Writer's Tick-Tock

Last night at around midnight I had an urge to start writing the book that I have always wanted to write. I always said I never really knew what I wanted to say to the world, but all of a sudden clear ideas were popping into my head and finding their way into my TextEdit. Wherever that burst of writer's energy came from, THANK GOODNESS.

It was exactly what I needed to make myself feel a little better this month. I love that I finally had the courage to quit the cubicle a year ago in favor of pursuing some of my deepest loves... but as with anything, there are sacrifices and trials along the way to keep me guessing and questioning. It keeps my life unpredictable.

But what a fucking horror of a month it's been! I know all of life has ups and downs, but February not only boasts the shortest number of days (despite the leap year, I may add) it can also add to its list -- the first snow storm of the year in New York, my first time actually working on Valentine's Day, various personal struggles and the brokest month of my life since quitting my full-time job and forging on to freelance life. I know in the end these growing pains will pay off (one can hope, eh?), but what a fucking ride, dude.

In all honesty though, I'm thriving off the whole goddamn thing. I'm not all complaints. There were a lot of bright moments, too, thanks to my lovely stable of close friends. I am thankful for having a great support system to keep me breathing in the city. THANK YOU!
