Like, Art
I have a penpal who lives in Seatle, WA. Sometime ago, I decided that she needed not just my scintilating words, but also my art. So, when you see the picture I'm about to post, imagine the top blank section filled with words of greeting, well wishes, tales of my life, tribulations, etc.
Don't you wish YOU were my penpal?
Although, you wouldn't right now. I just sent this lovely picture of Renji to my penpal filled with tales of woe, mostly. I've been contemplating what I might have to do if a book contract doesn't pan out soon. Today, I'm working parttime over the High Holidays to help out a friend with her dog walking business. It's not going to pull the "big bucks," but, well, a year without income has kind of sucked for me. Turns out that starving artist gig really only works best if you don't have a family or a kid. :-)
But, like Renji, I'm not beaten yet. I've got a really cool idea for the proposal (the one I went Kelly Barnhill on) and I think with a bit more work, it will be ready for the big league. Fingers crossed my editor agrees with me.
