The Process
For me, poetry strikes like lightning. Fiction, on the other hand, is pure toil. Sometimes, it's the toil of really great sex. Sometimes it's more like playing solo tag with Dick Butkus wearing a Minnesota Vikings uniform and covered in hot dogs. Sometimes you just get Dick, you know?

Wow


And what a year. I moved halfway across the country (again), left a job without prospects (again), but am so much better off when I last experienced this purposeful craziness. I am back in Texas, this time in Austin, and I love it. It was the right emotional decision to make. Financial? I'm still waiting to see that pan out but I have not yet begun to get desperate or to lose hope.

Quick Updates:

  • I have an outline for my novella. I have three novellas-novels planned after this one, with 4 additional ideas requiring development
  • I have taken up the task (yet again) of journaling offline
  • I am joining a local writers association and attending monthly meetings
  • I am taking flamenco dancing lessons as of October 13th
  • I am planning to start a technical writing certification program before the end of this year
  • I am looking for a permanent job assignment within state or federal government (at least until I get the tech cert)

    Whew. Okay, so there were plenty of reasons not to update the journal.
