writer

Well, I finallt got my act together and submitted my first writing to my writers group. It wasn;t what I had wanted to submit because I was having troubles with what I was working on.

If I have to leave this area, I am going to be bummed out. I really enjoy this group and the people in it. Now I had to go fuck it all up and be a deadbeat.

I think if we can live with my bro-in-law for a year or so and I get a decent job, we will be able to save up enough of a nestegg to get back to MN. That way we will have the support system of friends and family. My whole family wants me back there. It has been just over 9 years since I have lived there.

I have been all over the world and nothing compares to Northern Minnesota to me. Unless, of course, I could move to Australia or Hong Kong...two of my favorites. I am hoping to be able to get back to MN in spring of 2007. So that gives me roughly 18 months to make this a reality. Not sure that we will be staying at my bro-in-laws that whole time....would be nice for the saving of money.

I had found a pretty sweet moving company that will move my stuff for $1500-1800. That includes gas and tolls. That was a quote that I recieved about 4 months back when gas was insane and in the $3 range. So, could be slightly cheaper if gas stays low. But 18 months is a long time.

Yes, I will probably be scratching the idea to move to wonderful Ely right away. Figured it won't be a great idea to move from one isolated situation to another. I have already failed as a man and husband. I need to get this shitty life back on track. I wouldn't wish this upon anybody.
