Where in the world is Cici?

YAY!!

You found me!

Welcome to my NEW blog.

Let me explain the "reasons personal to me."

My previous employer and I had a disagreement about the copyright and ownership of my words. He wanted to own every word I wrote and I thought I should own my words.

Why? Because I love to write and maybe someday, if a publisher comes knocking on my door, I will want to publish a book.

According to the contract I was under, my previous employer could publish his OWN book of MY words- and not have to give me credit or one thin dime. I also would be forbidden from publishing my OWN works in any outlet.

He knows I am a good writer, he knows I could have a future at this, and he was hedging his bets against me leaving.

Word around the campfire is, he even bought up several domains with my name in them.

Armed with the knowledge of these new developments, I politely asked for a release of my works BACK to me. He respectfully declined.

So, I am no longer employed. Which is Ok. I was never much for ass kissing and deadlines anyway.

Over here you will find the Cici you love (Or hate- but if you hate me, why are you reading this?)

Although I am no longer emplyed by the store, I will still shop there. I like it there. I believe in the vision management has set up. There are no hard feelings at all. We just had to agree to disagree.

Since I have no deadline and no paycheck, I will blog when I feel like it. I will also say what's on my mind- without fear of censorship.

Heck, I may even throw in off color words like vagina every now and then!

Bascially, as you know, it's ALL about ME.

And you. It's about you, too!

I love you for following me here!
Love,
Cici
