On March 7, of this year I was let go from the company I had
been employed with for over twenty years.
At the time I thought it was a terrible injustice and was extremely
upset over the entire situation. I did
realize very soon after I had left that I seemed to be a much happier person
without the stress associated with aspects of working there.
At other times in my life, I had experienced something which
during the time you are going through it seems terrible. Only after time when things have changed and
worked out do you realize you are in a much better place than you would have
been in if the event which forced the change had not happened in the first
place.
This is what has happened in my life once more. I am not going to go into the details of what
caused me to be let go or the events which have transpired to bring about a
completely new, more profitable and totally new direction to my life. I will say that as of Monday June 17, I will
be starting eight to ten weeks of intensive training for this new
opportunity. It is not related to my
writing, but eventually will allow me to continue my writing (at a later date),
pay for professional editing, professional book covers and advertising for my
future books. I do have two books (the
sequels to my first two books) currently being edited and still planning on
releasing them later this year or the first part of next year. I do want them to be as professional as I can
possibly make them prior to releasing them.
So for the next few weeks there will be none of the
following:
My Daily Twitter Mentions to all the wonderful people I have
so faithfully mentioned six days a week.
No New Blog Posts
No Posting of links for my books.
I will still be here, occasionally checking e-mails if I
get the chance. For the most part I will
be in very intensive training which is planned to take 6 days a week. As to give this new opportunity the best I
have to offer I will devote all my energies to studying and preparing for this
new challenge. This as I have stated
will facilitate and pay for everything else I want to accomplish in the future
in regards to writing novels and pursuing a career as a novelist.
As with many things in life – It is one step back, to take
several steps forward. In this case what
will be a slight hibernation in blogging, writing, editing, and being a
novelist, will be a giant step forward in securing my financial future and
making all my other dreams come true.
Wish me luck. I will
be back in a few weeks.

Good luck Thomas! I can stand doing without you for a month and a half better than doing without you permanently.
