2 Year Countdown
Yep, that's the timeline I'm demanding of myself for this ole writing gig. Or the whole Corporate gig. Depends on how you look at it. By the time my daughter is rearing for preschool, I'm aiming to have my head above water with my fiction writing, as well as some articles under my belt (read editorial contacts) so that I can quit the Corporate thing and be on my own.
Yep. On. My. Own.
Do I love my job? Sure, I like it plenty. I get charged by it. Sometimes super-charged. But most days? Well, I get annoyed with people. I wonder what I am doing spinning my ever-ready wheels about the tediousness called marketing, writing, and product groups, when really, I want to be writing. Or talking about writing. Or talking about talking about writing. And not just any old writing--MY writing. So why not give myself a lofty goal. Then I have to commit to the insanity. And admit to myself that this writing thing is not just a night-time hobby. But a real, live goal that I will have to accountable for.
So, who's with me? Ready to kick some virtual ass? Because I swear, this little goal of mine, when it happens (notice the positive thinking there), it's going to be one hell of a celebration. And you'll be the first to know about it. Let the countdown, begin... now.
