It's tax season. All of those various forms are coming in the mail. I finished college last year. I worked three different jobs (One of those jobs hasn't sent me a form yet, and it's actually holding me back from filing). However, I did get one form that felt good to see.
It was a form of miscellaneous income from last year. I made $12.66 from my books in 2012, and though it isn't much (the domain name costs about as much for the year), it gives me something I've been looking for: validation. Anybody can write a book, but it's something special when you earn a royalty doing it.
I've been slacking in the writing department recently. I'm still going through unsorted material from NaNoWriMo. A big chunk of it is a Karaoke contest that may either be shortened or removed completely. I'll have to figure out some more back or side stories to link events together. This is just the fun of being a writer.
There's also fun to being a reader. Reading is something I want to do more of in 2013. In fact, I recently received a countdown timer bookmark, and I've been using it to read at least 15 minutes a day. It really gets the creative juices flowing.
I'll try to be on a more consistent schedule with the blog, but my current job is a tricky thing. I'll shoot for once a week for now.
Happy Reading!
