Happy holidays everyone! Well, I'm planning some career changes in the upcoming year probably. My twin sister copied my 1600 plus music CDs, so once they're downloaded onto my computer I can do some on-line DJ work for free and hopefully get hired eventually to do it someplace. My therapist two years ago told me I had a DJ's voice. And I love music, of course I want to be a published writer - my mom and I were talking about celebrity romances last night she said I was greedy. I don't think so since I knew two women in Los Angeles who were wealthy who wanted to have relationships with me and I passed, thinking as I ran across so many wealthy and successful people it wouldn't take long for me to have some success myself, but I had a mental breakdown, so that ended that. No matter. I've been sending out my writing since 2002. I haven't even gotten an agent to read it yet. Persistence is the key of course, but if I was related to some celebrity, married to one, or involved with one, or had a two-bit career like so many of the people who I can't even believe are published with multiple books, I would have a book deal. Anyone who is a semi-celebrity gets published it seems. I may get published, at the rate things are going it will be long after my parents are gone. I will continue to write because I enjoy it. But I know that if I hadn't had so severe a breakdown I would probably be in a monestary in Europe now, and I can't because of my mental illness so much for my mother and telling me I'm greedy... Glenn P.S. I'm just so upset that I was told I'm greedy by my mother when I've basically been living in poverty since I left my parents' house at age 19 - it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever - I'm the most indigent member of the family on both sides... anyway, cheating on the diet tonight... off to my twin sister's to her house! P.P.S. I know as someone who is not a celebrity - or related to one - it is tough for a first time author. My cousin's ex wife got an advance on a book proposal about a teaching manual I believe years back - because her mom is famous and has some books out but her mom is a big TV star. I already have books DONE... Anyway, the economy is bad and they are not taking on new authors very easily. I realize it may be be quite a ways down the road before they are willing to take on me. I'm willing to try to do DJ work to try to make a living better than what I'm doing now... Wish me well...
