One by one the days go by...

No job yet. Finished the map for my novel: a world called Urph. It's coming along well when, but I have to convince myself to write sometimes. I finished the book Lilith by George McDonald. With the right screenplay it could be made into a pretty good film.

Went for a short hike at Griffith Park today which showed me how out of shape I currently am, but it was a fun hiking and driving adventure. It could be worse, but the amount of time I spend alone is too much without a job. But in the mean time I'll just keep writing as I search.

And so I write...

One week back in LA. So far no job. As I'm searching for one I'm also revising and continuing my novel: The Seal. It's about a young boy who finds his way into another world from his bedroom. This world is called Urph. I'm nearing the 50,000 word mark and currently have 135 pages double spaced in 10 pt. font. When I get access to Final Draft I will also be revising my full length script: Our Finest Hour.

But mainly, I'm praying for a job by the end of my first month here.

Arriving in LA

About a week ago I arrived once again in Los Angeles. Currently I'm living in a house in Sherman Oaks with some other people. It's been a pretty good living situation so far. I've been searching for a job and a place to take my final biology course to finish my degree. In the mean time while I've been free I've been writing, especially working on my novel that has been in the works since high school which is now nearing 50,000 words.

But mostly I'll be working at trying to find a job soon so I can pay for rent and the last class I need to take. Since I'm an out of state student, it will unfortunately be quite a bit more expensive.
