I'm Too Silly For It To Be A Monday
Heh. I found out that KT's stepdad was in Last of the Mohicans. Had a line or two, apparently. Now I need to go watch for him. Those nutty historical reenactors... oh wait. That would be the pot calling the kettle black, wouldn't it?
Speaking of that. There's an SCA meeting tonight, methinks. Since my work schedule has shifted, I really should go. It'd be nice to see everyone again, and I've been saying I was going to get involved again ever since I moved last October. Hrm... there is in fact a meeting, and I could make it. Pardon me while I kick myself in the butt to get over the whole shyness 'what if nobody likes me anymore' issue.
I never said I was sensible.
Of course, if I were sensible, I probably wouldn't be so keen on being a member of the SCA.
Oh, I haven't mentioned it yet, but I wrote an article on women and gaming for the webzine Girlie Style. Last I checked it wasn't up yet, but the editor says it should be up by Thursday. I'll post a direct URL once I get my hands on one. I was very pleased with how it turned out. I joked to Tribe 8's editor (who gave me some awesome quotes to use in the article, by the way), "All this while working on the book too. Now I really feel like a freelancer."
It's not a bad feeling at all. I know I couldn't solely make my living from it though. Even if I did get enough work to pay my bills, the instability of it would drive me mad. I need to know that I can count on a paycheck every week (or month, in my case). Still... this working to pay the bills and writing to make myself happy thing is working out quite well so far. I'm definitely going to look into writing more articles for the web.
Hi, I'm Lisa. I'm a freelance writer.
Heh. Just trying it on for size. I think it fits. I'll take it!
