What needs doing, what wants doing.

[gement]

I am having trouble getting certain things done. Important things. Doing my laundry. Taking stuff to Goodwill. Cleaning my bathroom and installing the shelving unit in it. Taking the doors out of my closet. That kind of thing.

The one thing I am not having trouble getting done is writing a lot of vampire fiction and reading it dramatically in my head. My therapist suggested that there might be a market for this. I am working on seeing my artistic output as valuable, so on her advice I am seeing if this is a way people might find it valuable.

I have previously asked people to come over and help me in exchange for the pleasure of my company. I am now writing to ask if anyone would come over and help me in exchange for my company and my services as a dramatic reader of naughty vampire fiction. I don't know if this will be of interest, but I'm putting it out there.

The old company-only offer still stands if you're not into naughty vampire fiction.

Please let me know if you're interested. If you don't want to express your interest publicly, you can write to me at this handle @ hotmail instead.

I actually did know, but only by utter chance. Thank you for keeping an eye out for my interests! (I'm already on the waiting list at SPL.)

I know because I started reading rm who is running for an LJ advocacy office. When I looked up her platform, I discovered that not only would she make a kick-ass LJ user advocate, but we also have a number of interests in common; she's just older and cooler.

She's a writer, both pro and fan, is knowledgable about the alt sexuality communities, and she's also a professional actor, a fencer, and a Regency recreationist! It's a big pile of squee.

Um, I'm totally interested, but due to the 2,700 or so miles between us, perhaps you'd be willing to email me and I can read silently to myself?

Got a speakerphone? 'cuz I'd be glad to provide moral support, but it's just a *bit* of a drive... !

It sounds like a lovely time, but too bad "time" is the operative word here.

Can I link to this?

[gement.livejournal.com]

You can! To find me more contacts or as an example of something amusing/a neat idea? (You can link either way; I'm just curious.)

[tylik.livejournal.com]

I was thinking of more contacts. I'm thinking of a couple of people in particular, but will allow them to figure out whether or not it's really their thing ;-)

Now I'm wondering if I'm one of those people in particular. :) I *did* click the link... heh.

*troz*

I am happy to visit with you at your place, with or without naughty vampire fiction. Maybe it will help me tear my mind away from the stuff it's been hyper-focused on. I hope you still have the tension rod (even if you don't have the curtain) to replace your closet door. 8)

In regards to naughty vampire fiction, have you considerd checking into the "Red Hot Words" thingy they do at The Club? It's more or less an erotic read aloud night, and I believe they are still doing it. I'm not 100% certain on that, but I bet the folks that run NSWG would be able to tell you if it's not on the posted club schedule. Could be good advance press for your naughty vampire novel, if you feel OK about reading in semi-public. Should you decide that sounds interesting, I'd be willing to go in support of you. };>

If you need long distance favors/services rendered, give me a holler. I would come over too if it weren't for being in New Mexico. I would love to read anything you've written.

Might be interested, but right now my schedule is all topsy-turvey, looking for a job. But I'm intrigued, and if you'd be willing to be an audience for my poetry practice, it might work out! I've been thinking about how to get more motivated on my writing/polishing.

I'll keep this post around and get back to you when things "settle down" as much as they ever do for me...

Cool. If you ping me from a good email address at this handle @ hotmail.com, I can send you occasional reminders as well.

[maida-mac.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fun to me. :)

[gement.livejournal.com]

Ping! You're up first (so to speak) but I can't find your email address or phone number. Can you nudge me at this handle @ hotmail, please?
