The Best Laid Plans...

Well, you know the saying.

Why is it that things always go wonky, just when you think you've gotten everything all figured out?

Is it some kind of requirement for life? Murphy's Law, or some such nonsense?

I'm sure things will be okay - they generally work themselves out - but it's interesting how things always seem to force me to grow and change, even (especially?) when I'm quite comfortable where I am. 

I'm sure I'm not the only one, and I'm sure I'll be better off in the long run - but that doesn't make it easy at the time.

I do know that feeling, as you and I have discussed. At the first of the year, I thought my future lay with writing for Suite101 and Examiner. When I realized that was foolhardy, I thought my future lay with Mahalo. Now that I see that isn't working, I'm putting some eggs into the DS and Break baskets, and trying to get my blogs generating some income. I'll be happy to help in any way I can. It's been a rough year for a few of us, and we need to stick together.

Thanks, Deb. It has been rough - and just when I'm trying to move and buy a new house. Ugh! I write for DS and Break, too, but it's not what I want to do long-term. I keep trying to find more private clients. I have a couple, but it's hard to get more because there's so much competition.

I have a few publishers looking at my books - I know that's where my future lies, but nothing ever seems to go fast enough for me! lol.

I'll be happy to help you out, too, if there's anything I can do. I agree about us sticking together. There's definitely strength in numbers! :o)
