School: An Unnecessary Feat?

I cannot begin to describe how difficult—and by "difficult" I mean un-motivating—it has been for me to attempt to continue on with my school work. After learning I don't necessarily need a degree, not to be a freelance editor at least, I keep asking myself: Why am I still working to complete my classes?

This doesn't mean I'm giving up. The end is in sight. And from there I will begin my online real estate course, with an additional writing, editing, and/or communications class. After all, communications is an incredibly special and important supplement to the work I'm doing and want to do, in more ways than I can even fully explain, myself.

Harder yet, is just how badly I want to focus on trying to get editing clients, get an editor myself for my soon-to-be published novel, Shattered Lives. If the name sounds familiar, it should—it's only the book I've been working on and talking about for the last few years. I'm also trying to write it's sequel, Fractured Hearts, along with a new potential-series, although it is currently just a single novel (whose official name/title has yet to be determined). I keep going back and forth between "Brigid Karena", "Karena Springs", or something else altogether. So there's that. Meanwhile I'm also in the works of creating my first presentation video (in what I hope will be a recurring webseries).

I'm powering through, but believe me, I am counting down the days I'm done with these classes!
