Oh also!

I might be the new Art Director for Cabbages and Kings literary magazine :D
I passed by their office yesterday and got called in by a couple people I had just recently met (one through Tony- my writing teacher, and another through my former comic book class). So I went in. I forgot that I said I'd probably pop into the meeting after I got out of my piano class (meeting is at 12, I get out at 12:30), but didn't get the chance. So there I was, in an awkward position of 'small-talk' zone, and I was handed the meeting notes and didn't get the chance to read through past the first line, which read "still need art director, someone who knows InDesign." I shouted, perhaps a little too gleefully, that I know InDesign, I love InDesign, and I have a degree in graphic design :D
They weren't sure if I was just saying that or not, but were totally pleased when I convinced them, and eagerly showed me the outline of the magazine, which I'll be laying out for print!
I'm totally excited that I'll finally get some use out of my degree, even if I won't be paid for it.

Character a Day: Star

Haven't done one of these in a while. From characteraday



Character Name: Hoshi
Genre: YA or Contemporary / Sci-fi
Describe the Character Physically in Your Own Words: Hair you need to touch. Skin you wish you possess, no matter who you are. And she has the softest, most soothing voice you will ever hear. She is truly the greatest creation in the industry.
One Line Description of Character: Hoshi is the only perfect model from ShineCorp.
Tell Us About the Character: Hoshi was born in the ShineCorp factory, already matured 20 years, and unsettlingly intelligent. She enjoyed being the most graceful and coveted android to come off the conveyor belt, and did not care about being human, unlike her other sentient sisters. Hoshi knew the first flaw of being human would destroy everything she was. She watched beautiful humans hurt, wrinkle, and die. And who needed that?
What is their preferred morning drink? A mix of green and jasmine tea were just what she needed to fuel her furnace.
