Rainy Day Blues.
February 2, 2012
Morning! I went to bed on a high last night, but woke up not feeling so hot. Not sick, not even tired, I just feel unlike my normal, dynamic self. Aside from the fact that I sweated my hair out before I left my home today, and aside from the fact that it's kinda blue-gray out, I'm just okay. I'm rockin a red sweater, so that helps a little. But at 10:25 I haven't gotten it together yet.
Anyway, I was excited because I made some decisions. In 2012 I will release four more books, beginning next month, with Timeless Thoughts & Words of Wisdom From the Mind of Tonya D. Floyd. This was to be a 3-volume set, but I condensed it to just two--It's All Relative, and I'm Just Sayin,.... The first focuses on all that is family, and maybe some friend stuff; the second is just me being me. All kinds of ridiculousness I wouldn't or couldn't put on FB or get somebody else to sign off on will be in there. Uncensored, unencumbered, and totally my own, not to be confused with filth though. I just let it all go because I'm the publisher; it's TDF approved. Then I will release Nothing New Under the Sun, the sequel. I swear I can't find the right title, but know that I'm working on it exclusively right now. Then in June I will finish off my 12-month, 5-book marathon with the re-release of From Where I Stand, It Is What It Is--where it all began, including new poems I will add to the original 50, and of course with a new cover design. I'm taking my stuff back!
Another decision I made was to continue seeking the most beneficial job offer for me, while enjoying the fact that I live 5 minutes from work, work 10 minutes from the babysitter, and eat lunch where I live more often than not. I won't push it cause I'll just give back my raise money in commuting/meal costs. And finally, I decided that the perfect job only exists in my head, in my books, and under my own reign. Nobody sees my talent like me, can reward me like me, or can encourage me to go as far as my abilities will take me like my team--you know who you are. I have a great thing going already--now to make it pay off in a huge way.
Yeah, I know I go through a lot in a week, thinking, arguing with myself, and fighting the power, but I'm an artist. We're fiery that way. At least I got to the bottom line. I have a career that I love and a supplemental income in the federal government. When the time comes, I'll only be working the one. What more can I ask for? I'm all right.

That's it; I'm taking my stuff back.
