The New Job
So. As you may know – if you follow me on social media – I have a new job! If you don’t follow me on social media – wtf? Seriously? Why not? I mean – what did I ever do to you that would make you not follow me on...
New Job
So, I’m not here right now. In fact, I am at my new job. This means the old job is over. This is exciting. Starting today, I’m back to doing what I do best: Marketing. I’ve been fairly quiet here on the blog about the sales...
Giving Crack to an Addict
As part of the new job, I have been given “free” tv. I put free in quotes because I have just a couple of bits I have to pay for, like having a DVR, but I am getting all the equipment, television channels, premiums like HBO and...
Writing Journal Y3 Day 112
I decided to take the laptop to work. I wait as long as I can stand to take my lunch hour (usually around 3 pm, or 5 hours into my 11 hour schedule), then I go off into the quietest corner of the break area I can find, plug in my ear buds, crank...
Jabberwocky!

Freelance Services
Hi there. I keep reminding people that I am unemployed. Have been for quite some time now. Sorry if that feels weird. It feels weird to me, but it’s the truth, so, what are ya gonna do? I continue to look for work, and even released an...
New Website
Well, I am splitting things up a little. In an attempt to broaden my employment horizons, I have created a new website, PatrickHester.com, that will serve a dual purpose. 1st, the new site is an online resume. I have listed my work experience...
Writing Journal: Day 288
So. The holidays have brought with them a whole new kind of stress and distraction. My carefully crafted plans for writing have fallen apart under the barrage of demands on my time. Whenever I sit down to write, I find myself having to refresh...
Quick Update
I realize that the blog has been suffering as I concentrate on the novel. Sorry about that. Anealio was kind enough to say, when I mentioned the lack of blogging, “Screw the blogging! Write the book!” He’s not wrong. Still...
Focus
I’ve been pretty focused this week. Honestly, I have been pretty focused for a while, just in pieces. Let me esplain. I’ve been focused on the novel re-write, but I always have gaps where I find myself realizing I haven’t...
