It’s October, and I’m back at it! Perhaps you’ve wondered where I’ve been, well it’s all coming up this month so check back every day to get the deets. I must admit, it’s a bit scary writing about being fired. Oh, by the way, I was recently fired from my job. I mean, writing, for me is kinda scary period. I always seem to be besieged with writer’s block – even more so when it comes to the topic of your job giving you the old heave-ho. But as the story goes, I must write. And too, people are getting fired, laid-off, at the very least experiencing some form of rejection all the time. I figured sharing my experience has the potential to make someone else feel not so alone.
But there’s more to life than a job. This month, I’ll also be talking about life outside of work – just life in general, because good, bad and everything in between, life is so fucking interesting! That’s the power of stories in general, giving someone something to relate to, or exploring something new. I’m going to be doing that all month, so thanks for coming along with me!
This week’s (October 2 -7) posts are gonna be all about getting fired: how it happened (why I think it happened), lessons I’ve learned, what I’ve been up to since and how I’m moving on.
Remember that short story I wanted to turn into a book? Yep, haven’t done so yet, but it is my goal to prioritize that during this last quarter of the year. The following week’s (October 8 -14) posts will be all about the self-publishing process. From putting my final editing touches on it to finding an actual editor and all the things I have to do to get this book out of my computer and into your hands.
I’m kicking off the third week (October 15 – 22) as a no work, no career talk zone. I’m bringing back an old favorite to discuss. Can someone say Movie Scenes I Love? I’ll also be talking about the Bible and God, food, interesting things I’ve read about or saw online – just no work or career stuff.
Finally, I’ll wrap up the month (October 23 – 31) with thoughts on being alone versus being social. Lately, I’ve been seeing some interesting commentary on that, and of course I have thoughts about it of my own. Be sure to check back in during the last week of October to get my take on the matter.
As a matter of fact, be sure to check back every day during the month of October, because new posts will be coming every day for the entire month! See I keep saying that so I can hold myself to it, because you know how I be doin’.
Welcome to my write a post everyday for the month of October challenge! As usual, entries will be posted sometime before midnight.
Bear with me y’all – this is hard…but I’m so excited!
