Before.

As with any new job, one is apt to feel nervous about the journey they're embarking on. I quit a job that paid well, but felt unstable and had me questioning what I was doing with my life, my degree. Granted, I have an English degree and digging in the dirt for a university/state run archaeological department isn't exactly utilizing my schooling but it's more academically geared than turning a profit for your boss.

So, that's where I'm at, that's what I'm doing. This will be an account of (hopefully) every day in a new job. The ins, the outs, the new skills learned, etc. And hopefully this change of pace will work out for the better and I'll find that something inside me that made me write before.

Oh yeah, ultimately that's my main reasoning for this. I used to write a lot. That's what I went to school to do (do you really need a degree to write?). When I was on hiatus from classes and working at the video store I wrote a bunch of stuff I'd forgotten and I just recently found it. So, I'm thinking to myself, what the hell is the difference? I have all the time in the world now. I don't have a schedule to keep, books to read, papers to write; all that bullshit getting in the way of me writing. So, I'm wondering if connecting to other people, seeing new things, and all around just changing my life will help me write.

Now, I know some people might say that writing this blog will be a cop out. I'll blame having to keep this up for not writing. I can't say I won't. I'll just say I'll do my best to not do that. I'm only human, right?
