 Except for that one time a few months back where I tried my hand at working outside the home and ended up quitting after a day (you can read about that HERE), I haven't been a part of the work force for almost 17 years. Yep, 17 years.
Don't get me wrong, I've done "stuff" like running an eBay store for over two years on my own, and then of course, working on my writing career. Not to mention raising three kids--the most important job of all. So it isn't like I've been home watching TV and doing nothing (Okay, I've had those days too). But still. I've been thinking of finding a part-time job to supplement my husband's income. We've got growing kids with growing needs, and now that they're a bit older, I feel like this is a perfect time to jump back into the work force. I don't need a job, per se, but extra play money would be great (my daughter is a cheerleader... do you know how expensive that can be? EXPENSIVE. And I will have two teenagers next year. Two. That's not cheap). Well, I found the perfect part-time job. It's with my local school district in their main offices. It's only 16 hours a week, two days a week. The hourly pay is awesome, better than I had anticipated when deciding to get out there and test the working waters. AND to top it all off, it's like five minutes away from my house, if that. It's near my children's schools. I get to dress in business casual (had to go shopping since I tend to wear pj's all day). It's absolutely ideal. I couldn't have asked for better. Really. Nothing better. The pay is great. The working environment will be great. The hours are great. Then why the heck am I so freaked out? Tuesday Writing Tip #5 (This will be a weekly feature.

You can find it HERE  Let's face it, finding the motivation to write can be tough some days. We run into mental blocks where we're not sure which direction to go or what the next scene should be or even if we want to be a writer at all. The story could go this way or that, so we sit stagnant and wait for that all elusive inspiration to strike.
Such a dangerous thing to do. |
