So what has this graduate been doing with her time?
- Interning with the Writers' League of Texas. It's a pretty cool gig. Unpaid, but I'm still having fun here. And as an intern, I have to work at the annual Agents Conference here in Austin @ the end of June. Translation: I'll get to chat with book agents/editors (when there's some down time) for free! One of my jobs here is to update the WLT blog, Twitter, and Facebook about WLT events or other writing events around town, so for all the writers who might be reading this blog, look out for the same updates right here on Katie May's blog.
- Writing my first article for Demand Studios - a company that hires freelance writers to write short articles for websites like eHow and about.com. Submitted my first article yesterday and currently working on rewrites for the editors, though there aren't many rewrite notes (they said the article was good for my first one and almost publication-ready, minus a few minor edits.)
- Applying for jobs. I was really hoping for a job @ a gym, but it doesn't seem to be happening. I applied to Gold's Gym over a month ago and haven't heard back. I'm thinking it's time to head over there, just to let them know I exist. And yesterday, I became another - of probably hundreds - writer to apply to several Starbucks locations. Yes, I've resorted to being a cliche.
- Interviewed with Greenleaf Book Group for a publishing assistant position last week. Waiting to hear back on that.
- Last, but not least, watching the entire series of Law & Order:SVU through Netflix. I'm at the end of season one so far. It's been amazing.
