Career Choices and Uruguay

So...most important thing we have learned from this title? I apparently know how to spell Uruguay now. Its pretty easy. You start with a 'U' and then as you sound it out, just put a 'u' between everything... well until you get tired of the 'u' and then you hurry and finish it before the 'u's complain. I bet you did not think I could put so many 'u's in one sentence now didja? ha! Never underestimate the genius of the Kiki! (Ahhh see that? Another misspelling gone right!)
All kidding aside though, I have some serious soul searching to do with y'all today. I am now sitting at one hundred and twelve page impressions. The first twenty-five earned me one penny. And so I know you are all thinking I am up to a whopping four pennies now! Sadly my friends, I am still at one.... blasted.... penny. This getting rich quick thing is just silly. What were you all thinking to talk me into this!
And yesterday, upon cleaning up some of my house, I found fifty cents. I am sad to say my cleaning business is booming compared to my writing career. Which makes things pretty tough. I mean, my brother is already asking for handouts from my lucrative writing career and I made fifty times more in my cleaning career. So now, what does one do? Your comment challenge for today is to tell me what you think, writing which has been my life long dream, or cleaning, which I am apparently more successful in.
Dear Mr. Uruguay, I see you are checking on my site. I see that either you have visited four times or you have invited three friends. I must know who you are. The mystery is killing me! WHO ARE YOU MR. URUGUAY?!
And lastly, an update on the book. The outline is coming along nicely. My main characters and my villains are all taking shape and it's exciting to see. Also, I have a friend who enjoys making layouts of cities so he and I are currently collaborating to create the layout of the land as well as the different cities you will be seeing in the novel(s). So maybe, if you all behave I will post one when it's finished so you can see.
I had some questions on what my book is about so let me just tell you; it's a fantasy novel about different races of creatures overcoming prejudice and culture barriers to stop a big bad evil dude from taking over the world... I know, sounds familiar. Maybe I will give you another teaser later!


Dont forget! Let me know which you vote for, writing or cleaning!

  3. How about occasional cleaning with lots of writing in between? The best of both worlds!

  4. I vote for writing, because it is like art, you do it because you love it and you figure out how to feed yourself regardless. The fact that you are satisfied by inching towards the lifelong dream of writing in itself is fulfillment...is it not? This though, I need to convince myself of and either devote more time to art or go off to grad school to study it more...something. Love you Kels :)

  6. Definately writing! Your cleaning doesn't bring a smile to my face or a tear to my eye. Love you!

  7. I might be a little slow on the post compared to when it was done (it is the 29th here!!!), I would take writing over cleaning any day... but most of the writing I do is either RP or course work...
