Smart Kitty

Marcia Simmons, in internet form

I quit my job and didn't get another one. My last day is August 8. I'm going to use my time to be creative and write. Sometimes I will try to get paid for it. We'll see how that goes. I have some money saved. I'll continue to work on some projects for FM (the company employing me until August 8,)and I'll probably do some freelance/consulting things, too. I'm trying to find the mix between being a responsible adult who doesn't get evicted and allowing myself the freedom to create without needing to know the results will have a home or get me a check. I am prepared in case I fail, but I am also prepared in case I succeed.

I don't know how long I'll be able to keep it up. I hope long enough to produce things I am proud of. I hope long enough to see something happen with those things I am proud of. The main thing that motivated me to make this decision was that I had never failed at anything. So here's to something I care enough about to risk failure.

Love,
Marcia

    You are brave, and I admire you.

    (I accidentally said that as Chris the first time.)

    What you are undertaking requires courage, and I admire that. You can do this! And remember, give me a call if you encounter any ninjas...
