Book Review: Gray by Pete Wentz
Pete Wentz; what does that name mean to you? To me, it means one of the guys I’ve looked up to since I was around….11 years old. To others, he might just be that guy from Fall Out Boy, or the lyricist and bassist of Fall Out Boy, or just the guy who married that Simpson sister. Whatever your opinion is and whichever way you may look at him, don’t just shut the door on him yet because he just brought something great to the world.

Author fan-girling
So, usually on this blog, I just post fandom things…I don’t really talk about my “real life,” but I wanted to share this tidbit.
I’m in my final semester of a MFA Creative Writing Program. I had my first (second) class of the semester tonight with a professor new to the school. I’d looked her up before and thought her book looked interesting. She presented at a reading the school hosted tonight as well, and I was impressed with her many impressive credentials. I was impressed by her in class as well - so good first impression. And she offered some great advice right off the bat.
I feel really lucky to be studying under her this semester, because not only is she a legit Simon and Schuster author, but she is also a writer for The Huffington Post. I’m so excited for this workshop!
