500 Words: Day 1

I am a writer…who doesn’t really write. To remedy that, I’ve challenged myself to write 500 words every. single. day.

So here goes.

Over the last couple of weeks, Chad has gotten quite a bit of work. He even accidentally overbooked himself for this week—talk about a good problem to have!

Because of this, we now have money. Woo! Time to catch up on those ever-present (but someday to be eliminated terminator-style) debt bills. …Woo.

Also because of this, Chad no longer has time to film for our YouTube channel, which is no bueno, because he is the filmmaker in this duo! I do the writing, most of the social media and some photography, but he’s the bread and butter that puts together content for me to market. (If what I do can be called marketing.)

What’s ironic is that this comes after we relaunched Our Debt Free Journey, and committed to posting a new video every Friday at 5 PM.

WE’RE STILL GOING TO DO THIS. We just have no idea how.

Hopefully, things will calm down some next week (once Chad is no longer over-booked), and we can really sketch things out.

Because, for some crazy reason, we’re going to make a thing out of this YouTube…thing. We don’t know what that thing will be, but it will be SOMEthing!

Are we nuts? We moved to Tennessee in a demoed RV, and are building up an audience on YouTube by telling our life story. Are we deluded to think that people are even interested in us? Idk, but we’re excited to see where all of this goes!

270 words.

Right now, I’m sitting in a coffee shop (Lasater’s in Mount Juliet—check it out!!), writing this, watching YouTube videos, and messing around with social media. Trying to figure things out.

I have no idea what I’m doing.

Job prospects for me are still somewhere in the future. I would love something that utilizes my skills, and is some of what I like—or even love—to do. But if I have to, I’ll get a job just somewhere doing something. Because money.

Right now, Chad is making a good amount of money, so we’re not too worried about me not being employed. Once everything has settled into place again, however (i.e. we’re caught up on our bills and hustling on that debt snowball), it will be a good idea for me to take whatever I can get if I’m not already employed.

Sigh.

I hate that phrase. “Take whatever I can get.”

I KNOW that I have TONS of potential…I’m just not sure what to do with it. Also, confidence—don’t have much of it.

So that’s where I am right now. FUN.

In the meantime, I’ll just keep myself busy with Our Debt Free Journey, and figuring out this writing bizness. It’s sort of fun. Though I know pretty much no one will read this.

Sad face. Sort of. If someone actually did read this, then “embarrassed face.”

Lol.

503. Peace out!
