I finally submitted some stuff! Happy, Mom? Happy, Sis?

It's only a handful of stuff, two sumi-e pieces and a couple cake projects. I'll submit some more practice cakes to my scraps... as soon as I figure out how to do that. I also want to submit some of my fiction pieces from this semester, again soon as I figure out how. I hope to submit more sumi-e, too, but it's hard not having a scanner handy.

I'm also getting information about getting culinary arts training through the local adult education system so I can be better prepared to go whole hog on making cakes for a living, and also to get some useful connections and side skills under my belt, maybe eventually expanding into other baked goods and deserts, or even getting a full culinary job to ride out the recession in.. It's a short program, only about seven months tops, but is apparently very successful, and lately I've been finding myself enjoying cooking quite a bit. I dunno if it's because of the increased sunshine or if I'm finally finding some peace with myself, but I might as well run with it as long as I can.

Spring semester ends this week, so I'll have a lot more time on my hands. I'd better make sure I use it constructively. Hopefully this weekend I'll post more stuff, and I'll try to ease into writing here more often. See ya!

P.S. Anyone know if DA accepts nonfiction writing? You know, articles, opinions, research papers, that sorta thing? I have one or two that may be worth submitting...
