Breakthrough

So far so good. The light switch is still on and my idea bulb is glowing brighter then ever. This morning I actually set pen to paper and wrote a few pages on my novel. The ideas are once again flowing and it feels like I can't write fast enough. I haven't felt that in a long time and it is so refreshing.

It seems like I have had a breakthrough overnight. Not only am I working on my novel but I am writing in my journal again. I forgot how light I feel after I vent on paper about everything that happened that day. Its like I am transferring all my anxiety, anger, and happiness from my brain to paper so then I can go back later and look at it objectively. It's a great method and I recommend everyone doing it. It never fails to make me feel better.

The fact that I have been posting almost regularly this week is another example of how I have changed. When I first started this blog, I was apprehensive how long I could keep it up. In fact I only posted twice and then there was lull until this week. I never knew what to write but now since my brain is finally working, I can't seem to shut up. I guess that is a good thing cause it gives me more to write about.

Besides writing and blogging I have been searching online for jobs in my field again. I even applied to two jobs. One was for a reporting job in Monmouth County and the other was for a copy editor. I haven't heard anything yet but for once it doesn't seem to bother me. My idea to just work at Rite Aid and move up the ladder was just an excuse. It's not what I want. I posted my resume on journalismjobs.com so that jobs can find me instead of just the other way around. I was considering that in the meantime I do some freelancing. I never realized how many online mags and sites need writers. Some of them seem promising though I am always apprehensive to apply. I don't know why. Journalismjobs.com now has a freelance section and since its a legit site, opposed to say..Craigslist, I am seriously considering in applying. I can make some good money and I can write when I feel like and what I feel like it. Besides my writing gets noticed which only helps my resume and experience.

Well thats it for now. Have to get ready for work...
