April Fools!

I'm totally finally writing a post!!!  Wait... is she kidding?  Is she kidding?  No, she's not!!!  I'm so sorry for all you zero people who get your daily blog fix from here.  It's just that, well, the past couple of months have been a roller coaster.  I got accustomed to having full days to accomplish small tasks, like going to the bank.  When I went back to work in late February, my time management skills, usually so well-honed, were all but non-existent.  And I must admit it was strange, going from writing and letting my creativity flow, if only as an escape from the real world, to answering someone else's phones and keeping their schedule.  Despite the fact that that someone is a someone I respect, and who is kind and respectful towards me as well.  I was just... over it. 

And then something weird happened.  Something incredible.  Due to my lovely bosses, I got an agent.  Two agents, actually, who call me every week to check in and call each other names and both despise bowling, just as I do.  And then my lovely bosses took a chance on me, fought for me, and gave me my break.  So I'm a real live, paid writer now, working on a show I love, with people I respect, and I'm still pinching myself, nearly a month later.  I'm still wondering what I did to deserve this, even though I am a bit of a workaholic and I would rather be writing than talking, and I wanted to prove all those people who laughed when I told them what I wanted to do with my life wrong.  There's nothing I despise more than people who dream but don't act on those dreams.  That's just lazy.  When I told my high school English teacher I wanted to write and would appreciate some advice, she laughed and said, "Marry rich."  Imagine my surprise that I don't have to.... for now.....

Hey there, congratulations on the job! So this post reminds me ... the main character in the novel I'm writing has this dream to be a show writer, and she does the OTHER thing at first, which is to not follow her dream, and then her job goes into the toilet anyway, and so she decides to go for it, but I don't know enough about the ins and outs. Like, agent? What? Wondering if I could ask you a few questions some time. Oh yah, and my book isn't a run-on sentence like this comment.
