Single parent of twin three-year-olds advice: sleep. I'm finally starting to get enough. I'm not totally exhausted and drained like I usually am around this time in the evening.

Last Post From This House?

- August 14, 2014

This very well could be my last post at my current residence. In the house I moved to after my ex and I separated. The house I learned how to be a single parent to twin boys. The house I lived in when my divorce was finalized. I also got a better job from this house. I applied to many, as recorded on this blog. I actually spent a lot of my free time searching and applying to jobs. I mentioned I was offered and accepted a new one. And that was good. But then after I accepted, I got called in for another interview. There were a lot of things I liked about this job, so I decided to at least go to the interview. A week later, they offered me the positions, and I accepted. This was good too. It just made things very complicated. Letting the prior new position know I was taking a different job elsewhere was the easy part. And they were very cool about the hole thing. The really hard part of going through the process again on finding a new home and day care for my boys. I also and working...

Post Move Anxiety: Mind Has Not Caught Up Yet

- August 31, 2014

I have gotten a good deal of work done with my house this extended weekend. But I have also committed to getting some good rest. I not only deserved it, but I physically and psychologically needed it. I have been going pretty much non-stop since early July. An extremely eventful and life-changing two months. Really great things too. But my god...the pace. Plenty more to do today. It will be a long day. I'm glad for the day off tomorrow. My mind has not quite caught up with this newer reality of getting settled. I still feel the anxiety of starting a new job and moving into a new home. It reminds of college finals. After the momentum of studying non-stop for so long, you finish with you studying and exam taking and then it just ends. But your mind and body have not caught up with the abrupt end. They are still in cramming-anxiety, non-stop for weeks mode. That's me now. College finals did serve a purpose after all. Practice for real life shit. Well done, college.

Playing With Scriptito as a Chromebook Alternative to Scrivener

- April 27, 2014

Wrote some, developed the story some, and looked for ways to organize the story more efficiently. I always get stuck at the organization part. It hinders and even halts my writing process. I was hoping to just dive in and do some writing, but the story is becoming so multifaceted I didn't know where to jump in. Or how. This is when I have typically been prone to putting off a story or just starting on a new idea. So investing time into some kind of organization system, while not time spent on the actual story, is time well spent. The problem is my Chromebook, in a sense. I have really come to love writing on it. It has become my preferred way for writing in general. I like the ease and simplicity. I can log on fast and get to work. It minimizing distraction for me. I even created a separate account within the Chromebook that is solely focused on writing. No other easily accessible web distractions (well, not AS easily accessible). One big drawback is not being able to us...
