The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I received notification today that my application has moved onto the next stage. Now I respond to their responses to the pieces of work I submitted. This is the first time I'll ever have done that and I'm a bit nervous about it. With no experience to draw from how can I be sure I'm in the proper format. Ah there goes that logical bent again but in this I don't think I can depend on it so much.



So I've taken what she sent me and broken it into sections and to each of those I've attempted to respond. It's been a bit hard when I have to agree with many of those criticisms myself. But I don't want to give them the mistaken impression that I'm a pushover that won't stand up for her work that's not true but I'm not so obstinate as to argue against the truth. Not quite sure how to handle that one, will have to sleep on it, I think.



I've completed my response after working on it for 5 hours now though I will sleep on it and then look over it tomorrow and see if the answer to my question above has come to me. Or if anything else I need to say jumps forward. Otherwise I should probably submit it. I'm a little worried that they will think I've rushed it but with all I have facing me I dare not wait too long. Time is more precious than people realize.

Good things come to she who waits!



Boy do I hope that's true :)

If you can't act good at least be a class act!

I listened to this many times always liking it but never fully making the connection now I finally have my own meaning to it. I realized that the real mystery is that men and women are always going to have some things that are just mysterious to the other sex. We just are made that way. No matter how much we try to understand each other and sympathize there are just somethings that we can't fully grasp. I don't think we're supposed to. What would be the fun of being different otherwise.

I learned from the Lady today that the process has begun. I understand it will be a long one and maybe especially so with members out on vacations. Ah Well I needed to practice my patience, I guess. I have to admit a part of my mind keeps picturing images of tigers ripping my pages to tiny pieces as everyone sits around and laughs at my puny attempt to write. Me, insecure? Never. Now use worrying about it, they'll either like it or hate it and tell me to get lost. Either way I tried and I know that sometimes I can do a pretty fair job so that's what matters. Real self-confidence jumping up there, girl. lol

Well I have taken my first step. I sent the notice of my intentions I can only wait now and see if anything I have done meets any kind of acceptance. I have my doubts since without professional training I have and continue to find my work a bit childish at times. Other times I find myself using words that are too complex for the images I wish to portray and have to work to simplify. It's often difficult for me to strike a medium and there is where I hope to learn even more from them. Well it's out of my hands now and I can accept their decision knowing I have it my best shot.

I'm thinking of what I want to do in the future here on VR. I've been examining the Houses and Covens and there is one that really interests me but getting into it looks like it will be a real challenge. But that's okay, anything worth doing is worth doing well as they say. I've almost got everything ready to apply, I just need to fine tune some things which I should be able to finish in a day or two if I can get some quiet time. Summer is always so loud and busy. Some good advice I was given was to stop using the update button and go by the pages viewed and time spent to average out my level against the Status system listings. So I know I'm over a level 5, if I clicked it. I just don't want to accidentally be taken by somewhere else. At least until I've made an attempt to get where I think I can learn things to help me grow.



If that dream fails then I will look around and pick another or just stay free of all associations and go my own way. Somehow I doubt that works for long as anyone who stays active or has a decent rating seems to end up in a society pretty quick I think. Oh well, I can only try. *crossing my fingers* Now back to editing.

I so admire this woman, she came back from an abusive relationship at a time in her life when most women are being counted out in the public eye. She teased her hair, put on denim when almost no one was wearing it and strutted out.
