Your spirits should improve immeasurably. Mine have, since I dispatched my incredibly well-connected, incredibly fabulous, incredibly hateful literary agent two weeks ago. Fans, let me suggest this: even if you don't HAVE an agent, get one and then fire her. It works wonders.
I tend to be an overly good-hearted person. There are few people in the world I make the effort to dislike.
However, if that agent were to be loaded into a misprogrammed rocket and mistakenly fired past Mars, forcing her to drift for eternity through outer space, I wouldn't be too upset.
But the situation is different, now, because my paying job at ABC.com is leaving me, moving to Disney HQ in Los Angeles. I don't want to move to Los Angeles, which is too far from Paris (where I also don't want to move, but like to visit on a regular basis). Ergo, I need a new job.
I have a great deal of experience, as you can see from my resume, having worked as a journalist, a TV producer, and an Internet hack. I like new media, and would like to continue working in that field.
Any offers? I can promise a signed work of original cartoon art, as seen on this site, to the person who suggests the job I ultimately take.
