Unless you spent time in the military you probably don’t know your acronyms as well as you could. The good news is–Acronym Finder can help you. If you don’t know a BYOB from an ACT, get some assistance. Just type in the acronym and get all the translations you can handle. I dare ya.

If you asked me in 2002 what my “writing life” would look like today there is no way that I could have told you. Simply put, I had no idea what was ahead of me on this road. The twists and turns along the way have proven impossible to have seen ahead of time.
I never thought my travel writing would be published in a book. I never dreamed that I would be an editor on an award-winning blog, or that having an article in a magazine at Borders would become something I would get used to. There is much to be thankful for. That said–there is more ahead, and I don’t know where this road is going…but that is half the fun.
I have exceeded my wildest dreams already in this writing career of mine, and hopefully I will continue to do so. I’d love to hear your story…how does your journey differ from what you thought it would be like? Are you happy with where you are right now, or looking ahead to that next turn in the road? Do tell…
