I'm manic something...
But yeah, I alternate periods of intense activity with periods of going, "Gosh, my bed looks nice and soft. I think I'll go hang out there for a while."
But I'm no longer in any way sad when I'm being all lazy. I'm just, ya know, lazy. And when I'm on, I am so on. Like electricity running through me and refusing to let me go until I collapse.
That doesn't really bode well for the whole 'getting a steady job' thing. I don't do steady. (though oddly, I can do routine, which isn't at all the same thing to me)
Like I know.
Anyway, today I need to take the car in to see if we can afford to fix it. If we cannot, then I will be carless. Which will be a bit sad, but I'll survive.
The job thing, though. That's tough. I do need to get one, so that I'll have actual money. But. I'm not good at the job thing, probably largely because I'm not motivated but also because, as I mentioned before, I'm not good at steady.
Which is why I'm thinking of trying to maybe write an actual romance novel. Because. I can write better than some people who are making money. And the romance novel business is very brisk. 55% of all books sold last year (in America) were romances.
I'd need to work through my plot issues (ie never having one). And my length issues (ie I can't write long things).
So, I may join the Romance Writers of America. See what I can do. Of course, even if this pans through it will take quite a bit of time, so I still need a job.
*sigh*
