For class assignment

Hello all,
My name is Zuri Davenport. I've been in the MLIS program at UNCG for a year and a half. I'm originally from Greenville, SC and have lived in Winston Salem since graduating in 2009. Currently I work as the Adult Services Librarian at Rural Hall Public Library in Forsyth County. I'm pretty new there (just started this summer) and so far I'm really am enjoying it.
As far as my knowledge of Web 2.0 it is pretty basic knowledge. I figure I have as much knowledge of Web 2.0 as anybody that uses the web and social networks on a daily bases. I'm excited about the increase in knowledge from this course. Hope it continues to be a great semester.

I did a thing that I was pretty happy about

    I got published! And the main reason that I didn't write about it here earlier was that a) I didn't think it was that big of a deal. The contest winners won money and finalist were published in the anthology along with the winning entries. I won no money but was a finalist. One story in an anthology with a bunch of other ones. Not really a headliner. And b)  the story was under contract for 3 months while it was sold on the website, so I couldn't post it during that time either. I don't think many copies sold and after the 3 month run, it is now unavailable, with my Momma holding the only physical copy.      What I did learn from this experience is that I wanted to do this more often. Connections with other people, especially with people that don't know you from anyone else off the street, found connection with something I wrote.      But of course I could be making all this up. The book is now out of print, even taken down from the websi...

Mother's Day Musings

 Don't normally share what I journal about here, but today's journalling was appropriate to add here today:     I'm very thankful to have my Mom around and living and in her right mind this Mother's Day. After this past year, with so much loss, I'm ecstatic about being able to call her.     I remember one time when Arielle and I were younger as kids and because we got good grades on our report cards, we were going to Myrtle Beach. Right now. No warning, we loaded up the car and was pulling out the driveway before noon. I don't even think we had reservations. But we found a hotel that was right across the street from the Boardwalk and the Atlantic Ocean. A hotel room in this location now would be high AF...well may with the hospitality industry trying to bounce back through the pandemic, maybe the prices are comparable to what they were then.      Thinking back on it, I think my Mom needed a moment of escape and needed a reason to do so. I'm not ma...

Blog Post for Library and reflection

This space is a chronological life order of thoughts and feelings from my perspective. But my perspective gives me a unique lens to see and process experiences and thoughts about things outside myself.  I wrote a blog post for the library I work for (link below). And while this isn't the exact goal I set out to accomplish, I did accomplish some personal goals that happen to be work related (which is really satisfying, shockingly enough. Work is work and personal is separate of that is what I have experienced and what others have advised me to experience work). But my personal goals for the last two months have been to: 1) Try breaking down a story idea into interchangeable notecards 2) Find another writing opportunity 3) Question: What can I write at length about.  And honestly, I've really accomplished may 2.5 items on this list in the last two months. But let me focus on the second one for right now.  After submitting a piece for The Root competition, I decided to searc...
