Thank you all for all your reps and PM's about my job! Trust me, this is a good thing. In fact, the best possible good thing right now, short of T3N making the list or something equally as unlikely.
Basically, I'll be working part time starting Monday. My boss has decided to keep the business running in a pared down capacity. She signed a 6-month lease on hosted office space yesterday, so basically all I have to do is come in 2 days a week or so and do all the payroll, billing, and admin crap. Oh, and she's going to continue my full benefits.
Yeah, exactly. How could this be better?
Since JL and I are now splitting expenses, even if this PT job only lasts 6 months (I don't anticipate her plan working out quite the way she thinks it will...) by then hopefully JL will have a full time lawyering gig and I can piggyback on his healthcare benefits, and continue on as a full time writer.
Crazy that I do all this just so I have full medical coverage, isn't it?
It's a little scary - I've always worked. Like since I was 12. And the idea of NOT going to a 9-5 is a mix of exciting and terrifying. My goal is to knock out in the next 8-9 months:
- first draft of G3T EVEN
- proposal for revamped version of R3LIC, synopsis plus 6 chapters
- 4 horror short stories which H@rper wants to put on their digital imprint
- second draft of G3T EVEN
- hire an editor for the novel I signed with Ginger on, and hopefully sp that shit
- first draft of R3LIC
Then if I have to get another day job a year from now, at least I'll be slightly ahead of the game.
That's the plan, at least. Oh, that and maybe getting knocked up next year. BOOM! Didn't see that coming, didja?
