Since I have self-published my book “My Aumakua” I have realized that I am basically working two jobs.  I get up very early, grab the coffee, drive to work unlike Bob Newhart who walked, open up the place and then focus for the next ten to twelve hours, depending on the day, managing the branch.  I lock it all up, get in the car, put my cell phone into the console because distracted driving kills and I want to live, then battle the other lemmings to get home safe.  This is when my second job begins.  You see, I love to write.  I love to tell others what’s on my mind whether it gets read or not.  I like to tell stories about my day in this very blog.  My newest fiction work is in the “boy just met girl” stage.  That is to say, its in the beginning of the beginning stage.  This new one will not take the amount of time it took me to write “My Aumakua” I can assure you.  At this point I have daily word goals set for myself as well as a fantastic office I sink into when its time for me to put my thoughts on paper.  I even have a dry erase board where I write insults to myself to motivate me.  At the moment, this “second job” doesn’t exactly pay very well, but hey, it sure is fun.  I could do without the marketing and promotion part of it, but hey, every job has its less than enjoyable moments, right?  #justkeepswimming #myaumakua #myaumakuabyjasondolson #scrapingbottom
