July 2020 has been a month of craziness and nerves.
- Pandemic overload? Check.
- Screwed up sleep and work schedules? Check, and check.
- Multiple instances of solidifying the knowledge that working from home is my dream? Check.
- Realizing that you can attain this dream? Gulp. Check.
- Pulling the trigger and giving notice to the day job of nineteen years? Gulp. HolyshizznitdidIdothat? CHECK.
Yep, I did. I gave my notice at the beginning of the month, and have been wrapping up the mountain of details that accompanies such an event ever since. Oh, man, are there a lot of loose ends when you wear as many hats as I do!
It’s been quite a run over the past almost two decades. I’ve met several great people and learned a lot. I’ve also shared much of that knowledge with others in widely diverse fields and walks of life. I’m good with that. Grateful, even. If it’s helped one person make sense of something, or move forward in their chosen life, I’ve given back as intended.
Now it’s time to take the next steps in my adventure as an editor and writer. I look forward to seeing what lies between the pages of the next chapters, and the marvelous new worlds, characters, and people who await me.
