Chapter 13 - What Now?

Don't know what to do.

The future is so uncertain, so difficult to predict. I may as well quit trying to figure out my destination. As I mentioned in the previous chapter, I'm trying to figure out my next step. In the past couple of weeks my writing has really taken off and I couldn't be happier. I've been on WritersCafe since October of 2007 and, honestly, my writing has never been viewed more than in the past few weeks. I cannot thank everyone who has read and reviewed my writing enough! But now I feel as though there is more pressure. I'm more of a quality instead of quantity writer, but I've decided on a new schedule: every Friday/Saturday I'll put up a new piece of writing. This seems to be a schedule that works for me, one piece of writing a week. Some weeks I may have to skip depending on how busy I am in general, but I think that it'll work out okay. So, for now, that's my next step.

I think, oddly enough, my depression is fading. Before I was depressed I was slightly bipolar, which is not good, but I think I've transitioned back to that. In my opinion it's a bit more manageable, because you do have moments where you're not totally overcome by sadness, but this could just be a passing thing. Who knows. I'm almost afraid to not be depressed/bipolar though, will it affect my writing? I'm afraid to change. What now?
