Update

There has been a lot going on and as a result I am lagging behind in my posts... no excuse but it happens.

Like so many writers I have a day job and up to last week I've been able to keep it balanced. This past week I've learned a few interesting developments that has sent me careening to the edge of destroying that balance. My manager has quit... well actually she took another job in the company. I am happy for her as she is a well-respected woman, but now everything is being dumped on me. Many people can sympathize, I am not the first nor last to have to do two jobs. On the other hand, there is a posting for a lucrative job in my same department but pays way better and the job is way more interesting. Two people have so far told me I should apply for the job without me mentioning anything - very interesting. I have until the end of the month to decide and submit my application. This is a huge decision because not only do I have to compete for the job, I might not get it but if I do I will be abandoning my team and moving fifteen feet away to do a job that is wicked cool.

The other distracting event happening right now is my health - not going to go into detail but I'm working hard to get my shit together. I thrive on stress but I'm starting to feel weak and I need to start eating healthier and get back to running.

The writing is coming along, almost halfway there. I thought of another book idea on Thursday, crazy and wild. I wish had had time to write all day long, the excitement of a new idea can eat a person up if they cannot let it flourish.

There are not enough hours in the day.
