This past week I have done what I consider to be probably the most exciting thing I've ever done besides agreeing to date Nathan: I submitted my writing to an agent. Now the nerve wracking begins until I hear back from someone. I'm also waiting to hear from the U of M about graduate school.

After reading more about the publishing business and how to get attention from agents and publishers, it is becoming apparent to me that I need to create more websites. Publishers and Agents (P & A) will often look for a potential author's name on facebook, xanga, myspace, and livejournal.

As much as it detests me, it's a necessary evil for me to create a myspace page. And a livejournal page, and another xanga site devoted specifically to me as a writer. My plan is to link all these pages back to one that I've created myself on my Mac. This will happen in February after the Ellie Ryan Benefit webpage is no longer needed.

Speaking of which, feel free to check out web.me.com/reesha/Site_2 to see details of the Benefit coming up on January 21st. It's a dinner, dance and silent auction. More work to come on the website, but it should have some helpful details on there.
