Well, I sent off my first follow up regarding the novel to an writing agency a couple of nights ago, but I haven't heard anything back from them yet. Just hoping I hear something from them soon. In the meanwhile, I'm still looking at my existing materials, novel-wise and short story wise.
That being said, thing's aren't doing that great. I've got a lot snappier and prone to anger as of late. I didn't want to admit it, but I feel like that I need a new job, as the current one is now starting to not only become even less furfilling as of late, but I'm getting fed up of dealing with the ignorance of other people who treat people in my position like crap. The basic plan is to get the novel out so I can focus on writing proper. However, given how slow the whole thing is at the moment, I might start looking for another job.
The problem there is, frankly, I've have had enough of working in the service sector. I am not leaving the job I'm currently doing now only to end up doing the same kind of shitty job with a different company. That means going into a field which I know I'm going to have to fight tooth and nail to get into.
And if the book doesn't take off... welp, I'm going to have to explain to my family how I'll apply for military service. Feelings on the matter be damned. I said it before, but I'll be damned if I work in a shop for the rest of my life. Getting shot at would be preferable. Hell, being dead would be more preferable than living as a failure and deadbeat waste of space.
I'm joking on that last one, don't worry. But it kinda makes my point.
It doesn't help I've had a little bit of an epithany earlier today when I was in a more foul mood... and a particularly dark one at that which could explain alot, even if it makes me rather uncomfortable. I still have to kinda work that one out on way or another. If I feel up to explaining that one, I will.
Oh, and I'm working over the bulk of Easter. Great.
