UGH I am terrible at keeping this thing up to date, I only remember when people message me about it. It's kind of a good thing though, in the sense that I have a lot of stuff going on!
I am now a contributing writer for Elite Daily, on top of Thought Catalog. It's a great feeling. I aim to have at least one piece per week published on one or the other. I am trying to build my portfolio so eventually I can find some cool writing gigs and have the experience to back me up.
I went to Phoenix this weekend to visit my sister and dad (my sis is visiting), and I fried like an egg. I am so burnt and in some parts, tan now. I was kinda tan before but the sun out there is no joke. You can walk to your car and catch on fire. On the drive down it was so hot, parts of the ground WERE actually on fire.
It's not a bad drive though. about 5.5 hours, which is the closest I have had family out here in the last 6 years. So that is a nice thing. Maybe I can drive there for Thanksgiving!
Work is going good, they are giving me more responsibilities so I have more to be writing about and publishing on our website. Sometimes I sit back and realize how wild it is that I am a full time writer, and even kewler, a copywriter. (good money woo!). I am going to work on my pilot and feature film scripts more so I can get an agent and begin to submit them..It just takes a lot of work and a lot of time, which right now, I am skimming it on time. By the time I get home from work I'm exhausted.
I am saving up for a few things. 1) a house! I am going to get a part time job on top of my full time job so I can be a home owner by age 28. 2) A drum set. I am going to take on learning the drums in my down time. I used to play piano, but it isn't fast enough for me. It's def time I learn to play a real instrument as well as I play guitar hero.
I have made a great group of friends out here in LA. each and every day that passes it grows on me more. Even if I ever wanted to go back to SF, I most likely couldn't because it is way too expensive now. I don't feel like slaving away to barely make it by on a great salary. The bay has changed regardless..
LA is hottttt and sometimes its a problem, but ever since i've had AC installed its SO MUCH BETTER. it used to be a sauna in my room for fucks sake. Now it's like, a chill cooler? Whatever.
I have some sketch ideas im working on and going to have some friends help me film and execute them. I'll make sure to post them as soon as possible. As always, any work I have published will be shared via Facebook, and immediately added to my portfolio on meghanlogan.pressfolios.com
Stay tuned!!
