I’m working on a personal project and was reminded that motivation is in no way a straight line. I know! It sucks, right! Why can’t every day be filled with jet fuel and unicorns? Picture it: You’re really excited about this amazing career you’ve chosen. It's inspiring to think that you might be coaching learners, or selling a great new gadget. That's the hype.

So the last few weeks were…a lot. Like a lot, a lot. And it taught me things about myself. But let me set the stage a bit. See, last fall, I talked with an immersive audiobook company. I’ve done plenty of narration work before, but immersive audiobook narration is a different animal. It sounded interesting, so I went ahead and cut sample audio which they accepted. And then it got quiet. I figured I may never hear from them. Oh well. Easy come easy go. And then it happened.
