Dear Dad,

I need a job; I know that. But, I'm picky in the job I want (even though I know I shouldn't be ...). I think it's okay to have some places I don't want to work at, but I really need to be doing something to make money. I feel like such a burden to you guys..

It's not even a case of 'get a job or be a full-time writer/become an author' because I've tons of time to work on that- being a writer and finishing and promoting my story and I haven't! Every time I'm like 'I need a job', I'm like 'but I want to be an author and how do I tell my parents that'.

I know that being an author isn't easy and that it takes a long time (sometimes) to be able to make money off of your work (and longer to make a living off of it), but I'l still like to try. But I also need to be making money asap (also get a full-time job) so I can stop feeling pressured and anxious about not having a job or money and being twenty and still living at home and then having to pay board when I twenty-one in June..

Right now, I'm feeling determined to go around downtown tomorrow with my resumes and what places are hiring, but I might end up voting out of that and just going for a walk by the river or just walking around downtown and then coming home.. Man, I feel pathetic and don't want to do that (walk around and come home), so I'm going to try not to. I guess I feel for still living at home and being an unemployed butt. Ehh, there is no 'I guess', it's more of 'this is how it is'.

Gaah.. I hope you never get this letter... it's everywhere and I'm sure that all my worries are in my head.. I might get rid of this one, but for now, it can go in the box with the others.
