General Life Update: September 11, 2022
August was more of the same. I read a lot less last month, and I was pretty much on autopilot while reading those books. I also had another existential crisis about my writing, so I wasn’t in much of a mood to do anything related to this blog. It’s mostly been YouTube, podcasts, and video…

Writing Life Update: Mood Boosters
I got a job!It’s an assignment from a temp agency and the length is up in the air, but I got a job! You can’t imagine how much my mood has improved this past week. It has made it harder to get any writing done, especially with Camp NaNo this month. For the first time…

Writing Life Update: Out of the Blue
My cousin died on Mother’s Day. That weird anxiety I’ve been feeling near the end of April makes a little bit of sense now in hindsight, but I’m still feeling it linger. Normally, I would wait for the end of the month to write my updates, but this month has just been me waiting. I’m…

Writing Life Update: Things Are Looking Up…I Think
April has been good, and I think there are a few signs that things may be looking up for me. The job search is still going, but a few breakthroughs have been made. I got my first job interview earlier this week and I think I handled it well. I don’t think that I got…

Writing Life Update: Creative Cockblocking

Writing Life Update: The Art of Follow Through

It certainly wasn’t helped by the mother of all migraines with a dash of vertigo on the side. That was fun. The constant headache and the hospital is the…

Writing Life Update: Sticking to My Guns
My first week of January has been a mixed bag of sorts. My sleep schedule is way out of whack and I got a really nasty cold over the weekend. Whatever pumped-up energy I had for the new year is gone now. The anxiety has set in again. Despite all of this, I did take…

Writing Life Update: Thoughts on the Residency
I was working on another post, but after the week I had, an update feels rather timely. Blogmas isn’t going as I hoped, but that’s to be expected given my new circumstances. I’m still adjusting; I’m getting more comfortable with the idea of having my toddler around, but not over the copious amount of drool…

Writing Life Update: I Miss My Toddler-Free Life
When my nephew finally came out to live with us, I wasn’t expecting much of a change at first. Well, I was expecting it to be louder and more crowded, but I wasn’t expecting the new transition to be so hands on. He has entered the dreaded ‘terrible twos’ phase, so he’s running around for…

Writing Life Update: Making Myself Accountable
Moving out of my slump has helped me put things in perspective, particularly in regards to career related issues. Despite my paralyzing anxiety over finding work, I did manage to send out a couple of applications on LinkedIn this week. Did I get any interviews? No, but I’m still making an effort and that’s what…
