365 days of 40, #259-260

So yesterday was a geeky girl's dream. Not only did we get there early enough to see Nathan Fillion (and have really awesome seats), I saw Adam Baldwin and Sir Patrick Stewart.  I pretty much parked myself in the main ballroom and I managed to sir in the front row and saw Sci Fi icon after Sci Fi icon.  Extremely amazing day.

I also got to see old friends who I hadn't seen for ever and meet some new people as well.  I pimped Confessions and worked towards following my dream.

While there, I met an awesome author, Michaelbrent Collings, who was willing to spend some time talking to me.  I told him that I was on an emotional roller coaster, fluctuating between feeling like I could do it and being on top of the World to feeling like I was never going to make it and crashing to the depths of despair.  He reassured me that I was normal and if I wasn't feeling that way, I wasn't doing it right.  He even gave me one of his books, which I'm looking forward to reading.

The hardest part for me is knowing that I start a new job tomorrow, which means for the foreseeable future, I'm going to have 2 jobs.  I have decided to make the most of the limited time that I'm going to have and force myself to be the most productive writer I've ever been.  I'm only going to have 4 hours a day to work on things so I need to make it happen.

The game plan is on motion, it's not time to lose momentum now.
