working on the Accelerated Program, The Travel Writers Program, and my Certified Wedding Planning. Sounds like a lot but I love the challenge, and like to learn.
