audonick: If not now, when? For the past several years I had been working at a highly demanding job, both mentally, physically, long commute and longer hours. With each passing day I became less and less enthralled with the job. As per usual, when things get tough I have a tendency to lose my self in my books and writing and over the past several months have found myself doing more writing than I ever have. My wife, bless her soul, had been reading some of the material and when I came home last week with the news that I had been laid off, she at first went ballistic. Can't really blame her there, but what's done is done. Much to my surprise, later that day she came home and told me that she wanted me to look for a job, but it had to be the "right Job" one with benefits such as health insurance and vacation time, not just the benefit of the doubt. Meanwhile, why don't you concentrate on making a go of your writing. See if you can make it payoff. Treat your writing as your job and give it your attention. So now I sit and do what I love, write. There is so much more to writing than writing and I am trying to muddle through, and yes, I feel as I am making progress. I can only hope that I can produce enough to satisfy our family. |
