this has been the day that was.

thanks to nycdeb (well, I'm blaming her, anyway) I am now auditioning all comers for the position of Patron.

Requirements: the willingness and ability to provide:

 

• maid service on a weekly basis
• groceries paid for and delivered to my kitchen (no need to cook, I can do that myself)
• praise and admiration when the author does something noteworthy (like making deadline)
• chocolates, wine, and foie gras
• the services of a masseuse five times a year (quarterly, and on my birthday)

In return, the Patron will receive my undying gratitude, and a place in the acknowledgements of every book I write while under their patronage. 


Line forms to the left, please no pushing and shoving, everyone will be interviewed in turn...

oh sure, blame the messenger. I wasn't even thinking about a patron until you mentioned you were gonna get one. Still, your demands seem very reasonable. Surely, you should make them work a little harder than that.

I am a very amenable writer, but an expensive one. Especially when it comes to my groceries...

I volunteer to supply chocolates. :)

Hmmm.

I have now decided that I would like you to find me a Patron as well. Cept I want mine to do the masseuse thing WAY more often. Like every day. And I want him to look exactly like Brad Pit.

Okay?

bah. what do I look like, a hiring agency? go hunt your own, it's a writerly rite of passage...

Ok, I'm too poor to provide the other stuff, but praise and admiration I can come up with on an almost daily basis. Does that help? Yea you! *shakes virtual pompoms" Hooray Suricattus!!! Wonderful writer!!!
