I did find a great job in May, 2017. It's going very well. I really like what I do and there isn't much pressure so that is a good thing. I can ready and write a little at my job so that is great too. My job as a Credit Manager can seem overwhelming because there is always something to do and always updates needed to credit applications or resale certificates. I have limited resources in my department and I am the only collector so it's not typical for a Credit Manager to do everything in addition to reports. Sometimes it seems monotonous as well. I am glad to be at a company that appreciates their employees and does so much for them. Oh yea, and to have a job again!
I have two short stories and an essay I'm working on. The essay is for a competition that needs to be submitted by March 1st. One of the short stories was a request by my daughter this morning, "my assignment for the day". Her topic was a woman who lives in the woods by herself and a monster comes out of the water to kill her. I said: "monster?" So she said, "OK, murderer, and the girl is in a wheelchair." "Wheelchair? How the heck does she get wood and grow food and hunt? Can she go into town to get wood and food once a month at least?" "Yes, that's fine --- and she is a musician!" "Uhm, OK, anything else? You're not making this easy." "It's not suppose to be easy. It has to be different." "Well, it's certainly different." The other story I'm writing was something I had seen on a website today which touched a little on character descriptions. I was reading about character descriptions and how important it is to not give too much. Let some detail to the imagination. Sometimes what you imagine is more than what someone thinks they want you to see. You never really see what the writer wants you to see anyway. So this topic was more about creating frightening characters so i thought I would give it a try. No time limit on this one but its a short story so it shouldn't take too long.
