Better Beginning
Another week has come and gone and I’m still just sitting here working towards a better future for myself. I’ve continued my normal routine of applying to jobs, promoting myself on social media, and working on my own projects. It does sometimes feel like I’m on a hamster wheel going round and round but I know that if I keep pushing forward things will get better.
Better Pay
The job market is not what I was expecting. Every day I hit up the job boards and apply to everything I see that might fit. So many postings with so little information, and what I get directly from recruiters with worse. Some emails don’t even have a job description, just a title. I’m almost to the point of applying to nearby retail establishments. But before I do that, I’m going to buckle down and push even harder to find work in my field.
Better Brilliance
Trying to stand out on social media is quite a task. As much as the influencer lifestyle appeals to me I am certain I just don’t have the marketing skills to make it happen for myself. I’m too old and set in my ways, and feeling much too forlorn for my own good. Doesn’t matter though because I’m still pushing forward and doing my best to promote myself. The weekly giveaway on Twitter is still going strong and I’m continuing my push to be more active on all platforms.
Better Being
And as always I’m working on my own projects. This past week I’ve made great progress on a game idea. It’s still so very early on, but everything I do pushes the game closer to the goal. As daunting as the idea of building a game solo is, it just feels good to find new and better ways to make things happen. It feels like a true accomplishment when I get done with a new asset or animation.
Never Stop Bettering
It doesn’t look like much when it’s written down but I really do feel like the last week was a good one. I pushed past some roadblocks and found better approaches to the problems I face. This week will be even better than the last, too. Every week will be better than the last as long as I keep trying and improve upon the foundations I’ve built for myself.
