How on earth did so much time slip by between my last post and this one?! That's not proper blogging etiquette at all...
Malta continues to be lovely. I'm deeply entrenched in working on another Elance project, which likely explains my lack of writing here. This one is another relationship/dating ebook, because apparently I really am something of an expert on the topic now. How strange!
And it gets stranger: the person who hired me was the founder of a pickup company in New York that I know! I met several of their instructors out one night when they tried to pick me up to show off for their students. Needless to say, that did not go very well...and the students spent much of the rest of the evening following me around instead of the teachers they'd hired! ;)
The book is off to a great start...it'll be around 50 pages, single spaced, which is a lot, but it's going well so far. The writing is probably my best yet (that I've been paid for, that is!), and between my client's ideas and my own, we've got some great information in it. He even had a few ideas that I'd never heard before, which is rather unusual in the relationship niche! Maybe he'll take a shine to me and take me on has his protege and teach me how to be a relationship coach....dream big, right?
This project will also be my biggest compensation-wise, which is pretty exciting, and when I'm paid for it my Elance earnings will be over the thousand dollar mark! It's awfully cool to think that I will have been paid over a thousand dollars for my writing...I think that might officially make me a "real" writer!
And in other news, we're in the home stretch of the trip! We're in Malta until Thursday, then we leave for Cairo. We'll have four days of frolicking around pyramids, one night in the UAE, and then we'll be home! Unfortunately that means traveling on both Thanksgiving and our anniversary (3 years...crazy), but it's well beyond worth it. I miss a few people and a few places, and silly little things like Sunday brunch and straightening my hair, but otherwise I'm not ready for the trip to be over! Can't I just travel forever??
