Hello friends,
It feels like it's been ages. I've been at my new job nearly a month now, and I had nearly forgotten about keeping up with this blog. I think that writing it regularly will be a bit of a tall order nowadays. All of my creative writing energy has been funneled into writing two blog posts a week for SparkPress, and the topics are basically what I wanted this blog to be in the first place, but never got around to writing.
Work is good. It's not exactly what I thought it would be, but I'm working a full-time job in the industry of my choice, and I feel good about what I'm doing. I'm learning a lot, and get to spend my days reading, writing, and editing (and doing some admin work). What more could I ask for? I should be wrapping up training in the coming weeks.
I'm considering doing NaNoWriMo. I've been saying I was going to do it "next year" for about 6 years now, and I feel like this is the first year that it's actually feasible. My only concern is that I don't have a story to tell right now. Most of the inspiration for what I write comes from my own life, and while it may seem to the casual observer that moving across the country for a new job sounds like the start of a grand adventure, the day-to-day has been mostly mundane. I work. I eat. I dance. I watch absurd amounts of Netflix and YouTube. I sleep. That's about it.
I still have time. If I actively look for it, maybe inspiration will come. I'll come up with a story I want to tell. If not... maybe next year?
Anyway, this was just a little life update. I'm trying not to completely abandon this blog but... we'll see.
