I am making a kind of peace with my professional life. As my partner pointed out, I need to start looking at one office as the place where I grind and the rest of the opportunities as where I grow. Well, I added the grow. I’m writerly like that. I will be presenting as a writer multiple times in February and moving forward I am abandoning the creative writing program at my community college. It is a personal choice based on a need to get classes and have a schedule I can rely on. CRW is not heavily supported, so if I want the classes to make I need to grind in order to get them to make. Even when I do, it feels like the effort is wasted. More time needs to be spent writing and publishing, so that is what I will do. Meanwhile I’ll grind composition courses and continuing publishing a steady stream of stories in order to remain a relevant writer and keep my heart in it on the path to my novels.
Some Thoughts:
- Waiver Wire coming tomorrow. I’m going to talk coaches, team future, and whatever else I can think of in what figures to be more of a post mortem than anything.
- There is something to this social hierarchy of skins and dances that Fortnite uses. Nothing insidious or clever, but something… basic to human need…
- I’m never going to be perfect. I’m going to screw up in my relationships and I’m never ever going to understand how to act when I do.
