Status update

As I mentioned on my other blog, I got in an argument on-line over the past week, and the truth is I've been taking it too much to heart. It's crazy how it just eats away at you, hurt and resentment and fear of being wrong.

But then today I had a job interview, during which the interviewer told me that I basically had the job. It's not a great job, and I'll wait till I actually sign the papers before I throw a party, but it's something. It's better than nothing. Whew!

The good thing is, the job won't necessarily interfere with my writing ambitions. All I need is a little self-discipline!

Heh, pray for me!

Getting organized

At the advice of several of my friends, I'm taking two new steps to add a little order to my life: making a to-do list, and using a timer.

The to-do list is, of course, an ancient concept which I have resisted mainly because of my laziness. After all, making a to-do list is a thing that one has to do. So I'm going to put "make tomorrow's to-do list" as the last item on today's to-do list. Let's hope this will elongate, if not perpetuate, the habit.

The timer I purchased is a mid-level kitchen timer. It has buttons for the numbers zero through nine, so that I can input the exact minutes and seconds I wish to time. It counts up as well as counting down. I'll use it to make sure I'm spending a certain amount of time on each form of writing I have to do.

Tools are only as good as the person using them, so please pray for me that I'll use them well!

Prayer request: personal

My family is going through a difficult trial right now, though I'm not really able to give details. Still, please keep us all in your prayers. Thank you, and God bless you!
