Fingers crossed that things pan out for you! And really happy to hear that you’re writing again.

I totally get what you mean about your feelings toward the 9 to 5. I like what I do a lot, but I don’t do it to get a management position or the like. When I worked as a journalist or freelanced, the hours were fewer and the pay was lower, but I had more time to write that first novel, for example. It’s a trade-off.

Thanks Oscar! :) Yep, it is a trade off. I think I'm burned out on the 9 to 5 right now, but that being said if a good opportunity came through, I would have to consider it given my current circumstances. I'm still holding out though that things will fall into place and allow me time to write AND be able to pay my plethora of bills. Please God.
