Working on it
January 27 ,2008
Not really, but sorta, about the only writing practice I've been getting in with all that's going on is a little bit of written roleplay. Several projects have been put on hold and a lot of my time is going into learning how to use editing audio program with a skype recorder so I can reopen my podcast project soon, lots of people miss it including myself and it never really was fair for Hallus to do all this work just 'cause he was the only one who knew what he was doing with it.
I do occasionally get to write a few snippets, many of them are very short scenes when I have a moment to breathe. I have nothing submitted and haven't done any market research lately. And I'm getting to the point where I'm wondering why I even bother trying to get paid for it except that we need the money and with child care being so expensive any job I could get, even with an Associates' degree will pretty much just pay for the child care and there don't seem to be any jobs around willing to work with an unpredictable school schedule (when he's home I need to be home).
Now I'm looking to go back to school to get a BS in psychology online, take classes from home, if I can get enough grants, loans, etc *sigh* I miss school.
To top it all off I'm considering a writing/podcast live or recorded show offering myself as an ear to talk to. Sort of like an advice columnist deal but rather than being a clinical neutral, pitch it in the caring compassionate way I feel toward people and helping them. A friend to talk to that makes you feel better sort of thing. I've always been told I'm good at that *shrug*
I don't know, I just wish I could figure out a way to make money from home without having to trust in something that probably is a scam of some sort that will put my family out of money instead.
