Don’t waste time. There is money to be made and advancement is within reach. A space at home to develop your ideas will help you increase your income and stabilize your financial situation. Invest in yourself and your talent.
As tired as I am, I can’t help but feel the motivation from my horoscope today, especially considering the thought I had last week about taking some university courses. And heck, what writer doesn’t need a space in his or her home to work? It’s like this was written for me.
I don’t usually put too much stock in horoscopes, but there are times like these when they really hit the target. My biggest problem now is choosing where to really focus my efforts. If I’m to take the courses, I still have all summer to myself to work on my novel. I’m still trying to decide if I should just self-publish without trying to find an agent/publisher or if I should brush up another project and give the whole self-publishing thing a go to see what is involved. Maybe some good, honest critique of my novel is what I really need before I make my final decision.
In the meantime, I’m psyched. I have a dream. I have a work-in-progress that I truly believe in. And now I have a cheap newspaper horoscope telling me I’m on the right track.
Can you believe it?

I don’t put much stock in the newspaper horoscope either, but when you think about it, they’re really just motivational statements, and even if it’s not “your” horoscope, you can still borrow what it says, if it motivates you. I say go for it.

I really thought it was going to be a blog about those “work from home, make millions poolside like me” ads. LOL sorry. I’m glad it’s your horoscope. You should absolutely send me your novel. 😀

Well you know you could have millions (of mosquitoes) puddleside like me AND (slave) work from home too, if you’d like. But I wouldn’t recommend it.
And yes, I will totally send you my novel. I’m over half-way through my edit! Workin’ every day. 🙂
