Extra Hustle

So to update everyone on my progress:
I'm editing and rewriting my first chapter, and I'll likely write the second one this weekend. I entered a short story into consideration at a couple of literary journals, we'll see how that pans out.
I'm doing some work for The New Colonist and Urban Art and Antiques. It pays peanuts, but it's published so that's a resume builder. Plus, I really like the concept of The New Colonist, and my editor.
I'm wending my way through the wilderness of  clients who contact you to do stuff then just peter out. Nothing like someone who is hot to trot on a project until it comes time to pay you. Of course, I don't do anything until I see that PayPal pending, but it still occupies time I could spend looking for new business.Most irksome.
The extra hustle? I'm trying to bring in some new business, while still being engaged with the comic shops and getting that done, while trying to write this novel, while trying to stay in the loop on all the stuff I need to know. Oh, and my house looks like a war zone.
