A new beginning.

I am in the final week of my job. I have decided to quit. I moved to New York City 6 months ago to fully pursue writing. In that time I have become tremendously sidetracked. The end of my job will coincide with Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year. 

My goals are as follows. 

• Find a job in writing/television/film or anything that helps me develop my writing skills or networking.
• Quit drinking. It's really gotten out of control. I hope to be able to handle this on my own, without a support group or twelve step program. But I am prepared to enlist in one if necessary. Ideally if I could moderate myself to 2 drinks max a day, that would be perfect. But I honestly don't think I'm capable of that. 
• Work out 4-5 times a week.
• Healthy eating. Minimal carbs. More vegetables.  Avoid eating after 8pm. 
• Start and maintain a blog. This forum is great for me, but I've never felt it professional nor presentable. 

For the immediate future I plan to be unemployed and living off my savings. That's a pretty scary notion. If need be I'll have to go back to waiting tables but hopefully it won't have to come to that.
