Divisions and Precisions

Random Mondayness

It's getting dark much much too early. Grr. The week after we change back from daylight savings time always sucks. :P

Finally, after two weeks, I'm starting to get this restless feeling, which tells me I should be ready to start working seriously on something here soon. I've spent the last two weeks fiddling with odds and ends, rewriting, making sketches for stories and novels, but no real serious work. Saturday is the beginning of NaNoWriMo. I imagine I'll be chomping at the bit by then.

Other than that, there hasn't been much to report. We got new furniture for our living room last week. It's gloriously comfortable and prone to causing extreme drowsiness--but not like the soul-sucking couch where I couldn't escape. It causes more of a "Sunday afternoon with nothing else to do" sort of drowsiness. Needless to say, there was some serious napping going on here yesterday.

The job hunt continues on apace. I should hear something back from Borders this week, and there are a few more resumes going out. I no longer feel like a big slacker, considering the stories I've heard from other job hunting folks. The lack of response I'm getting doesn't mean I'm unemployable, it means that the job market really does suck right about now. I'm less discouraged than I was last week.

Also less discouraged on the business end of writing as well. The past couple rejections I've gotten have been the encouraging kind, the "this won't do but send us more" kind. The handwritten kind. I think I'm making progress.
