YIKES!

Unless something happens real soon, I've made a gigantic blunder! 

I accepted a low-paying, part time, customer service gig recently, figuring I could always write and continue to earn the "big bucks" during the balance of my waking hours. As it turns out, unless I'm actively looking for writing projects all the time, I'm missing out, every day, on many of the ones I'd get-- including ones I'm invited to bid on--because I'm not bidding on them right away.

So instead of making additional money--which was the whole idea--I'm making less--a whole lot less!!!  This cannot continue, so I may have to bail on the new gig. 

As a copywriter, I can make in 45 minutes what it takes me six hours to earn working the new gig, so the choice of which to forego isn't even close.  But because I committed to the gig,  I'm monitoring the situation for a few more days to see if I get enough writing work for this to make sense. If not... ARGHHH!  I'll have to bail. And I'm sad about it because I'm really enjoying the new gig. A lot! I didn't think I would, particularly, but I do. I really don't want to bail but it looks as though it may be necessary...

Live and learn.  God really, really, really must want me to stick with writing! I'm sure He'd make this all work to my advantage if He were in accord with it.  Unless the new gig leads me miraculously to a new client who wants me to produce copy for them, I don't see this avenue bringing me what I need to keep my head above water, and that's certainly not a good thing! My part of the mortgage is due on Tuesday and I don't have it, let alone the money for health insurance that I'll need in a week or two...  Grrrr...  This was a BIG mistake, but I'm not wanting to 'fess up and bail out. Sadly, I may have to...

What a fiasco!

Keep me in your prayers. I need 'em!  Thank you!
