This week my friend asked me to write as many articles as I could come up with for his online magazine, my chiropractor asked me to write some informational cards, and I went on a job interview for a position as a photographer's assistant. ALL GOOD! I am SUPER happy with this work! I have just never written so much in my LIFE! hahaha! To me, this is what it is all about, I love freelancing. It's like a writer's rollercoaster. You feel sick and exhilarated at the same time. The only downside (and its not even really a downside) is that I have not had time to write in my book all week. It's all good, because I am totally taking that writing project in stride. It is a healing for me as well as a writing project. When the time comes for me to write about my husband's death, it is going to be very difficult. I guess I am
"gearing up" for that, and I shouldn't. Part of my healing process is just taking each day as it comes, I guess, like an alcoholic. In the past I have always been such a negative person, sad sap, woe-is-me...and I've come to realize that is a HORRIBLE way to live. I don't live like a super happy chipmunk either...I just sort of make myself pliable, like water. I go with whatever. Somethings make me mad or nervous or scared, but I learn to recover quickly and just see where that event takes me next. I am usually pleasantly surprised.
I am anxious to get back to my book, but I am more happy that I am getting paid to write and be creative.

Congratulations! That is awesome!!! I am very, very happy for you. I wish I could get into the freelance business but I have social anxiety and I swear it just freezes me up. I just got a laptop so maybe I can get more writing done on my books and finally figure out how to go about getting them published. Again, congrats on the writing projects you have and I like that you are taking your time with your book. And when you type the last word I hope you can lean back, smile and feel fully satisfied and complete.
