Hello again, friends. I am inspired to write this entry thanks to two private messages I received from redditor shannibell. I have been very lax in my writing lately, so shame on me. I am desperately trying to rededicate myself to my first love: fiction writing. But sometimes life gets in the way and that is what I'm currently struggling with.
I just recently moved to be closer to my new job, but found out that they would be doing mass layoffs within the next two months (so this is potentially the second time in six months...). If I am one of those people laid off, trust me, I will be writing much more than I have been. I will obviously have the time like I did when I lost my job in March.
I have been doing my best to develop Iona and Bjarke into robust and beloved characters and figuring out what direction I want to take their story in. I think about them every day to and from work. I think of several situations those cheeky kids can find themselves in.The same is for Asra and Liore. I have been writing tiny tidbits about them and tucking them away. In my panicked packing, I literally balled up one of the small sections of story I wrote and threw it into the box just to make sure I wouldn't forget it.
I hope you will all stick with me while I make my way through this muddled mess that is my job situation and hopefully tonight I can write a bit more about either Bjarke and Iona or Asra and Liore. (I'm not going to lie, my boyfriend and I have plans to watch How to Train Your Dragon for a bit of inspiration and the fact that I love that movie.)
Thank you again for all the encouragement you have given and I hope to write something worth reading soon!
