Where Do I Go From Here?

By On October 6, 2009 · 3 Comments
It’s no surprise to my readers (I think I have readers…hard to tell these days since my best ones have gone MIA & I’m not sure if I’ll get them back….) that my job is not my favorite place to spend time.  Besides tumult in working with the office personnel, I am at the point where my job doesn’t challenge me…and me + unchallenging work =disaster.  I have trouble focusing when I’m not challenged which means procrastination & other self-defeating habits.  I’m not happy where I am yet with the job market & economy the way it is…well I would most certainly need another, higher paying job before I consider letting this one go.  I’m on the horns of a dilemma & I really wish I had a nice comfy cushion ‘cuz I think I’m going to be here awhile. My true deep down desire is to write…I want to write a book (I have no idea what that book would be), I want to work on my poetry & someday publish a small book of it with a dedication to my husband (and a poem dedicated to someone who inspires me to write better), I want to have time to go out & take the pictures that speak to me & fuel my creativity.  I want to take those pictures & create a book of the places that feed my soul in hopes of sharing that with someone when they need it the most. Today I got a text message from Mom who relayed a message from Aunt D.  Basically they both think that I should write.  Heh, I’m not disagreeing but I know that there really isn’t money in writing unless you’re Stephen King or Michael Crichton or J.K. Rowling.  I’m not…and I’m okay with that.  I just wish I knew where I was supposed to be. I guess I don’t really have a point  to this post except to posit the question- Where do I go from here?  I don’t know & I’m running out of faith that I’ll be getting any answers.

    Go for your dream!! If you don’t, you’ll always be looking back, wondering what would have happened. I’ll be cheering you on, plus I’m an English major.

    And if you have down time between books, I really think you would do great with wedding/event planning. Seriously. You are so well-organize and have an eye for those details that you need to make the events special. I’d write a recommendation for you!!!

    You mention that you’re not sure about your readers, I wonder if the fact that your tweets are now private has anything to do with it. Oddly, it says I can DM you, but when I try to view your page, I have to request to follow. I haven’t seen you on Twitter in a while. I guess I know why now. As far as the rest of your post goes…I have more questions than answers myself. However, you are still here, still breathing, and still with a desire. Consider that you may not be able to control what happens, but you can control your reaction to it. Here’s to discovery! (@JoLoPe)
