This is the day of new beginnings...

Well, I've gone and done it. I accepted a new job working with my son. Tomorrow I turn in my resignation at my current job. I was looking but not really looking and this just sort of fell into my lap. I praise God for it and look forward to doing something different. I am also taking this as a sign to get some writing done. In addition, I signed up for the November Novel Writing session. It's not a contest. Just a challenge to write a complete novel in 30 days. There are page and word count limits and as long as you meet them at the end, you get a certificate I think. Anyway you will also have a complete novel to then, rewrite, send out or do something with. I hope to finish the challenge. I also hope that this job change will help me to have a new perspective on my life. Being a caregiving and working full time is not fun. I'm also reading a couple of writing books and 2 novels. One by Terri Blackstock and one by Nicholas Sparks. I always seem to want to read more when I should be writing. So today I'm trying to get in gear for Sunday November 1st. I have an idea of the story I want to write and I just keep turning ideas around in my head so that I will have what it takes to just get it all down on paper. So I'm marking this day Wednesday, October 28th as a milestone. We'll see where I am on Saturday November 28th, a month from now.
