Gooooood afterrrrnooooon!

Even though the weather outside is appalling, windy and wet I'm not feeling particularly down, a tad anxious still, that comes in waves. Some huge breakers, some a mere ripple, but I digress. I have made the decision to write full time as a job rather than a hobby and set myself up as a self-employed writer and poet.

I reasoned that I need something more to fill my days, getting a regular job and interacting with people because I have to, rather because I want to would not help my anxiety issues so now I can be gainfully employed at my computer to producing poems and tales.

I can write when I want and not have the pressure of a boss standing behind me. The only pressure is any that I put on myself and I'll try to keep that down to a dull roar.

I should hear next week whether my submissions to the publisher have been accepted. If they have, whey hey! If not I'll revisit my work and try to improve it so that it will be more acceptable the next time I submit it.

To that end I will probably need an editor so I've set up a Crowdfunder to raise some money towards paying for one and getting "West goes West." published. Editors aren't cheap but needs must when the devil drives.

My decision to go all in as a writer has helped my mental health as well, I now have a project I can focus on and instead of looking at the negative I can now look to being positive about my enterprise.

I'll be back to let you know what the publisher's decision is but rest assured that whatever they decide I will keep on keeping on until I become a published poet, author or both.

Wish me luck!

Peace and love.
