You got me bloggin’ babes. I’m scrambled, scrambling, scramed – is that a word? I’m too busy to make hay or horsetails and I don’t know what I’m talking about.
In brief – a fellow poet asked me to be her PR Flack. I said – Hey – RISK IS GOOD! So I am her PR Flack. And now also the PR Flack of our state Poet Laureate and also the PR Flack of a historical novelist. Yesterday client #1 – my ground zero poet – won the state book of the year award! Talk about PR! I’ve spent the last 18 hours sending out info, images and press releases. WHOA NELLIE!
What to do?! Celebrate the joy of risk! I said yes and, so far, the world is saying yes back even if I can’t hear it over my to-do list!
Forgive the grammar, the spelling and the exuberance – no time to proofread in this flack’s bubble.
Yes – I’m still writing and submitting my own work.
Tonight’s risk – make a truly comprehenisive list of my commitments (knowing I’ll forget a few) and take a deep breath!
