Alright lucid but this one time only

Life as of lat has seemed to be a pretty big puddle of hurry up and get nowhere. This actually doesn't bother me. So long as I feel like I'm accomplishing SOMETHING, the time it take to complete it in the long term seems almost second to just doing something about it right now. So for the last six years I've been compiling this odd future that from the outside doesn't really seem to be getting anywhere regardless of how far I've come.

Case in point: I'm on my way out to a convection where I've made dozens of contacts in the writing industry and have even been formally asked to sit on a comity for these conventions. I was invited as a guest to The World Science Fiction Convention in Montreal because of these connection (which for a nobody is huge) and yet, somehow, I've still not managed to get one damn thing published though at this rate I'm bound too.

School has been much the same as most of my personal attempts at making a future. So far I've had two false starts and three near do-overs. So for the past Six years I've only really accomplished three years of school. But in that time have met a network of different charity shelter organizations that even if I never finish school, my career outside of school is almost a certain thing. Which, really, is the only reason you go to school right?

Dating has been odd. I've not found the one yet. Not sure If I really need to find a "one" but I've bet some of the bets people in my life that way. So, I've got no real partnership to satisfy my needs but I've made so friendships that are down right partnerships anyway and have the family I really always wanted.

Al in all it hasn't really been to shabby a six years.

A lot of people don't really know the high strung, headed for an early grave, effigy to a lack of self respect, that I use to be because so much has changed since those days. I almost feel confident in what is to come, even though I have NO idea what that might be.
