Back to the writing thing....
Jun. 5th, 2023 06:24 amIf I can get google docs to play right, I'm going to be working on Steampunk today. I'm about 40 pages from the end. That means if I can get a few done today, then a few more tomorrow, then a few more the day after that... Well, you see where I'm going with this. I've been getting burnt out on editing for a while.
But, I'm also picking up Lynx again. Lynx is a story about a psychologically damaged woman who becomes an anchor wife for a defected hockey player. She comes to care for her husband, who loves her, even though her parents are trying to rip them apart.
So, that's what I'm going to be working on next.
Once that is finished, Steampunk's editing should be finished too. And that'll be a load off, but then I have to start editing Faeries, Boy Bands, and Other Alternatives to Necromancy.
So, ya know.
Ugh, keep getting interrupted to do my job. (I signed up for OT and am working it until 9am)
I'm really looking forward to getting back to the writing stage again, even if the story isn't one that has long to go. I think that'll help, that sense of accomplishment. So, that's where I'm at. And OT is awesome because MONEY, which will help, immensely.
On the job front...
I keep getting told no. I want to be in an office, but no one seems to be willing to give me the chance to do that. I don't want to work retail again, just to get out of the house! But it's looking more and more that way.
I get interviews, and in fact have another one tomorrow. Meaning my resume and cover letter are good! The problem is they all want Washington Experience, and I don't have that. I have Ohio experience, and that's not good enough. I swear, we should have come out here earlier, and done my paralegal out here. I'm regretting going to Cincinnati State to get it now.
Sigh. Maybe I'm just bitter that not even Catholic Charities will hire me. They just sent me a rejection letter. With a "Thanks but no thanks" message to it. I'm not sure why, they didn't go into that. I'm just... tired of that happening.
So, that's where things stand here. I'm going to go get writing now.
