Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside-down and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there... You know what, all the shit I've been through since the 4th of July, well that's going into my memoir as a career low point, so you can read about it there instead. Hopefully by the time I write that, all these problems won't matter anymore. No time for a memoir now tho, I've got a novel to write (and a CPA exam to study for, boo).
I finally scripted everything out, start to finish, scene by scene. I've been trying to balance my life these past few months, personally, professionally, legally, relationshipally... and it's been taking its toll. I wish life had EZ Pass sometimes. But I have a script. And I'm going to take the next two months (while I'm studying for the Audit and BEC sections of the CPA) to refine it into a solid roadmap that will guide me through every plot point. By the time busy season rolls around and I have no more personal life, I want to be able to bury myself in my story in the late, tired hours after work. That will be my day: Wake up, Work, Write, Pass out, Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
I'm still shooting for a draft by my birthday. We'll see if I still have any magic left.

About the "Author"
- Jacob Huber
- Whitehall, Pennsylvania, United States
When I graduated college, instead of pursuing a career in writing fiction, I went the polar opposite and began working for one of the Big Four accounting firms as a staff auditor. You can't get creative with accounting. If you do, you get subpoenaed. So whenever I get the chance, in the lack of a life I have outside of work, I am working on my forthcoming, New York Times best-selling novel, tentatively titled Ginger Smoke.
This is my story. About my story.
