I thought both my webmonkey articles were postponed til january. I got an email today saying, “hey woman, where’s our damn article” and I chuckled, “silly goose, it’s not due til january, you postponed me.” But then I went and looked at the postponing email, which was sent to me on the final due date of the writing of my book (gee, might I have been a tad distracted?) and sure enough, I didn’t read the thing right. Only one article was postponed. So, I screwed up, I really hate screwing up. After today’s final, I will scramble to put together a nice, funny, informative acticle for the monkey and hope they forgive me. Kiki Smith will have to wait a couple more days.
I am days away from receiving a book advance for the CS2 book. I am really broke and I’m just trying to grit my teeth and wait as patiently as I can. The money’s already spent and there’s only the webmonkey articles on the horizon. I don’t know if I can get used to this broke thing. I don’t want to borrow any more money. I want to return the money I borrowed and feel like a contributing, productive person. I know. I made my bed and I gotta lie in it. An empty piggy bank around the holidays just feels kinda icky.
I want to put together a massive clearance sale of my paintings. I need to clear out the old and make room for the new. Plus I could really use the cash. But I wonder if I can even get people to buy them at a reduced rate. Feeling a little unconfident. The winter blues must be upon me and the only cure is studio time. Patience little freelancer, finish your article, do your shopping, then you can spend all the time you want at the studio. You are getting closer every day.
