Messing with the blogging world since 2005

Slipping up in the blog world

October 11, 2012

I’ve been a bit of hit or miss lately.

I don’t know why, either. Well, I guess I probably do. But usually, blogging has been my way to kind of get away from it all and just write for a while.

But I’ve been struggling lately.

I have a book full of ideas and I just can’t settle in and do them. My focus goes away. I think, for the most part, it’s the real world finally beating me down. There’s some reality hitting hard right now (job stuff) and it’s really getting to me.

I have a post almost ready to go. It’s basically the explanation of everything that’s been going on recently and with the job hunt. I honestly didn’t think this whole job hunt stuff would take this long — and longer. Heck, I received two more rejection letters the other day. I give those two credit — at least they told me I was no longer a candidate. Many nowadays don’t even send that. But, the post I have written has thoughts about the future and everything else. The problem is, I don’t know if I want to post it. I wonder if I’ve put too much out there. So I’m letting it simmer a bit before I decide whether or not to hit the “publish” button.

It’s not just with this blog, either. My other blog — Rattling Chains — has been tough for me to sit down and write, too. Thankfully, there are several awesome writers for the site as well and they’ve done a wonderful job. And, I had a bunch of stories I had written that were in the queue, so that’s saved me a little.

Life is tough, that’s for sure.

I don’t do much anymore. I apply for jobs. I, thankfully, have a part-time job once a week or two that allows me to keep writing in the field. And, it’s something newer on the resume, so that helps. On the weekends, I try and get out and be active.

Goodness knows sitting inside and on a computer all the time hoping for a job isn’t good for the ol’ health. And I’m sure I’ll hear about it at my doctor’s appointment this Friday. That being said, my weight has gone down, which is good.

I’ll be skimming through my ideas book soon, though. My hope is I can get back into the flow again. I have some good ideas, I just need to push myself.

Too, I’m working on a couple of side writing projects. Whether these become book-sized or just something smaller, I’m hoping to eventually be able to self-publish a thing or two (book format/Kindle etc.) and see what happens. The book field is so competitive anymore, so I just want to see what I can come up with.

Hopefully things eventually square themselves out. I can hope, anyway.

Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! You know, Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! 

You know, of course, Santa Paws travels with Santa Clause, making sure to find treats and toys for all the good little doggies! (We know they are all deserving, right?) So, Harper put out some milk for the big guy, carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer, and special cookies for Santa Paws! She is ready!

The colors in the sky were fantastic and the scene was nice looking (though, to be fair, I drove by what I think would have been a better scene -- the valley and hills full of snow etc.)

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
