Employed!

Today I was offered a position at a company, so starting a few weeks from this Monday I will be officially employed! Yay! I can't tell you what a relief it is to be working again. As much as I enjoyed having all the time I want to read, write, and cook, there is just nothing as comforting as a solid paycheck. My husband has been very supportive throughout all this for which I'm more than grateful.

I have very little time left, I've realized, until a full-time job will take up most of my waking hours. In the brief span, I hope to get more writing done in between errands and such (i.e. dry cleaning my work clothes). Future obstacles will be time management. I hope to continue writing. I have a lot of ideas rattling up in my head. Great ideas should they ever materialize into written form. So I will, to the best of my ability, trudge on!

Whoo! Okay.

On the Twittering Bandwagon

SO! I finally succumbed to the broohaha over twitter and set up an account. What I am digging about it so far? #writegoal community/forum. Writers post their writing progress for the day and chat and support one another. It's nice to see short phrases of success, words of advice, quick notes on frustration all in one communal area.

From the intelligence I've gathered, it appears that the site was started by a romance author - of course!

Please follow me on twitter! @JessCoeWrites.

All Throughout RomanceLand

The USA Today article: Scholarly writers empower the romance genre. They didn't mention Lisa Kleypas who is a Wellesly graduate either. Who knew about Eloisa James's background. Impressive!

My own writing? Somewhat on hiatus as I had a slew of interviews the past few weeks. I started a contemporary along the way and wrote about 25 pages in one swoop. But, I've reverted back to the historical today as it's all about one project at a time.
