Business Calls
I have just started trying to get writing jobs. As such, I’m going for whichever ones I can get. I have no resume, and I have no experience—just a lot of unpublished writing and some balls. Not even big balls, just little ones. And they’re shaking in their little boots.
I am honestly terrified of the publishing world. This is, no doubt, due to huge amounts of ignorance. Bucketfulls. In fact, it’s hard for me to comprehend how little I know about it. I suppose I’ll learn as I go (my favorite method!), but right now it’s scary.
One thing that is causing me a great deal of distress is a business call I have tomorrow morning. I applied for a small thing writing articles about movies for an internet site, and they’re giving me a call to discuss something.
I’m not sure what they want to discuss, exactly, but I think I might be in. People only call if they’re interested, right?
I’m trying to remain calm, I am. Here I go. Inhaling and exhaling.
Okay. I’ll give it my best.
