Jobs, jobs, jobs...


It's about time I wrote for you all again!

What have I been up to? Well, I've been writing queries, contacting Canadian publishers, writing pieces for various papers trying to get published and searching for media jobs. Sound familiar? Is this what your life is like too? Endless self-promotion and job searching with paying jobs mixed in for reinforcement? Good, I'm not alone then.

Of course that's not how I spend my off time. Then I write in my journal. Wow, does it ever stop? Yes, when I watch movies, go out for dinner and drinks, spend time with my son, spend time with my boyfriend and clean, do laundry and veg.

Fall is rapidly approaching and it's pretty darn nippy today. I'm going to walk my doggie tonight and he will love it--he's a cool weather pooch!

It's so much easier to hunker down and work when it's cool and damp outside. I could barely wrap my head around work this summer (and falling in love with my boyfriend had absolutely nothing to do with my lack of focus, honest).

Now, the focus has come back because the kids are back in school and all is routine once more (and the love is solid and deep so focusing is easier).

I will keep you updated on my job-search progress. It's exciting and you never know where the next job will pop up from. That's the fun of it for me.

Have a great one all! Write you soon.
