feeling a little desperate..

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.
