I Ain't Changed but I Know I Ain't The Same
Life continues to be exactly the same, yet I'm in a really good headspace. I'm not crazy about my job, but it is in the field I want to work in, so I'm trying to squeeze every last drop of valuable experience out of the time I'm there (I'm shooting for a year; I reached my six month anniversary this month-so half way there).
I haven't written anything for my novel in almost a month, but I don't feel stuck, I think about my characters and where I'd like them to go everyday so even though I'm not putting words down on paper, I still feel very connected to this world I've created which I'm still in love with. I've recently started talking about my novel and my writerly ambitions with my co-workers and I think this has...freed something in me, maybe? I'm no longer strapping my ambition to my right leg, hidden in my boot; it's out there for the world to see and I better do something about that ambition. The telling of it has made me accountable to it and I'm excited by what I could possibly accomplish.
I just figured out that if I want to meet new people I should probably develop hobbies that include, you know, other people. So I'm excited about finding out what that will be for me.
Life is exciting! Life hasn't been exciting for me in quite some time. I can't wait to see where I take me.
