I'm working on getting my Ebay jewelry store, Luna Sirena, together. I've got two sets of earrings made! I'm really excited about this, even though I'm trying to be realistic about all of this. I simply love beading and can't really keep everything I make, or else it would take over the house. I don't have anything posted for sale yet, but will in the next couple of days.
It's been a really difficult week of my realization that I am REALLY OUT OF SCHOOL. I need to get downstairs to The Office and try to work every day--I'm behind on some paperwork I need to get out, at least. The Italian-American Historical Association is seriously considering my proposal for its conference, which is good--it just involves reading from the book, as usual.
Still, I am glad to be out of school--I loved the good things, but have to remind myself that my MFA program wasn't the whole world, or even a part of it.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
