Seriously, I need to stop being a full-time novelist. It is making me crazy. In a bad way.
The only problem: what to do? Bob has made it abundantly clear that he ain't moving across the country or across the street for me, so lexicography is out, publishing is out (unless UTP magically starts hiring). I feel like my name is mud in the local library scene. I'm a competent, qualified, educated, and fun-as-balls lady who makes a delightful addition to any workplace situation (except maybe a medical one, or a funeral home. no real future there) I come with bad-ass letters of recommendation.
Some ideas:
alumni relations person (professional reunion planner!)
writing teacher at a college (for kids who come into college with no writing skills)
Friends have recommended columnist, but I have no idea how to break into that.
What do you think I should do?
