I'm getting a charming insight into what life would be like if I was A) a paid, work-from-home writer, and B) single. I've taken a four day holiday, to dedicate myself to an animation I'm writing, and the outcome is very exciting. Firstly, I'm living in an old hoodie and array of gym trousers (which much like wearing gym socks, result in one feeling like one is at the gym, even when sitting, eating minstrels).
The house is clean, apart from most things are covered in coffee granules. I've already had six cups of coffee, and my hands grow ever more experimental during the making of each cup! They are dancing of their own accord!
There are quite a lot of 'snot rags', as Ginger calls them. My colleagues gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers when I left/was escorted by security from the workplace. Despite the fact that my antihistamines are not doing anything, I would rather have the beauty of the roses and a peeling nose. I also think (secretly) that Ginger finds these so-called 'snot rags' alluring, and they contribute to the glue of our relationship.
I've got some lovely horse racing on mute (which makes me feel like I'm not alone), and I've found a reason to call almost all of my friends! So far, writing is great. It's meant some real QT (quality time) with Facebook, which at the Wilderness Festival, a psychologist told me was an addiction, but is really just a bit of admin.
Look at the horses go, yay!
I've also discovered Ideas Tap: http://www.ideastap.com/ which all of your creatives will love. Essentially, you can spend ages looking at all these last minute, internships, only to realise that as a current victim of capitalisation, you're doomed to be tied to your 9-5 desk for the rest of eternity, and thus without considerable risk to your bank account and material security, cannot at this time, apply.
There are however, some great briefs, and magazines I INTEND to submit to. My current novel is called 'The best intentions' and currently features 346 blank pages.
Ciao
