Week 1 - Moving and "Them"
Explicit content warning
08/10/20 • 17 min
There was a saying I heard a lot when I was in the military. "Bloom where you're planted." It's not a bad saying when you're in the military. You only have so much choice about where you go or what position you will fill, so you need to learn to be happy and thrive wherever you end up.
But I'm not in the military anymore.
Now I do have control and for too many years I've sat around trying to bloom where I was planted. It didn't work. I'm starting out a new year, and the first order of business is moving someplace where I can bloom better.
Now if I could just get "them" to shut up. You know "them?"
Oh, you don't?

Season 2 Announcement
For the past year and some change, we've been working on this little podcast. We've talked about a lot of different topics. posted a bunch of rants, and told some interesting stories.
But it wasn't an easy year. The world around us changed a lot in just about 6 months' time. My mental health became a bigger challenge and I had my own couple of weeks with COVID-19. The truth is I am almost halfway through my 40th year and I need to make some changes.
That's a story I want to tell, and that's the story Season 2 of Confessions of a Working Writer will try to tell.
Coming August 10, 2020!!!

Week 2 - Slow is Steady, Steady is Fast
I was planning on talking about setting a new morning routine in my new home this week.
Reality had different plans. Moving was chaotic, setting up my office took longer than I thought, and I just didn't feel like a new routine was a priority for me. Honestly, most of life is a balancing act between order and chaos.
As a creative, I tend to prefer chaos. But how in the world do you get things done like that? Simple, you remember one simple truth. Slow is steady, and steady is fast.
Join me for Week 2 of my 52 Week journey to make things happen on Confessions of a Working Writer.
