Grant Writing & Winning
Now that I am writing grants eight hours a day for five days a week, my freelance writing time has dropped, as I do not wish to spend every waking hour in front of a computer. I have not abandoned it completely, though, as I love extra spending money and new shoes.
I have written three winning grants since starting this job in July, with many more sitting on board and foundation's tables as I type.
Three won:
BBVA Compass: $10,000
3M: $8,000
City of Austin: $32,000
Amazon has a first novel competition I'd like to enter. Now if I can only juggle grant writing, freelance writing, and writing for fun. Guess which one of these I typically abandon once I start to reach my brain's quota of screen time? I need to prioritize myself.

Louisa May Alcott: A Personal Biography, book review
There is a mistake or two in this copy versus the draft that I sent in, which makes a sentence really confusing. My original draft was not confusing, and regardless, I feel like this should have been brought to my attention for fixing prior to publication.
Read the full review here.
The Avett Brothers: Live, Volume 3 Review
Read the full review here.
Full disclosure: I LOVE the Avett Brothers. They probably shouldn't have given me this assignment. Bias abounds.... but with good reason!

Record Store Day: my first photo + writing assignment
I realized I forgot to post this from last spring. One of my first writing/photo assignments for Venus was to cover Record Store Day in Austin. Here it is.

Austin City Limits 2010 Photographs
I put on my photographer hat for the Austin City Limits music festival this year. Literally, I put on a hat because my nose got sunburned by the end of day 1. I didn't make the same mistake for days 2 & 3.
All article photos are mine.
See my photos, all 69 of them, at the article here.
Also, my Kim Gordon/Sonic Youth photo was featured in the Venus email newsletter last week.

Pete Yorn: self-titled review
Read the full review here. I threw the word "misanthropic" in there because it needed to be done at some point.
Also, can we talk about how I got to photograph Pete Yorn for Venus at ACL? Love him.
