I can imagine finding paying museum work is very difficult indeed, but I also know how museums are super amazing to work in, so I understand why you persevere and carry on!Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-77645990325798267242018-10-08T18:22:56.186-06:002018-10-08T18:22:56.186-06:00Thank you Janey! :) Thank you Janey! :) Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-9966864464933188372018-10-08T18:22:27.411-06:002018-10-08T18:22:27.411-06:00Thank you Jessica! <3Thank you Jessica! <3Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-1739187956155682522018-10-08T18:22:06.536-06:002018-10-08T18:22:06.536-06:00Thank you again Lily!

Though the sequel is indeed very fun to work on and I cannot wait to get back to it. Sadly even if I lived here at home forever I doubt I'll be paying off my loans for another few decades at the very least barring some miracle. Unfortunately I cannot remove doubt from either my journaling or my thoughts at present.Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-46194706138103020212018-10-08T18:17:39.761-06:002018-10-08T18:17:39.761-06:00Exactly!

I've gotten lucky with a graduate assistantship this year, but that goes away in May when I will back to volunteering since job prospects are ~bleak~. I love the thing I do and I need to take it at my own pace. <br /><br />On another note, from the tiny bits of information you have given us about your novels, I am beyond excited to read them. I don't much care how long you need to do it, I'll be ready. <br /><br />-ChaeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12620360729515006114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-10246014527045311042018-10-03T18:51:32.860-06:002018-10-03T18:51:32.860-06:00Okay, this outfit!

Of course you knew that!<br /><br />I'm sorry you've been feeling frustrated lately. I am very familiar with that feeling too.<br /><br />xoxo<br />-JaneyJaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179447682223205557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-14443780664410268752018-10-03T17:04:02.083-06:002018-10-03T17:04:02.083-06:00What an amazing look!

Finding a way to finish off the hat with what you had on hand was a great bit of improvisation, and it looks fabulous.<br />And those are some wise words indeed. Good luck with the manuscript and everything else!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827840216337511678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-72989957174423146912018-10-03T14:41:53.870-06:002018-10-03T14:41:53.870-06:00What a lovely surprise, I wasn't expecting tha...What a lovely surprise, I wasn't expecting that! Truly, the attention you give to your sewing, writing, blog and channel is so inspiring. <br /><br />As for your update - “Being unable to progress with the manuscript when it is so close to being "done" makes me so endlessly frustrated”. Doesn't it also offer some pleasure? I love that feeling of having something, away from professional and social engagements, that I can't wait to get back to. <br /><br />I also love what you said in your last paragraph. Look at it with the doubt taken out (sorry, language teacher showing):<br /><br />This is not time wasted. This is precious time. Time with your parents, while you pay off your student loans and get that novel ready to publish. Time spent learning; healing too. Time spent working on something you love is not time wasted… A lesson, apparently, you are learning.<br /> <br />~ LilyLihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757643862612639023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-82732023098600097142018-10-02T06:28:48.472-06:002018-10-02T06:28:48.472-06:00This look with all the red is so lovely.

And the shoes are just amazing!
