...and so does the writer's block.
*sigh*
First person or third?
I've decided to write about my experience of having gone from Computer Diva to fired to leaving everything I knew in New Orleans and moving to Maine to work and experiencing my first Fall and my first Winter and my first snow-in and on and on.
But should I start before "the firing" so the world can see what a snotty Computer Diva I was, at "the firing" where in disbelieving numbness I fell from my self-built pedestal, or after deciding to go to Maine?
Should I not write about this subject? In a way I'm hoping this will be cathartic, but am I too close to it?
And I've already lost almost 10 hours of writing time to sleep and writer's block...I wonder if I'd stayed up last night and started at midnight when I was braindead, would I have just gotten started without the agonizing and angst?

Okay, here's my 2 1/2 cents (inflation).
Persoanlly I write better in first person, but that's just me. Write in whatever POV you are most comfortable with. (Maybe I should take my own advice as I'm writing in 3rd this year.)
I think you should start before the firing. It will show that the firing was unwarranted (you got a raise 6 months earlier and a bonus the week before), and that will also show the change you went through going from Computer Diva to unemployed to trooping off to Maine with your cats.
After talking to you I think it would be a very good idea for you to write this. I think it would be good for you.
Okay, I'm taking off my Shrink's hat and going back to my nano writing.

Wherever you start, I want to hear more. That's a pretty good place to begin...
