I’ve Got the Brains, You’ve Got the Looks…

By Secondhand Karl on February 1st, 2010

YOR Feb 2010

February 1. Shit, why did I agree to do TWELVE resolutions this year? What the fuck was I thinking?

Gonna make this short and sweet. Don’t expect that on a regular basis. I’ve got a lot in the air right now.

February: Financial

I resolve to start working again. Two stories per day for Famecrawler, one story per week for Uptake.

Yes, I have actual writing jobs. No, I haven’t acted like it for a long, long time. Since Lisa passed on LAST February, truth be told. I’m tired of being broke and bitching about it when I’m the one who has the power to fix the fucking problem. So I’m doing it.

I’m fortunate that I haven’t permanently screwed up those gigs. And that I get to work from home, especially right now with Mom in bed most of the time.

So that’s the deal. I begin working in earnest tomorrow.

Over and out.

    @*pixie*, Thanks, Pix. I haven’t made up my mind one way or the other about BlogHer. Still a long way off. You do provide me with incentive, though.

    That’s entirely awesome!! Honestly, I wasn’t expecting this one to surface until further down the line. Well done on biting off a bit one right now. :)

    @Kellee, I have a feeling that all 12 of the Resolutions will be a lot to chew on.

    Also, I would call this occupational. Because financial is a whole other set of worms. LOL, like paying down debt and all that silly shit.

    @Kellee, I’m keeping the categories simple. I can’t get to the debt part till I take care of making money. It’s all money.

    Dude. A lot of admiration for you right now. You made it through January with all it’s fucked-up-ness, and you’re still taking February head on.

    Fucking awesome. And I’m still inspired.

    And, I know it’s asking an awful lot, but PLEASE come to Blogher10. It was to meet awesome people like yourself, why I booked my tickets as soon as they became available.

    @Heather, Yes, you can be my bitch. So to speak. :) And that autocorrect thing has happened to me, too.
