It's time that I got moving on. (Day 41)

Day four of the 100mg's of lamictal.

On the 21st of this month I go back to the doctor and go on to the next step from there. I have no idea whats in store, or what to expect.

Today I worked a little bit on the follow up to Shootin' At a Mound of Dirt (please, please, please share the link with people) although I have no clue on where to submit it to when it's done, or if anyone will ever care.

You ever put so much into something and try to make it work? All my life I've always felt like the underdog, and even more so these days. I just want for once to be the one that comes out on top of it all. We all need a small victory here and there to get by, and right now I really could use that--if only in the smallest of capacities.

Right now I'm in a toss and tumble about shutting down Days Gone By and Piss and Vinegar. To be truthful I really, really enjoy both of them for what they are. I enjoy doing them and it's help me work on becoming a bit more disciplined and mature in certain respects, which are two areas I desperately need to improve in. But I don't know...I feel like this falls on deaf ears, every word and every sentence, paragraph or poorly constructed thought.

I stand alone as far as being a "writer". I don't really know anyone in the field, I have no idea where to go, or what my next step should be. It was nice to see the minute success of Shootin', but the thing is...unless I discover the proper channels, and discover them soon, this hole writing venture will come to a fast end.

If anyones reading this, which I highly doubt, and you have any idea on where I should go, someone to talk to about publishing, etc...please leave a comment. This is really the time to get involved. Otherwise I just have no clue what to do, and I'm sitting dead in the water.

Until tomorrow.

Maybe look to see what publishing companies some of the writers you admire or see yourself emulating work with and send stuff to them? Apart from that i don't know anything about the industry. Maybe try and get stuff published in magazines or newspapers? There aren't that many 23 year old published writers out there so i wouldn't get yourself down about under achieving.
