Dread

[hells_half_acre]

So, I was going to do another rewatch tonight, but instead I spent the night getting pissed off at my contracting company and trying to decide what I'm going to do about the future.

Right now, I really want to quit this job at the end of March 2013 (when my current contract is finished.) The only problem with that is that last time I tried to get a different job, I was unsuccessful... and I can't afford to be unemployed again...especially not in Vancouver.

I've been offered a job in China, but I'm not going to take it for financial reasons and because I don't want to live in China. (You can't access LJ from there.) 

There's a possibility my oldest sister could get me a job in Toronto - which would mean moving back east.

I don't know. I can't decide where I want to be or what I want to do. 

I have tickets to VanCon2013 and the first draft of a novel that I hate more with each passing day.... for whatever those are worth.

Anyway...yeah, I'll resume rewatches tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be in a better mood.

ETA: I meant to flock this, but then I forgot, and now I might as well just leave it.

Could you telecommute the China job?

[hells-half-acre.livejournal.com]

No, and even if I could, it doesn't pay enough. It pays well for China, but not if you have Canadian debt and are living in a Canadian city.

So what's the problem with the novel?

[hells-half-acre.livejournal.com]

I can't figure out how to fix the problem with the lack of climax and satisfying resolution. I can't figure out what I'm trying to SAY. Plus, the more I think about it, the more I wonder if it's just unrealistic h/c fic.

What, did you stage a more exciting resolution earlier in the story? I know THAT feeling :D

Now I'm curious, is the story online?

[hells-half-acre.livejournal.com]

No, it's not. It's just on my computer, and on the harddrives of a few friends.

I don't really have an exciting resolution anywhere in the book...everyone just survives and goes home....it's dull. :P

It can't be as dull as Proust, throw me a chapter, I'm stuck in a small town in Alabama on a contract job with nothing better to do. :D

[hells-half-acre.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but if I throw you a chapter, I'll throw you one of the good ones. :P
