(Cue up Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here”…)
Okay, while I’m taking it out of context a bit, I have been stuck in a bit of a loop mentally and emotionally and just trying to figure out a plan for the next few months, and not coming up with very much.
But at the same time, while it feels like I’m not accomplishing very much or being very upward-productive, I have been completing a few things on my to-do list, and backburning some other things. I’m exploring options like FlexJobs (anybody have any experience with them?) to bring in more income.
It does feel a little stuck-in-place, though, as a lot of my progress has been internal, and not readily visible or quantifiable.
I’m getting there, or so I hope, but it’s a very emotional and confusing time, amidst trying to do my small part in the fight against fascism/authoritarianism taking over the United States.
I’ve still managed to contribute to the Horror Tree site when I can. If you want some fictional horror/spec fic to retreat into, check out my interviews and book reviews over there:

I’d love to know what you all are doing to stay safe, and ways you all are fighting the good fight. Share in the comments below…
Until next time…

Good to know you can be more creative and look at flex jobs or other ways to bring in the $$. For myself, I use 5 Calls almost every day to agitate with my representatives. I post on Facebook to call on personal acquaintances to resist. And there’s a regular Saturday protest I attend and wave signs. Little things that will add up to something big.

I hope things get better and those feelings of being stuck drift away. I know what you mean about planning, I am currently trying to plan the next 16 months because everything just keep rising and I need to get a handle on it.
don’t forget, we don’t always realise what we have actually managed to get done and can see it as being unproductive when actually we’ve been doing so much more than we realised.
