No Case of the Mondays!

Do you have a case of the Mondays?? I guess if I worked for the real version of this man in the middle of America with no prospects and nothing to look forward except being harassed about my missing TPS report, I might too-but thankfully I don't and so I am excited every week.

I love Mondays and really don't know why people are so down on them! Do you not have an awesome job that you love like I do? Did you settle for that steady paycheck instead of chasing your dream? Well then, you have no one to blame but yourself. Don't blame poor Monday.

Mondays are great because the week is just beginning and the possibilities are ENDLESS. You never know what could happen by Friday. For example. I am sending my book to Dublin today, so maybe by Friday I will have a publishing deal: that would be fast, but who knows? I am going out a couple nights this week, and so maybe by the end of the week I will have a new guy to hang out with? Maybe a job offer will come on Wed. Maybe someone will send my money. Clooney will finally read my script and buy it outright. I could win the lotto on Wed. Jake Gyllenhaal could fall madly in love with me. The point is, you never know what is going to happen!

I love Mondays because everything is less crowded from the post office to the bank to the suburban shopping malls and even Barnes & Noble. Everything is empty on Monday-thus making it easier for me to work.

In my job, the deadlines are always the weekend and or early Monday, so usually Monday is my rest day. Love it!!

Besides it just sounds happy...Monday. In my head it is yellow and sunny!

    LOVE Office Space! A couple weeks ago I told my mom I would be going to Office Space, but what I meant was Office Max.

    Mondays sucked for me when I was in school, but now that I'm out, I definitely don't mind them! And if I do score my dream jobs, like you said, I'll be looking forward to Mondays! Every day, in fact.

It's Been Awhile---Catching Up With Me

 So much to say and how to say it... so I'll just start with. Wow, what a year it's been.  I mean, could anyone have predicted all the shite that has hit us in 2020?  NO way!  I'm grateful for so much though, and one of them is the freedom to be able to have blogs (yes I have many) and the freedom to say whatever I want ---this is important.  I'm grateful that I live where I do and even though I'm not rich, I am healthy and live a good life. I do what I can to help others, I also have a loving husband and a Westie who I adore.  As many of you know that aside from blogging sporadically on here I'm a writer and an artist AND I work one on one with both artists and writers to help them in their careers. I've been doing this since 2006 (artists) 2010 (writers). The past few years I've focused on coaching writers as I became the queen of writing conferences and people were always hitting me up for free advice. I even started a YouTube channel CHECK IT OUT Thi...

And It Continues-This One Paid $.50 (cents) Per Drawing!

And it continues.. what is wrong with people?  "54 simple illustrations needed. Small files for web use only, either 300 x 300px square or 460 x 300px rectangle.Will provide font, sample finished product and detailed instruction sheet. Paying $0.50 per .JPG " yeah that's 50 cents!! I saw another one yesterday from New York area that is paying $4 per hour, isn't that illegal in this country, guess not.. I don't understand, a couple days ago I was approached to do someone's book. I gave him a fair price, meaning I quotes less than a day's wage per page and he replied back with insults saying he knows for a fact that illustrators get $5 per page, yes 5 bucks.. he is insane. What is worse is that he wanted fully rendered like hand painted work that would take more than a day.  This happens all the time. I don't understand why the value of an artist isn't valued anymore.  Look we can draw and you can't so pay us a fair wage!! I don'...

Box Office Frog at $150 Million

"The movie cost a reported $150 million" this is from an article about the Princess and The Frog. The thing that gets me is that Disney used an ultra small staff here in the Burbank studio, so small in fact that many of us, 100 or more, give or take, weren't even offered positions on the film and rather most of the work was shipped overseas or across the country to small independent studios for the explanation of, "to keep the costs down". The costs were not kept down at $150 million and that is a shame because they are setting it up to be a box office failure and thus putting the nail into the coffin of 2D films. The article by Julia Boorstin also said that the reason 2D films weren't making money was this, "hand-drawn animation tends to appeal primarily to kids while Pixar movies draw all ages." I would like to smack her because this is simply not true. Story is what appeals to all ages, and it has nothing to do with the medium. It makes me sad t...
