My cousin and I usually meet up for an "IM Date" at least once a week. She lives two states away now, and neither of us has the time (or patience!) to talk on the phone for any length of time, but we both type like blue devils. So the IM thing is perfect for us. Tonight we chatted for about a hour, catching up on each other's week, and talking about our passions.
She's a photographer, I'm a writer, and we both love to read. So we spend a lot of time with her telling me to check my e-mail for the latest of the family pictures that she has restored, with me bouncing plot ideas off of her, and discussing books and authors we enjoy.
Tonight she sent me some pictures of my parents when they were dating, pictures of her and I with our mom's when we were just tots, and pictures of my dad in the corps. I bounced a new idea for a story off her about cyber murder, and we talked about Jean Auel's Earthchildern series, which I'm currently indulging in a fifth or sixth reading of. I told her about a web site I found that posts freelance jobs suitable for both of us, and we talked about if she ever moved back here, we could start a business that combined restoration of pictures, photography, DJing/Karakoe and valet parking for private parties and weddings.
She asked me if I've gotten anything published yet, to which the answer is still a great big ole NOPE, however I do have a promising lead for an articles submission position. I'll wait and see how that pans out.
I'm really to tired to write tonight, so I think I'll work on getting my creative commons license posted so I can start to put up some original works.
