the good news & the bad news

[misslucyjane]

We'll start with the bad news:
* No word from the copywriting gig or the cover-design gig. Ah well.
* I continue being sick off and on, mostly on. It's exhausting, y'all.

Then there's the good news:
* Fidele is in the quarterfinals for the Coverfly/Screencraft contest.
* This morning I interviewed to be a blog writer for software that I use for plotting, Plottr. I used some of my old GYWO articles as writing samples, which the interviewer liked. Basically, I have every reason to believe the job is mine. I'll know for sure next week. (One of their employees, the leader of their education arm, followed me on LinkedIn earlier this week. That feels like a good omen.)
* I signed up with a content-producing firm just before the holidays. The orders were pretty dead until yesterday, so now that I'm starting to feel energetic and (slightly) less out of it, I can get some work done.

Overall I'm feeling good about how this is shaping up.
