The Sounds of Silence
It's been quiet here.
A little too quiet. I'm starting to accept that the age of online journaling is a thing of the past, or will be soon. Then I ask myself: am I enough in love with it to be a champion for its continued use? I don't know.
Since I got back after my dad's memorial (which was wonderful - he would've approved), I've been catching up on life and playing Dragon Age: Inquisition (I just got all the dlc, spent more on that than on the game itself which was SO worth it). Question of the day: Have I been too engrossed in it? I saw a pile of eucalyptus bark beneath a tree today and thought "AHA! DEATHROOT! I should stop and harvest it."
Tomorrow I have an all-day workshop for Society for Children's Book Writers & Editors, which I hope will be as good as the last one I attended. Otherwise, I've been checking in on my mother-in-law every day and doing the usual expected & unexpected shit.
Hope all of you are well. Talk to me.

Thank you, there are more out there and I've recently retooled my cover letter which makes me feel braver in terms of putting myself out there. I'm even applying for a few academic jobs that seem like a good fit.

I think you'd do well in academia. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks, in college, I thought that was where I was going to end up. Now as a librarian, I know I could go a lot of different ways. I'm applying to public libraries, schools and two colleges. The one I hope I get a chance on is with a woman's college library that has a focus on Classics. It combines a lot of loves and its in the area I grew up, so I'm stretching on it.
