After weeks of no response to various job applications and freelance queries, I’m finally getting some nibbles. Ironically, this has coincided with the death of my phone (by accidental drowning due to my excessive clumsiness) in the wee hours of yeserday morning, so I had to do some rescheduling. But things seem to be falling into place now. I have a writing assignment to complete this weekend, a phone interview Monday, and a possible phone interview/training Sunday evening.

Other than the phone kerfuffle, the timing of the job leads is perfect. This comes at the end of a week in which I’ve done little work, little of anything except sleeping. Between concerns about money, discouragement at the silence regarding various applications and queries, and my brain being in too many different places to decide what piece of creative writing to focus on, I’ve been more of a mess than I have since I arrived here.
