NEW RELEASES
An Opportunity for Someone
I’m very disappointed with myself. Here it is the 21st day of 2010 and I still haven’t submitted anything. That was deal. I was to start sending Gabriel’s story out to the e-pubs and get someone to publish the sucker. This whole working-for-a-living thing really sucks and it’s totally inconvenient. I have so much rolling around in my head and there’s just not enough time in the day. Things are changing in the very near future. A change I’m very excited about. If things go as I hope they will, there will be some daylight hours that I can get some work done. I’m up all night anyway, but the thing is, I can only shove so much writing in the limited hours I have. There doesn’t ever seem to be any available time for the administrative aspects of being a writer.
I need an assistant.
Wanted: an assistant for an up and coming author. Must have excellent penmanship, punctuation and editing skills. Should be independently wealthy as the salary is mostly in the form of kind words and Oreos. It is imperative that this person have an outstanding sense of humor with a superior working knowledge of irony and sarcasm. Must enjoy action movies, Jane Austen, and cupcakes. Only voracious readers need apply.
I wonder who’d apply. It definitely piques my interest.
I hope you find an assistant. I actually know an artist, Diane Bailey-Haug, who taught the encaustic class I attended, who does just what you are looking for.
What I need is a MAID! I need someone who comes in and does all the mundane housecleaning that I so despise. Rod is so neat, and I am anything but. I don’t want to clean, I just want to create. Rod doesn’t get this. He doesn’t understand why I can’t set aside 2 or 3 hours to create, then when the timer goes off, immediately stop and put EVERYTHING away and out of sight! Here’s the rub–my brain would still be in the creative mode, and I just can’t shut that down.
I think he would be o.k. if the house was spotless before, during, and after I make art. Only a maid can accomplish that.
Men don’t understand the importance of having a maid. They don’t understand why we can’t just do EVERYTHING and still be artists at the same time.
Any advice to this dilema would be greatly appreciated.
