The Zone

Last night, I was watching TV with my boyfriend and we got to talking about Scribe and starting a publication of sorts. Not only is this something near and dear to my heart – something I’ve always dreamt of accomplishing, but working at The Journal is how I met my boyfriend, so it’s exhilarating to feed off of each others passion for writing. It’s refreshing to be close to someone who shares similar passions as you, and who encourages and believes in you as opposed to spouting out doubt and criticism. The reason why I feel a need to mention this is because before my current boyfriend came along, I felt like I was out to prove something to ‘those’ who were 'close' to me by overcoming their negativity and synicism. I thought at the time that this made me stronger and forced me to work harder, when in retrospect; it was just draining, and sometimes robbed me of the zest necessary to keep pushing for my goals. External doubt drives you to a point, but when there’s not only a lack of support, but a lack of belief right in your face everyday, it does subconsciously wear on the mind. Anyway, it’s a great feeling to be supported and I appreciate it so much that I needed to write it out.

So, like I said, we’re taking about starting a publication under the Scribe Solutions company. I’ve begun to organize the company again by figuring out what steps I need to take next. First and foremost, I need to get the business plan in order. I started it a year and a half ago, but it dropped off as graduation crept up on me, not to mention looking for a real job. I feel like I’m in the mental state again where I can concentrate on my career and at the same time, devote time to other things on the side - like in University. I knew it would happen eventually, when I felt like I had things under control again. We’re still not 100% sure what the publication will consist of, so I hesitate in talking too openly about it right now, but I will definitely be giving updates as it develops.

This means that for the next little while, during my time out of the office, I’ll be dedicating to working on the Scribe Solutions business plan along with the plan for the publication. I’m finally getting into the zone again. I’m sure you know what I mean by "the zone" – as everyone has a “zone”... you know... the mental space where you feel most productive, creative, and happy.
