On A Roll

I had another profitable evening last night and I'm not talking in terms of sales, although there were some of those, too.

I had a booth at the 3rd Thursday Walkabout, sponsored by the Morada Way Arts & Cultural District.  It's a monthly event for locals and tourists to wander a couple blocks of our island's art district and check out what local craftsmen/artists/authors are working on.  There's live music and the wine flows freely and by that I mean, the wine is free.  Do I have your attention yet?

This was my second time as an "artist" and I made some great connections, which I think are just as important as sales.  For three hours, I talked and laughed with people - most of whom I'd never met - about all kinds of crap.  It's a great way to connect with people who have an appreciation for all forms of art.

Listening to other authors made me realize how lucky my experience has been thus far.  Yet, in spite of two great nights with fabulous responses and unprecedented sales, I want more!  Does that make me a selfish asshole or just driven to see this thing to the moon?  Hopefully, the latter.  I'm an asshole for so many other reasons, I'd like to think this isn't one of them.

Oh, the best part: several people who'd seen or heard Wed night's live radio show were disappointed I wasn't wearing my habit.  Mark your calendars!  This nun will be at April's 3rd Thursday in full battle gear!
