State of the Blog: Week Six: It's a Steady Job, but He Wants to Be a Paperback Writer

Still here. And still writing. Although not as much fiction and/or creative non-fiction as I would like. Still working on a way to fit doing so into my life. In the meantime, I am writing every day. I have committed to that. Going on six week now (except for one day when exhaustion got the best of me).

My main focus right now is my interview tomorrow. I am feeling relaxed and confident. We'll see if that lasts as I get closer to the interview. Mind set: just be me and be confident in what I know and that I am awesome at what I do. They will either like what I have to offer and feel I am a good fit for the position or not. That part is out of my control.

I also have the luxury of already having a good job with excellent benefits. But there can also be a danger in that. It can make one complacent, not as hungry for possible better jobs. And that is what this is: a better job that will, I hope, propel me to the next stage in the development of my career...just in case I don't make it as a best selling paperback writer. I suppose I will first need to actually sell a story.
