So, as my Facebook friends already know, I finished my third book! And I already have ten possible, unofficial ideas for my fourth. I know how it will begin and end, but the others are a little iffy.
Here's the joke, although I'm not at all kidding; the reason I began writing this book still hasn't happened. From July 24th, 2014 to May 24th, 2016...that's all filler. Detail. Damn, right? I know. But it's entertaining as hell; and my fourth book will, hopefully, wrap things up.
But I don't care if it takes me until the twentieth book. I'm having the best time! Well, the best time one can have when she's all alone, waiting anxiously for nerve-wracking appointments and school to begin. I just know if I were directing a movie, it wouldn't take me a year to make each episode. There'd be people who would do whatever I told them to, to make it happen exactly as I want. There might be other directors...But when I'm sitting here, all by myself, it takes longer, because nobody's here to help me.
Still, I was born to do this. I was born to write. I'm even hoping my line of employment will be as an editor! I'm always correcting people, I'm an English literate; why not put those traits to good use? I'd be surrounded by people who would want me to correct them! I'd be right at home!
So on June 6th, I need to tell my case manager that I've changed my mind about working with pets - allergies, dander, whatnot - and would prefer to work as an editor's apprentice, instead. He might be flustered with my inconsistency, but I just have a very good feeling about this.
