"Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread roots into the very depth of your heart. Confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

That whole "Believe in Yourself" thing works.

Okay, I quit the job at the Law Office. 

I start working at the restaurant tomorrow morning. My schedule is as follows:
Sunday: 9-4
Tues-Fri: 1:30-7.

Gives me plenty of time to do the things I want, and make a little cash while I'm there.

But I'm kind of excited already because

I FINISHED A SHORT STORY.  

*I mean, like, 10 pages long, short story. But either way it's Finished. Well, I need to Edit it about 600 times, but it's still a first draft. Finished. Don't kill my joy.*

It's been 2 years since I finished something. So I would like to party about it...but I'm sick. So I'm just going to work on another one. 

I've been having a lazy holiday break/in between jobs. But I got to get a few things done.  I made my first dress, and it's horrible, because it doesn't fit. But I finished that, too! It's pretty awesome, really. 

I will now have so much time outside of work to do awesome things, like, finish what I started, and get going on things I was too afraid to do, and growing some balls...

I'm definitely pumped. 

!Pusher. Of. Pens.!
