Today...

[prosodic]

...has been pretty okay.

Beautiful weather. It's been nice to sit outside on the patio and enjoy cold drinks and watch Reece play in the backyard.

I haven't gone anywhere at all today. It's been awhile since I could remember just staying home all day. Much needed. Lance and I took Reece for a walk earlier, but that was the only time I left the house. Lance stayed home most of the day too, except for a quick trip to Lowe's.

Lance is getting ready for his trip. I've been chatting with Paula on Facebook IM, reminiscing about our college years and discussing what might have happened to certain people we knew back in the day. This has resulted in many Google searches.

Creativity is brewing. I made a list of potential article topics to submit. I am looking to submit a previously published article for publication again and I'm looking for a good place to do that. I've got all kinds of ideas that are going in every which direction. But this is good. Creative chaos. It's been awhile.

I updated my info on Associated Content and I think I'll submit for them again. Probably not on a permanent basis or anything, since they don't pay well. But it's a way to get my feet wet again while I look for bigger publications to query (plus, they pay faster). I know I already want to query to AAA Journey. A friend of mine has done work for them before and she says they pay very well.

So before I admit defeat and start looking for a traditional, boring, unfulfilling job again, I'm going to give this a shot. What do I have to lose? Nothing, at this point.

I hope so...I know I'm a good writer. But that's not always enough. Sometimes it's about knowing the right people or knowing the right tricks to get the work that you want.
