Knee Deep in a River

Life is going at the moment as I keep being productive with things I truly didn't expect. sharp_teeth keeps giving me ideas and I've never written horror before and when I do write horror, it tends towards kind of Poe and Hawthorne inspired type. Also I'm trying to follow newredshoes's example and not hide away my writing as I'm proud of it and seem to be doing more of it. The first was for a prompt from ashen_key and is 3:10 to Yuma moviever, the second one is a Supernatural one but no spoilers for anything.

In terms of job things, yesterday I got emails from two places saying the positions were filled. Oddly it didn't really hurt as with jobs I'm glad to hear something from anyone. I'm currently planning some talks with some of my parents' friends and possible mentors over the Thanksgiving break and I have another blog post I want to write up at some point.I've also fallen behind in my book reviews on Library Thing and here as I've been reading and rereading some wonderful things lately.

Work is getting busy as the middle of the semester hits and students are realizing they need sources. I do love helping people research, it just makes me happy.

I've also had the feeling of this Halloween/Samhain being a real turning point in a way I can't quite put my finger on yet. A lot of this is due to the incredible tarot reading that neenie did for me but just how I feel. I feel confident enough to put my writing out there for strangers at the same time as I'm putting myself out there for work.
