Writing Process

Books I am currently in the midst of reading:

Hooked by Les Edgerton
Naturally Thin by Bethenny Frankel
Late, Late at Night by Rick Springfield
For Hearing People Only
On Writing by Stephen King

That doesn't count the 100 or so books I have started and stopped meaning to come back to later.

I was writing for a while. Working on "my baby". Then doing some writing exercises from a writing book I was reading. Nothing is clicking. So I keep immersing myself in OTHER people's writing.

This Weeks' Top Five

Rumor Has It - Adele
Kneep Deep - Zac Brown Band
Falling In Love at a Coffee Shop - Landon Pigg
Bartender Billy - Mike DeAngelis
Past the Point of Rescue - Hair of the Dog

Groundhog Day

I have never seen the movie but I know the premise. I am pretty much right where I was a year ago at this time, however making less money. Not quite sure how that has happened. My father believes I have wasted the last 10 years of my life because I truly have nothing to show for it. Kinda makes you wonder if you should have gone right when you actually chose left. I chose Kingston over ASD for the money. $11K more. Had a choice between CSD and NYC and chose the one closest to home, the "safe" choice. Ugh...

The decision to take the job I currently have, despite the crappy pay and alien land, was one I made for all the right reasons: my sanity. And I don't regret it. But I have to stop WAITING for my life to work itself out.

The one difference between last year and this year is that I'm not MISERABLE. I'm worried about my finances but I not miserable or depressed like last year.

One step at a time...
