2007 is looking good so far
1. Both American Family and Paige got their referrals this week! It will be Mondo Baby Universe come spring (if we can keep Paige from moving away)!
2. I had a good interview with a contracting agency on Tuesday and am now on their books for work. (Must burn more incense in my money bagua.)
3. I decided to keep my career focus on a couple of markets that I would love to be in and that I feel would benefit me long-term (i.e., no more Home Appliance magazine just because the pay per word is good). I just got an acceptance from the first market on my list! (I decided to keep my head down and hammer on one market at a time so this also means I’m free to target the next market sooner than I expected.)
4. I heard back from the interested agent about my proposal and she is still interested and had some constructive critiques that showed that my instincts were right and have given me the impetus to push forward in that direction. (Although it’s a lot more work than the original project it is also closer to the project I’d want to write. Now I have stage-fright.)
I feel a bit tremulous so I’m going to go work out.
I even think the stage fright is good news…probably means you care, at least a little bit, about how this all turns out. If there is anything I can do to help, say the word. Congratulations!
Yay! Interested agent = yay!
Word stage fright can be channeled with cookies and writing.
Inspiring words! I am trying hard to not take projects that just good pay, but that mean something. I’m excited to hear it is working for someone!
Congrats! I wish I felt as driven and focused and together as you do. I did run yesterday.
Excellent, sounds like things ARE off to a good start. Happy New Year to you!
