Good News!

It hasn't been a whole year since I last posted. It's only been 7 months and some change. Oh happy day!

Some of you keen, savvy readers may have wondered what the last post, the crossroads was about. Some of you may believe that is has to do with something personal, decisions I need to make in my life... well duh.

So what was it about and what path did I choose? The answer: I haven't yet. I'm still at that crossroad and I have a feeling that standing here too long is rather like staring at a word for too long--it loses all its meaning and goes blurry. Since the last post I've had an almost infinite amount of possibilities present themselves to me. I hate to admit it, but I'm not sure I like that the world has infinite possibilities. What happened to the good ole days when a woman's options were limited? (A joke people haha.)

Okay so the crossroads I was/am at is this: I was laid off in January. This was a good thing. I wasn't happy in that job and realized that a corporate setting isn't good for my inner Chi. :-P

So being jobless in the worst state for joblessness in the union--Michigan, is a tough place to be. What did I decide to do about it? Why I decided to travel the country. I've been to the west coast three times, been to Texas, Ohio, Oklahoma twice and am now back in Michigan. Let's not even talk about how many airports I've been to in the last six months.

I've found that travel suites me very well, but it'd be even better if I had my own space at these places--so the conclusion? I'm going to finish writing my damn books, sell them for exorbitant prices and travel the world in style.

Ahh but what does that entail? A helleva lotta work is what.

Update on the book(s): Book 1 is being completely rewritten. I've scrapped the first version (while enjoyable I'm a different writer now and rewriting proved impossible.) So far I am thirty two pages deep and am looking forward to wading through the swamp that is my brain and finding more pages.

I've also started to twitter. @sandratuttle for all of those tweeple who tweet out there. Find me!

I've been in steady communication with my CoD (Cheerleader of Doom, BFF and muse extraordinaire) and this has helped me with my writing and brainstorming greatly.

But what about food? Bills? What about money? Ahh yes, the sensible, rational people out there want to know what I'm doing in "real life" to survive. Well I'm on unemployment and am looking at several options. Some include jobs, but not jobs that make any money. I'm looking at Americorps and the Peace Corps. Others involve me going back to school. I'm currently looking at Library Science or Educational Technology, but honestly, that could change at any moment.

So that's the update on me.

While you wait for my next edge of your seat blog you can watch this great dance with a kick ass song.
