More Optimistic

Ok, so I now have reason to be happy about my writing, although I am not going to say why.
But I can say that I am doing a lot of work on it. I have gone back to my novel and have started a cookbook.

The cookbook shows a lot of promise for being something I love, but no one would ever want it besides me and maybe members of my family. But other than that, I am happy with it. And it's a lot of fun!

I also am bursting with ideas for stories and cookbooks that will sell. So life is good when you are a writer. The only problem I have now is that I am not sleeping at the right times. I worry about that a bit. I don't want to not be able to do my job.

Mostly I am trying something new with this blog. I am probably mumbling to myself mostly, but at least I am pretending that I am accountable as a writer. I am setting goals for this writing gig, too.

I am going to have my novel's rough draft finished by September. It's a lot to do and it feels like a lot of time. But I know how fast a summer can fly by.

I am also going to have applied for some freelance work at least by July 15th. I think it is reasonable time after I get back from my wedding to set up an account and apply to several freelance websites.

I suppose I should be more formal with this blog. But I am just not that kind of person. I am down-to-earth and a realist. I am motivated and can do the work. So I feel that I should be excused for a little bit of trifling here. (But I think I might set up a professional "business" blog instead and possibly not have it associated with this one. Besides - this is my FICTION blog, not my job blog.)

I've also learned some valuable stuff about myself and my past, and I think I am ready to move on now. I know that a job brings n money, but a career is your passion. You're life's work. Work and job are not the same. So I am going to try to get a few jobs, like writing articles and taking freelance work, to see if I can make more money. Because working retail sucks. And I'm trained to do more.

Anyway, that's all I have to say about this tonight. It's very late, and I am finally getting tired. This is what happens when you drink cola too late in the evening people. 4am blogging. It's just not right. . .
