Mmmmm. I'm gradually learning how to drive whenever I can get in the practice, and I'm slowly but surely doing my college transfer whenever I can get a ride...and I'm nowhere even close to having something resembling a job. I haven't even been selling any work part-time.

Ffffffff. That is irritating. Sure, it's only been a month and a few days, but I thought I accomplished more than that. I think one of my problems is that I'm waiting for outside forces to align to make things more convienent. Back when I started I was way more pro-active, and now I've settled for complacency.

And I'm still pretty scared of trying to sell my work without any past references and other stuff I hate. Selling writing involves a lot of back work that, frankly, I'd rather not do. That's partly why I was looking to build a writer's platform to create a presence and my own demand, and not have to send out queries and look for markets. (By the way, it's kinda hard to get market resources when you're, ahem, broke like I am.)

I don't know. Maybe I'm just feeling impatient. I guess if I just hunkered down and cut through the bulls***, shot past the unpleasantness, things would go faster.
