My Writing Goals: 2018
Well, I finished the sci-fi novella that took me years to find the headspace to write it in. I have another sci-fi story that I’m working on, typing word for word. When I write, I tend to trance medium channel the story. In fact, my trance mediumship pretty much is how I learn. I can sit there, recording lectures in my head or with a device. When reading a book, I could almost download it but I have to read it in order to get my memories settled. I mean, I realize an M.F.A. takes a shorter time than an M.S. An M.F.A. at San Jose State is really easy.

Why Getting a Job is So Difficult
You can't live without money and to make money, you need a job. Well what if you cannot get a job? At school, we are told we need "qualifications" and I quote that because having qualifications is poppycock. People do not care about qualifications, they care about experience.

Female in a Male Prison
I'm in my first year as a counselor. It's difficult to go to work every day knowing I am an attractive woman putting myself in a position to be seen by men who are especially prone to lust. Men who are part of a population that tend to have low moral standards. What I have found, though, is a subculture in this other world. A small population that have the most intuitive and dedicated moral structure that is a blessing to witness being built. Here, in this world of men, I find myself torn between who I used to be and who I want to be.

24 and Unemployable
As a child, I had always enjoyed many different activities and had a wide array of interests. I wanted to be an artist so spent hours creating what my father said were masterpieces. I wanted to be a dancer so my mother enrolled me in dance classes and devoted her weekends to watching me on the benches. I wanted to become a musician so got a little acoustic guitar and went to lessons. I wanted to be a fashion designer so cut up all my clothes and tried to hot glue them back together adding every embellishment you could think of. As a child I had many creative dreams. I was an only child and loved to spend hours on my own creating and making things. My mother and father were very supportive of that and I thank them very much for this.

My Job Search Situation
I have a problem with my rib cage being painful and feeling like it is shifting side to side or something. This brace is often why I’m not hired right away. My knee is inching its way to better, give or take my rib cage situation as well. I find that the better I get, the more people will actually hire me, but I have to do a work from home gig for a while because I need to be able to work from home with my injuries in mind. All I need for two jobs is a headset. Rev.com demands I use a headset anyway.

Staying Motivated to Write
Anyone who has a passion for creating, not just written word but any kind of art, knows that in order to complete their work, they must stay motivated. We have all experienced the slip of concentration when it comes to our art, you are not alone. Whether it is just life getting in the way, or the fact that this piece is just not THE piece for you, it is not uncommon to lose focus and it is far too easy to just give up.
