Just signed a new book contract...Not bad for 'never going to amount to anything'

Wet Paint is the sequel to Pitch. I just signed the contract for it.

I'm happy dancing and I have to go to work. Sigh.

have heard a lot of. I haven't had that said to my face but I know to a lot of people I look like a failure in life, having never yet been able to even really begin pursuing my art. I am now laid off from my job and determined to start fresh and make my life an artist's life, come what may. I hope more of us will ignore the insults and forge ahead with our art. Thanks for setting an example!!!!
