What a week.
Fucked up my knee, found out I owe over a thousand dollars in taxes, had a three day argument with my parents, and asked for time off which I am only just realizing that I cannot afford.
I'm hoping that my surplus of horrible luck this week will mean a surplus in good luck next week. I'm waiting to hear back from a publisher (well ... a website) about whether they want to buy one of my pieces of flash fiction, and a local paper/website is looking for new staff writers. In order to get in, you need to pitch a regular feature for the website. I think I might have a decent idea, but I'm giving myself until Tuesday to refine it and explore the idea sufficiently myself before I email it in. Also, I mentioned an idea for an article to a writer I know. He indicated to me that I should write the article, and if it's a decent job he can do his best to get it published in a local paper or magazine.
So despite the shit week, I'm still a little hopeful.
