I feel like I've been on a desert island with Jack Sparrow for a week. Pumped full of rum, and dancing around a bonfire...A little out of it, enjoying myself, but full of inner most plans.
In truth, I've been reading the same manuscript over and over again, looking for insignificant typos and poor word choice -- and going cross-eyed in the process.
There is good news: they liked my work so well I've been promoted! One of the outstanding perks to working for a start up company is the quick promotions.
I am now the Managing Editor for PDP. Holy crap, all of the sudden, I've gotten really busy.
This does one of two things: 1) Writing? Who has time to write? I'm too busy searching for freelance editors! 2) Free time? Who has free time anymore? I'm on the phone with web designers and logo designers and WTF, people are calling me?!
You have to recall, I haven't "worked" in about ten years. This is a bit of a shocker. Apparently, spending the last ten years with my nose buried in a book, writing every free moment I had, and attending seminars contributes to job attributes. Who knew? I was just doing what I loved!
The ultra-good news is that I can work from home, so no one is aware I'm reading while on my exercise bike, I'm on the phone in my sweats, and I'm answering emails without a bit of make up on. Though, they're most likely, aware of this now.
I just hope nobody wants to Skype.

You need a personal assistant! :)
