My so called life - Heather edition.

Hello there. Happy Friday! Hope your weekend plans are all set and the weather is nice where ever you are.

So, I've been kind of quiet about things in my life recently. I didn't want to bore you guys with my trials and tribulations.

But, that's when I remembered that's exactly what I created this blog for.

I needed a place to vent.

2013 was a good year. Yeah, by the end things were going to shit, but I didn't know that at the time.

2014. Not my year.

Y'all know about my publisher biting the dust and that I didn't see 75% (ish) of my royalties. (Not that it was going to be a significant amount.)

I was also told at the end of 2013 that the part-time position I held was going to be expanded. Sounds great. The job had to be reconfigured and I would have to apply for it like everyone else. Still, not so bad. I knew I had all the qualifications. I interviewed over 2 months ago.

I didn't get the job.

Unpublished.
Unemployed.

Un-trust... ing.
Un-know... ing.
Un-love... ed?

Okay, maybe not that bad. :)

I know I'll find something else. Not easy with an 8 yr old getting out of school for the summer in a few days, but I'll see what I can do.

I know I'll find a new publisher. If the Universe is kind.

I know I'll be fine and that this doesn't define me or my life.

It hurts, but what doesn't these days?

So, that's my story. I hope I didn't bore or annoy any of you too much.

Let's end this meeting on a high note!

Here's to having the second half of 2014 be better than the first.

 
Please.
