Back to Reality II
The first week of work went okay. Since I've decided to keep my private life and my writing life separate I won't say on this blog where it is I work but let's just say it's a place where there's a procedure for everything and it's also heavily regulated by the government so I'm having to learn a lot about such things.
As for my writing I didn't do much this week, as I've been trying to not only get back into the rhythm of working full-time again but having to ingest so much information from the job during the orientation.
May 1st is this coming Tuesday and I have two projects with due dates in May. Both are short stories so I'll be working on those and I have a novella coming up due at the end of July so if I want to get that done I'll need to start working on it ASAP.
So, all in all, as for my new job, it's a job. I'm grateful for it, but the job of my dreams?
Hardly.
The job of my dreams would be to write for a living. But so far writing has yet, if ever, to provide me with that kind of income. So I work and I write.
Ciao!

I've long since determined that the job of my dreams would be working in a used book store. Sure, I'd love to write for a living, but...oh...to be surrounded by so many books...to read all day...to point others in directions they might not have looked at first....
Yeah. If I ever break even (ie., pay off my house and student loan), that's what I'll do.
Ah, a used bookstore. Yes, I'd love that too. Maybe work in a used bookstore in Paris, oui? On the Left Bank in the Latin Quarter. *grin*
I watched the Da Vinci Code this weekend and have fallen in love with Paris as a result. :)
Good to hear things are working well with your full-time job. It's hard to work full time and write, to find a rhythm to combine both.
