I hope everyone is doing good. Give me a few seconds to gather my thoughts...
For starters, I've relocated. As of last week I'm no longer residing in Connecticut. I was having a lot of issues at work and with my landlords, so I've moved to Pennsylvania with my mother.
Lack of independence is brutal. But she offered me a place to stay. To relax, work on my writing, and I took it.
I'll be starting the job search real soon. Wish me luck!
I've spent the last week trying to put things in order in my new- smaller -bedroom. I'm homesick. And I'm really nervous about starting a new life in a new state. I've lived in CT for 17 years. Everything was familiar. Now when I look out the window and see the buildings, I don't know what I'm looking at.
You know that feeling of claustrophobia?
You know that feeling one gets when they sit and think about the universe; how we're just a speck living in a speck that's located in a speck of billions of specks?
Combine those two and that's exactly how I'm feeling.
Hopefully with time it'll pass. Hopefully. In the meantime, I'm going to be out of touch. I have no internet. Right now, I'm at the public library. Which thankfully isn't that far from where I live. (Thanks Lisa for looking into it.)
I can't tell you guys how much I miss the internet! It's my life. Sad, I know.
**Momentarily distracted by a cute white boy**
I've also spent the week talking to my friends back home. I miss them so much. But I don't cry anymore, yay! (Yeah, I know, I'm a wimp. Got a problem with that?)
I've also been texting Lisa. She's the only familiar thing I got left. She's probably tired of me. Hehe. Sorry, Lisa.
Lisa wants me to finish my story by next week. I told her I would. WHAT THE HECK DID I SAY THAT FOR!? I'm gonna try. I hope I do. I really want to start brainstorming for NaNoWriMo. Ideas have been bubbling to the surface and I keep pushing them back. I know once I open that door, there will be no stopping the ideas from consuming me. They're kinda like Pringles: Once you pop the fun don't stop! So while the ideas are trying to come out, I'm keeping them away best I can. I want to focus as much as I can on Ashley's story before I go get excited on new ideas.
Still waiting to hear from SBP. It'll be exactly 2 months in 2 days. I don't think they liked it. Oh well. I wont think about that yet. I'll worry about finishing this story and NaNo, then I'll figure out what to do next.
That's all that I've got to report on. Till next time!
