Just An Update
Wow... I cannot believe that it's going to be time for NaNoWriMo in just a couple of days. I don't know that I'm as ready as I hoped I'd be at this point, but I'm certainly ready enough. This is going to be my third NaNo, so I'm not at all nervous about being able to write or finish -- especially not this year. Since I shifted my focus onto my writing this year in regards to my freelancing, I've certainly been in the habit of writing on a daily basis, so it won't be as if I'm picking it back up after a year off or anything. I'm good to go! So how about the rest of my NaNo people? Are you ready? What are you going to be writing about this year?
In other news, I'm pretty excited about a new job I applied for a little bit ago. I only just found out today that I actually got it! I'll be in charge of producing a monthly astrology newsletter, including actually making and writing up the predictions. I'm really excited, because this is something I always thought I'd enjoy doing, but I never really knew how you went about applying for such a thing. Well... now I know, and I can't wait to start! It pays well, too!
I'm really trying to keep the promise I made to myself that I wouldn't let my work projects keep me from continuing to pursue my personal projects. For a while, I was seriously considering forgoing NaNoWriMo altogether this year, but then I decided against it. I should be factoring things like that into the mix when I'm divvying out my time for the month, so I did that. Between the new astrology job and a couple more projects I've been given by two of my regular clients, I've got more than enough going to keep the cash flowing through November, but not so much that I won't have time to work on my NaNo novel.
Now if I can only manage to get back in the habit of painting on a regular basis. I haven't finished a single piece of new artwork since I moved to Montana! I'm pretty sure most of my fans on Deviant Art think I'm dead.
