I need to suck it up and get going here. I've been neglecting revisions and continue to spit out new material but at a less than acceptable pace. I need to get this dream of mine underwing and begin focusing on it. Today was my last day at work, it snuck up on me and is trying to get me depressed (I have only one more check coming to me and I can't claim unemployment until I get a new job because I was only a student worker). I need to shake myself loose, exercise to clear my mind when I get home, and buckle down. I will not let the lack of a job get me down! I refuse! What's the point anyway? If I let myself become mopey, I won't get anything done at home and I won't have the desire to write (until I sat down to write this I was already losing that too). Also, it could begin to cause my continuing lack of a job. I have a place to stay, I may lose the internet or awhile, but I'll survive, my son will survive.

However, as stated before, now, more than ever, is the time to revise (especially those stories that are so close to being submittable) and to write as if I were already getting paid for it! By golley, if I don't have a paying job, I will still work! There's no excuse to be lazy when I'm not conducting a job search. I will expect and receive results from other areas in my life, now that I have more time to work on them. I also need to come up with a plan to keep my spirits up. I will get a job! I will write! I will revise! I will submit! Vivé l'auteur! Vivé l'optimisme!

Ja ne!
