Lots of stuff has changed in the last 4 months: I have left my old job and have moved to a new company. I am getting paid more working as a corporate accountant for an insurer, but I felt more drained and lost ever since I got this new job. I have done a lot in health care, a lot in finance, but there is something so mechanical and dehumanizing with the insurance industry. I don't know what it is, but I think I can understand why Brad Pitt started a Fight Club Revolution now

I have been sorting through things about life and what I want to do versus what I want to achieve. Can I be happy working for less? I think I can be happy working as a small company accountant or even a non-profit again. Also, I have been thinking about the future and I think I might take the MTEL (Massachetts test for educator licensure), I am tempted to go into teaching as a sort of final exit strategy after business and health care. I already hold Masters degree and a Bachelors, so I can probably teach several variants of math.

Finally, I am thinking about my storywriting and how I want to go forward with such a long hiatus. I need to write something to rekindle my muse and my fire for the story. I have also been inspired over the last few months of snow influenced cabin fever reading of fantasy stories, especially the Nightrunner series and I am reading Cronin's Key right now (great story by the way for LGBT readers interested in deep plots and modern fantasy genre).

My belief is that I need to write something and it might take a while to get it all done, but this time, I am writing it all down and complete. There is no starting or stopping, I want to write a complete story to get my fiery imagination ignited.

PS: Final not, I am crossing my fingers and hoping that Iceman's Coming Out is not just a red herring for comic book sales. I have always been a huge fan of the fan fics between him and Pyro, so maybe, my hearts desire will come true and there is a steamy release.
