Officially broke

By Sade|2007-09-04T21:20:00+00:00September 4th, 2007|Fan club|0 Comments

It's official, I'm broke. I could go out and get a job, but that means having to give up my bohemian lifestyle. Without the struggle then my work will have no meaning. Yeah, if you believe that, you're more of an idiot than me. Got the contract back from the solicitor and have forwarded his comments to my soon to be agent. He tells me I should negotiate and have things removed, they tell me it's all completely standard. Hmmmm I had my first fanmail yesterday, I'm totally excited. This is what it says Dear SI have just finished Imagine This and I had to write to say how much I enjoyed it. It was beautifully written.I am still inside Lola's head and I want to know where she goes from here.I do hope you will be carrying on the story of her life - I love her and her [...]

DJ,I just got the contractual agreement from my agent and instead of celebrating, I'm being such a wuss. I think there is something wrong with me, surely this is what I've been waiting for, an agent to represent me and my interests. But the little cynical part of my brain won't let me enjoy this little victory. No, it keeps whispering to me, get a lawyer to read the contract, make sure you're not giving away your rights, negotiate, do this and do that and protect yourself. So now that I've given myself a headache, I've decided to hire a lawyer and spend money I don't have, just so they can help me decipher what this agreement says. I've read it 3 times and I felt like I was reading some obscure biblical ancient text.I now feel the need to go back to university to learn this foreign language.Moving on, [...]

Procrastination

By Sade|2016-12-31T02:17:37+00:00August 29th, 2007|Avoidance|0 Comments

DJ,I'm obsessed with reading other peoples blogs. I'm still yet to start on the fabled second novel. I've procrastination down to a capital P. While I'm thinking of procrastination, I haven't been to the gym either. I'm starting to look like a whale on two legs. The other day I put on a pair of skinnys along with a skin tight blouse and looked at myself with disgust in the mirror. My belly was proudly protruding over my jeans. Needless to say I took them off and put some baggys on.Well instead of talking about my non-pregnant stomach, I really should just sit down and do some work. I just can't get into it, my latest excuse is that I've got 12 books to get through. Went on a spending spree last week and bought even more books, which brings my total of non read books to 20. The one [...]

Define despair

DJ,For the past months, years, days, hours and seconds, I've been making a promise to myself. Today I'll start the next book I say to my brain. Yet curiously, despite the fact that an outline has been done and the story mapped out. I find myself staring at a blank piece of paper everyday, it mocks my intent. It screams 'fill me with words that mean something.' Each day I make a mental list:1. Go to gym2. Follow up calls for Imagine This (whatever press or media coverage I can get)3. Start 2nd book.If I'm not properly awake by 7am, then Item number 1. goes out the window. My excuse is traffic, yes I could walk to the gym, but why would I if I can drive there. It means I don't have use the communal showers and can jump in my car with my smelly sweaty self. Now by the [...]
