Keeping Busy

Today begins a rough time period...not working. It carries mixed emotions for me. I know that being laid off had nothing to do with my work performance, but more of a bad timing and circumstance situation. Still, it is difficult to not have a specific reason to wake up at a set time, get dressed and go somewhere. It leads to further questioning of myself, boredom, and sometimes even depression. I refuse to let that happen this time.

While I continue to look for a new job, I will utilize this time to my best advantage. I will set a list of items to do everyday like they were work meetings. I'll have pop-up reminders and everything to keep me on track.That list will contain: exercising, making dinner, laundry, grocery shopping, fun outings and WRITING. 

My assignment for the day is to plan an outing to Pennsbury Manor. I want to take a bunch of pictures for inspiration for my peg board (the one I will be buying to hang in my new office). I began a story a few years ago that I want to revisit and really flesh out the correct way. I'm excited to really do this. Plan on some writing excerpts in the near future as I get my outline in order and begin the fun part of writing actual scenes.

Just wondering...who would be interested in forming a book/writers club? I'm envisioning people that are working on writing projects as well as anyone willing enough to be the guinea pigs that read our writing and give real feedback. We could do online "meetings" with the option of a get together every once in a while to relax, visit good friends and maybe throw in some time to talk about what we liked and didn't like in the books. If you are interested, please comment. 

GOAL - outline will be done in the next week and the detailed writing will commence!
