I made a decision today that I'm not entirely positive about, but that comes with being an adult, right? I've told myself for quite a while that I would take the remainder of this year to devote solely to my writing. Well, weakness (and a shortage of cash) took over my mind and body. I saw the perfect job advertised in the paper. Ten hours PRN social work at a local hospital.
Maybe they won't call me back...that will take care of that. Easy-peasy. But maybe they will. I'm not sure which I want more. It would be so nice to have a little extra cash, and I tell myself that having a parttime job will alleviate much of the guilt I feel in financing my wild writing experiment. My husband's been more than patient.
I'll think I'll just go with the flow and see what happens. At the least, it will keep my skills sharp for when my bubble lands, and I confront the fact that the writing gig probably won't pan out. At the most, it will insert some much needed money into my account to help pay for all the conferences. And it's just ten hours. I hope.
What's your day job? How do you pay the bills when you're writing on the side?
