International Women's Month Collection: Cheyanne B.

Cheyanne and I met as tutor and mentor, and now we're close friends with the absolute best nicknames for one another. Cheyanne is loving, caring, creative, and the best multitasker I have ever met. 😊


Kaylyn Gabbert: When we first met, I was helping you with a creative writing course. Do you still use those tips when writing?

Cheyanne B.: Some of it I still use and some of it I forgot. And that's true for everybody. 

KG: How many open projects are you writing these days?

CB: I had seventy. I had ten a day until [Wattpad] said this user doesn't have an account, this user doesn't exist. It sucks because I didn't have any of them saved. I knew some people were stealing my stories but it still sucks. I emailed them, but I'll work on twenty-four new story ideas until I hear back from them. 

KG: Were you able to get your Wattpad account back

CB: No, they said that there was no issue with my account. I tried to reset password and it told me user didn't exist. Trying to make a new account with that email also didn't work as it said it was being used

KG: I am so sorry to hear that. What happened with your twenty-four new ideas you were going to work on, in the meantime?

CB: Well, it flopped cuz life has just ruined my love at the moment. But I did find some backups of my saved stories so I'm looking those over

KG: Did all of this ruin your trust with Wattpad?

CB: Not fully, but it's made me more frustrated with things

KG: Understandable. Well if you ever want to start our story to feel better and get motivation up, I'm game! 💪

CB: I've had some ideas for the one about us but I've hit like a roadblock for writing and have no gumption to write lately

KG: Send me the ideas at least. Please 🥺

CB: I'll have to find the word document with all of them. I'm hoping to start on something with us in a fanfictin once I get past this bump

KG: Okay but when you find the doc please email it to me 🥰

CB: I will 🥰

KG: What is your day job? 

CB: I'm basically just a dispatcher for a vehicle company. I work from 6am-6pm.  

KG: Is there more you can add?

CB: It's a transportation company. We deal with crewmen either going home or going on board vessels. We also provide escorts into terminals for truck drivers. There are also cases that we deal with freight going onto or off vessels. Lastly we can provide ride for crewmen wanting to go shopping, to dentist/Dr appointments, etc

KG: Thank you. Is there anything you really love about the job?

CB: Working from home

KG: Anything that's super frustrating?

CB: Agents taking out their anger on me for zero reason

KG: I'm sorry. That's super annoying 🙄

CB: Oh yeah, my boss wasn't happy with them when I informed him about it

KG: Was anything done to rectify the situation

CB: Yes, he spoke to the agents boss and it didn't happen again

KG: That's good. I'm glad. 😊

KG: You look like you have such a fun time when you're visiting your nieces. How do you like being an aunt?

CB: I enjoy it because I'll probably never be a parent. It's always easier when I can hand them back when I'm done with them.

Treasured Memories

WARNING: THIS WILL BE MY LONGEST BLOG ENTRY. Worked on this through August 6 through September 4. Started this post August 10th. Life, as we know it, is a complicated storybook for humanity as a whole. Some lives end before they can begin while others experience a lengthy lifetime of bizarre moments that form character development and plot twists. Some stories tell of sacrifice of a parent or child while some stories tell of a victorious march that turned the tides for a nation. Your life is your story and it's scary knowing how much control over it you actually have. Are you the courageous protagonist  or the disillusioned antagonist? Are you a doctor living wealthy or are you scraping change and living paycheck to paycheck? How much of your story have you shared with others, and how much have you kept away? Life doesn't end after the book is finished. Each of us impact someone else in an amazing or terrible way. But it's up to you how your story coincides with someon...

Treasured Memories Part II

Image
A few days ago, July 3rd, I was reading the latest issue of Reader's Digest. The first article that caught my attention was 'Why I've Decided Not to Write a Memoir'. It was about a woman who being given a very detailed and loving letter from her grandmother about why her grandmother couldn't write a memoir even though she had so many stories collected. This article made me reread the first  Treasured Memories I wrote almost a year ago. A lot has changed since that draft for some, and I want to add more people as well. Some bonds have grown stronger, and others have made their mark in my lately. Books named in the memories will be linked in the bottom. I will be using Goodreads links because Goodreads is also important to a few memories.

The Perfect Book for a Traveler of the Mind or Vacationer

  I recently finished reading ‘Where to Go When’ by DK Eyewitness, and the immediate things that make the book fabulous are it breaks up locations by what month is the best time to visit them, they tell when else to go, and all about planning your trip. Each ‘chapter’ is month by month. The other months each location may mention may mention off-seasons, concerts, holidays, ect. In the planning your trip section they mention getting there, getting around, the weather in that month, and the average weather in Fahrenheit and Celsius. For any and all travelers that is extremely important, the Fahrenheit and Celsius because you don’t want to have to take your phone out to translate that on your own all the time.  While reading the book a few places stood out to me as research places for my work like Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Kyoto and Tokyo, Japan, and Galway, Ireland. Rio de Janeiro was in February, Kyoto was in April, Galway was in September, and Tokyo was in November. As I was alw...
