So if you get bad news about a writing position on the feast of an Evangelist, what does that mean for your future?

The newspaper informed me today that they are taking back the ten extra hours per week that they had given me, so I'm back at twenty per week from the thirty I was at. That's going to tighten finances more than I would like it to, but I really can't do anything about. "Budget issues" and "new reporter" were mumbled at me as reasons.

I am upset at the loss of income, but not at having to spend less time at the paper. I now work from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., which gives me time to do things like practice and oh! yes, look for a different position.

Although the work was hardly ideal, I did enjoy the convenience of being done every day no later than 1, which freed me to teach in the evenings. I don't know if I'll be able to find another position quite so accomodating.

In other writing news, I finally got my latest piece into Mind Sprocket, and we're hopeful that an update is soon forthcoming. Anchorite did an excellent illustration to accompany it, and I'm most eager to see what everything looks like when put together.

I haven't been writing as much as I was wont to, and I miss it. That will have to be remedied.
