Another day, another chapter. · 3:35pm May 26th, 2018
Chapter two of The fortress of the four winds has just gone up. Heavily edited, or more specifically, re-written, this has taken absolutely ages. Oddly I'm quite enjoying doing this, albeit the time it's taking is probably longer than it took to write the story in the first place!
Anyway, today was a touch bitter-sweet. Due to my miserable financial crisis thanks to my now ex-employer, I've been forced to sell a rather valuable collection for absolute peanuts just so I can make ends meet. It's times like this that I truly wonder whether there really is any justice left in the world. Here I am, caring for what's left of my family, selling off what I've worked so hard to obtain over the years, and all the while the rats who were responsible for this have got away absolutely scot free. It puts me in mind of a phrase I heard some years ago, 'There's no justice, there's just us.' And boy, was that prophetic! Still, life goes on.
Toodles.

Ugh, sorry to hear about the job situation.

Well, all is not lost. I've been offered a job locally which I'm going to go and see about on Wednesday. The downside is that there's a hell of a lot of cost involved, courses, and It's something I don't really want to do. But the thing is, it's money, and I can't live on thin air alone. Still, it's a good way to lose weight and I could do with shedding a few pounds!
Or a few stone for that matter...
Anyway, one day I'll be writing a book about my story and you never know, it could be my ticket to fame and fortune. Next stop, J.K Rowling level mansions and a fleet of classic cars. Personally, I've always fancied an indoor lazy river. Oh, and a '57 chevy. You get the idea!

Fingers crossed for Monday. Dad always used to say 'when one door closes, another opens'. Personally I'd prefer it if they left the key in the thing, but that's just me!
Good luck
