So, in the spirit of attempting to keep my New Year’s Resolutions, here I am with a post this week! I’ll admit to having a bit of difficulty with the whole motivation thing lately, but when I went to a party recently and 3 people (ahem: Adam, Ben, and Rene’) brought up my blog, it not only made me smile, it reminded me that more people than just my parents read Almost Grown-up.
Not that I’m not grateful, Mom and Dad. 😉
So, how are things in Almost Grown-up-dom these days?
Could be worse. Could be better.
I’ve got a second interview today for a second part-time job because the fact of the matter is that I just do not make enough money as a hostess.
I know, right? Who’d’ve thunk it?
I’m still working on my novel because no, I don’t want to be working two part-time jobs for the rest of my life. I browse the listings for office jobs from time to time, but wind up clicking that little red ‘x’ when I realize that none of them hold even the slightest bit of interest for me. I contemplate grad school and studying for the GRE from time to time and then wonder if I really want to go to grad school or if I just want to try to go back into a bubble of academia and avoid the real world. What would I study? What would I want to be if I didn’t want to be a writer?
Does anyone else have these future/identity crises?
At any rate, right now, it’s looking like maybe it’ll be a little easier to pay my bills until I finish my novel (which is currently untitled since I decided that I didn’t like the one I was working with), revise it, get an agent, and get my break.
