One of the writing sites I follow had an essay contest asking what my word for the year was. The essay also needed to explain why I chose that word, and all of this needed to be done in 500 words or less.

Like I’m able to keep things that short very easily 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 (my emoji version of ROFL) I did write the essay and stopped it at about 450 words, but I could have gone so much longer.

The word I chose was focus. I’ve been scattered since I lost my job. I’ve been learning programming, and looking at different sales funnels and looking at finishing my book (finally!) and thinking about buying a Cricut and a press to start selling t-shirts and cups on Etsy, and possibly at the ComiCon in town in August.

I need to buckle down and actually settle on something. I did when I started thinking about what word I wanted for this year. I’ve spent the day narrowing it down, and I have a very good idea where to start. I may end up busier than ever for a bit, but it has to be better than putting in 3 applications a day and hearing nothing back. I love the sound of crickets, but it’s frustrating when it’s crickets in response to my emails.

Once I start where I need to, I will either go on Guru or Textbroker and do some random writing to get money in while I’m getting the other process set up. I will eventually be writing emails for travel companies to send out to their customers or address lists to show why we need to get away from it all. It’s been a heck of a two years, and doesn’t look like it’s getting better any time soon. We all need a vacation.
