So here is a positive update, Uncommon friends: this week I have procured two additional PAYING writing gigs, and the best part is that they have potential for long term revenue.
SWEET!
I have joined two new writing communities that pay for my work, and I am totally thrilled about it. I suppose I will be even more thrilled when that starts to show itself in my paypal account.
As far as the current job goes, well – it goes. In exciting news there, I am seriously starting to consider giving them my notice. It is hard, because they are getting all these projects lined up for me and I know that I won’t be there to complete them (but they don’t know). So I am internally excited, but at the same time also getting anxious to just tell them. It is hard because I know they will be shocked – by all outward appearances I like my work and I am hoping to get ahead there. Not to mention I am starting to feel guilty because they are short staffed and everyone is stretched thing, etc etc other cliches about too much work etc etc.
I just keep trying to remind myself that they won’t thank you if you stay an extra month or six – they won’t appreciate the sacrifice on your side. The only thing that will be accomplished by staying to help them out will be my life plan is deferred even further – and that is something I am not ready to compromise on.
So good news, anxious news, and over-coming guilt news.
But all news that represents a step in the right, and the write, direction.
