feb 4---Fixie

Hey all,
Just wanted to say hi. Man this weather is crazy. It snowed yesterday then in the afternoon it was nice. Today was nice and over the weekend it will be beyonddddddd freezing. Oh well. I have nothing new to say about my book or publishing, though I'd like to dedicate today's blog to my late dog named Fixie. I had her between ages 8 and 18. She was an amazing dog: loyal, loving, smart, the whole package. Unfortunately, she died because she was very sick, but she is always on my mind, especially when her birthday comes up. Today was supposed to be her 14th birthday. R.I.P. Fixie, you are truly missed.

last 1st day

Talk about a hectic day!
I started my spring semester today and let me tell you, it was NUTZ! Imagine walking through an overcrowded market with people pushing into you and screaming in your ears.Yup, that was school today. It calms down later on, but the first day is usually like this. I am so happy that I'm graduating this semester! It was my last 1st day of school. Crazy how time flies by...
Have a good night!
Rachel <3

What friends have in common....

Hey again,
Today was a relatively boring day, I didn't do much at all, except for walk my chihuahua Gucci of course ;)
I went to my friend's house tonight and we started talking about my book, when all of a sudden, she told me that she published 2 books of her own! Let me tell you, this girl is very very talented, so I wasn't THAT surprised, but seeing the books in her house made me realize that I'm not the only writing freak around, hehe.
I really enjoyed our conversation tonight; we spoke about the publishing process and our experience as authors. We spoke about the Penguin recruitment event as well and both of us had very different views about the company and publishing in general.
Seeing her published books makes me even more determined to get mine out there, but it's just so hard. Someone has to literally fall in love with your book, and only then does it have a chance of getting published.
Like I told all of you before, it's all about determination; you gotta know what you want and that it is achievable!

Wishing you all a good night!
Rachel

Hey again

Hey everyone,
Talk about gross weather! I was told it was going to be 50 degrees today and I was so looking forward to having a nice day during winter. But when I woke up this morning, I realized how gross it was outside.It's not cold but just so bleak and dreary; I just wanted to stay in bed all day and sleep.
You know what can be done in this weather? You guessed it... reading!!! At least, that's what I've been doing. I read other books, stories which I thought I would have no interest in and surprisingly I do, just so that I can have broader ideas fo how to improve my own writing, that's what being a good author is all about.

Stay dry,

Rachel <3

Good Evening, all!

Good Evening Everyone!
A couple of days ago, I went to Penguin Publishing House for their recruitment program and let me tell you, I learned a lot! They explained the different depts involved in the publishing process, and gave us the history of their company as well. I was there with another 30-40 students who all have the same dream as me. As the presentation went on, I'm sure all of them thought the same thing as me: "Man, do I wish this prestigious company will hire me!"
After that day. Luckily, for me I had not only my resume, but my cover letter, picture of my book and two recommendation letters (one from Folio where I interned in the summer and another from Professor Carey Harrison, who's dad was Rex Harrison, the main character in the film "My Fair Lady). It ALWAYS pays to be overprepared rather than underprepared. Though I gave my papers to the person whow as in charge of human resources, I still emailed everything again. It seems to me that this kind of thing is a raffle in some way; the more times you apply, the bigger chances you have.
Well, that was that, and we were told we will receive an answer in the next month. I am nervouse, I want to work for them VERY much, but what's menat to be is what's meant to be. I just gotta be hopeful, so wish me luck!! : )

Good morning!

Hey, good morning everyone!
