Alice | Snowflakes in France

https://snowflakesinfrance.wordpress.com/author/alicenicole

Reflections of a 20-something woman in publishing. It’s a fairly typical evening here. But I suppose it’s worth noting simply because I’ve never noted it before. The dog is lying on the bed, staring into the floor-length mirror, ears perked. I think he’s looking at himself. There are nose smudges across the surface from all the times he’s checked himself out before, at closer range. We have cars blasting techno as they wait at the light outside our home, and little kids setting up toy truck show within t...

The School Girl in Me | Snowflakes in France

https://snowflakesinfrance.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/the-school-girl-in-me

Reflections of a 20-something woman in publishing. The School Girl in Me. It’s 75 and sunny, with a nice cool breeze outside. An anomaly for this summer, when the temperature seems to dip below 92 only when it’s raining. My sinuses are reacting as if this is the beginning of fall, and I can’t help but agree. Anthropologie is sending me emails about sweaters, magazines are advertising school supplies and my little sister is beginning her first year at college. 1 September 2011 at 2:11 pm. Fill in your det...

Practicing | Snowflakes in France

https://snowflakesinfrance.wordpress.com/2011/09/29/practicing

Reflections of a 20-something woman in publishing. I read yesterday that for writers to maintain a habit of writing, they should take a similar approach to how musicians practice, i.e., devotedly, everyday, in spare moments. For the last few weeks — months really — I’ve been thinking about writing a novel. I wrote the first chapter and a few character sketches. Then I stopped. I wasn’t sure how to breathe life into it from there. Was my protagonist actually my anta...Of course, thinking about a story is ...

I'm Better In Real Life: Moving, Moved, Gone

http://betterinreallife.blogspot.com/2010/09/moving-moved-gone.html

Monday, September 20, 2010. Moving, Moved, Gone. Everybody grows up, but not everyone matures. Not everyone wants to mature, that's for sure. (and that rhymed. YES! And this blog has reached the point in its life where it, too, needs to grow up and move out of its mother's house. That's right, we're leaving blogger, we're moving on to bigger and better things, where I have to pay for hosting and where all things are possible. (Maybe not all things, but more things. Yay! Http:/ www.lsdupuis.com/. Work in ...

Crossing the Jungle | Snowflakes in France

https://snowflakesinfrance.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/crossing-the-jungle

Reflections of a 20-something woman in publishing. After eating, the french press coffee has steeped and I pour myself a cup. I sit down to an inbox of emails and a stack of bills, letters and junk mail. For the next seven hours, I am an office girl with a head full of books and bookkeeping in a quaint Brooklyn brownstone. Then I revert back to primitive instinct once again as I commute through the jungle, toward the plains of New Jersey. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Send to Email...

Reflections of a 20-something woman in publishing. 8220;No one asked you to change it”. I read a wedding post today where it was noted that “the wedding is kinda like married life, it often comes with unresolved feelings.”. A senior member of my department came by wondering why he couldn’t find me on the office chat. I explained that IT had just fixed it so there might be a lag before it showed up in searches. I concluded with, “Oh, this whole name-change thing is. A process.”. My bridesmaids told me I w...
