What to do when no one wants to employ you. That's a tough one. I have never grovelled so much in my life. This is actually humiliating. Trying to sell myself. It's just a matter of getting my foot in the door, right? Why is that so difficult then? Oh well, I guess the inevitable will eventually happen. Hopefully before next month's rent is due.
I still haven't started my book yet. I haven't even made notes in this regard. My mind seems to be a blank lately. There's a writers festival in the upcoming 'Woordfees' and I promised myself I'll attend as many gatherings as possible. The only problem is I'll have to have a job to actually finance my attendance. Life is shit.
A funny thing happened on Saturday. My mom came with me and my sister to the community festival. I wouldn't say she liked Lark that much, but at least she could appreciate Inge's talent. I love my mom for that. Well done Mom!
I don't know what to do today. I've already sent out my CV to this week's contestants in 'Who's going to employ Maretha' so now I'm basically a sitting duck. Someone actually phoned me, but seeing as I'm in Narga, I was unable to answer, so she left a voicemail. She (whoever she is) said that she just finished reading my CV, so to get a callback that quickly must hold something good, don't you think? I think I'll go home now and give this woman a call, and heaven help me if she doesn't.

not in the mood to think of a stupid title to attract your attention
I'm cold even tho it's quite hot outside. Heaven help me if can see the meaning of my life at the moment. Not that that has anything to do with the weather.
I'm going to the gym tommorrow. It'll be my first gym session in a long time and to tell the truth I'm quite afraid actually. I think I'll start with some yoga, or something equally easy. If there is such a thing. I'm sounding a bit depressed and if I can detect it I pity you. I've been trying to start with my book for over a year now and it's starting to bother me. I have so many ideas but it ceases to realise on a page. At one stage in my life I dreamt whole movies. I kid you not. It was very detailed too. I even dreamt about the credits at the end. If only I could remember the fucking thing.
I will start again tonight and see how it goes. The only decision I have to make is what I'm actually going to write about first? You see, I have an extremely vivid imagination, so I can write some fantasy, but I also want to write a novel mixing realitly and fiction. In that one, I'll use people I actually know, but they'll have superpowers or something. I haven't decided on the catchphrase yet.. if I can call it that.
Well I'll keep you posted. You know what they say, you have to practise writing, so I'll try to write something every day.
