Highs and Lows…
Yes, yes I am lonely. Why? Cuz my hubby has been away at his dad’s house for the last few days and I want him back. Now, preferably. Thankfully, he just called me and let me know he’s on his way. Yay! While I do enjoy having the bed to myself, I do miss having him in the bed with me. Awww. How romantic. =P
I’ve got some great news. Amelia Atwater-Rhodes and her agent seemed very happy with the book cover, and after fixing just a few minor things, I’ve sent off the (hopefully) final revision. Wee! I’m so excited. 
Plus, I’m so grateful because we really needed this money. Things are getting tougher every day.
I’ve sent out a BUNCH of resumes and job applications in the last few days, but I’m most excited about this one job in particular. An artist with a studio literally down the street from my apartment needs someone to work in-house with digital photography, Photoshop, event planning, etc. I am planning on going down there tomorrow and dropping off a resume in person to accompany the one I sent via e-mail. I am really hoping that they haven’t gotten someone to fill in the position already. It pays $10/hour, which is excellent considering right now I’m making $0/hour. Haha.
I’ve also entered a contest on deviantart.com being held by a OOAK (One of A Kind) miniature and figurine sculptor. The premise of the contest is to use a photo in her gallery of her dolls and create a digital work with it (meaning a photomanip, digital painting, mixed media, etc). You can see my entry here: Fairytale. I REALLY hope I win, because the prize is either a custom doll, or the cash equivalent once she sells it on eBay. To be honest, I’d rather have the money since I could definitely use it more. Thankfully, the lovely lady holding the contest is understanding of this, and said that if the winner prefers the money, that it would be totally fine. 
Here’s to hoping I win! *crosses fingers again*
Still busting my butt on those commissions. The hardest part is actually finding the stock. The three ladies I have left to do commissions for had A LOT of demands for their works, so it’s taking longer to finish them. *sigh* But, that’s OK. I don’t mind a challenge.
Anyway, that’s all for now. Now, just gotta wait for my hubby to come home. Ciao!
I wish you luck with your job searching! (That’s what I get to start doing in the next month or so myself.)
Thanks! I’m off to turn in a copy of my resume at a potential job location.
Fuck yeah. $$$ is always good. Black History Month saw me dancing on the stage and in the gym of damn near every school in Georgia, so I’m expecting a fat check at the end of it all.
But putting in resumes and applications is only a part of the process. I’ve learned you have to literally stay on these people’s necks in order to assure they actually give you a chance.
@Aisha
Oh definitely. I agree with you there. You have to shove yourself down people’s throats.
