Today was the last day of my Amazon contract.

It was a decent job, but that gravy train is now over. I have sent out my resumes and lined up interviews as they gave me some warning. And the manager is pimping my resume to other departments.

I have already started my unemployment claim.

I've decided that I am going to really take advantage of my time off this time and try to live the freelance writer life.

I have a couple of assignments lined up. My goal is to finish Dylan and the Dream Pirates by the end of the month. I am going to split my days between those assignments and novel writing.

I had to do a quick line edit to remove 200 words from a sale before they go to print tomorrow.

When I get back, I have another requested rewrite for an essay/review.

Maybe you should take a writer's retreat for a few days while you are between gigs. Go someplace without anyone you know around. Hit the coffee shops for electricity. Maybe drive out to the mountains or something. Leavenworth is nice.

The life of a freelance writer is a scary one.

It is.

It will keep you up at night.
