Spent all day yesterday sorting through receipts. Things are fairly under control. Now I have to total things up and prepare the package to send to my accountant.
This is something that few of us think about when we dream of becoming a writer. If the stars do line up and you are making a living from your books, you need to transform yourself into equal parts creative person and businessperson. I’m self-employed, just like many hairdressers, carpenters, graphic artists, and musicians. It’s not a bad thing, not at all. I like being in charge of myself. I get to boss me all over the place some days.
I do wish that I could boss these receipts into marching into the proper piles on their own.
My desk, looking MUCH better than yesterday.
There are bunch of new things happening here in the Forest. I’ll be blogging about them tomorrow, I promise.
Meanwhile, check out this article about getting adults to read YA literature.
