The House Dad - by Jonathan Rosen

Hump Day

May 23rd 2007 14:09
Good morning everybody,
Hope all is well. The week actually does seem like it is flying by so far. It's tough to think of the week in terms of waiting for the weekend, when you work out of the house. Doesn't matter though, because on the weekends I don't have to think about work and whatever problems I have to deal with during the week. It's like all of the money issues and everything aren't there on the weekends. I know it is a false sense of security, but at least it's some security. This week, I have the kids home as I have said before and it has been nice seeing them all day. Unless, they're screaming and fighting when I'm on the phone, but kids will be kids.

I know people are sick of hearing about my manuscript, but hey, too bad. It's my blog. Anyway, I have a very bad feeling about the editor I hired. She sent me the outline of problems within two days and did revisions on chapter one. It has now been a couple of weeks since she was supposed to send me the revisions for chapter two and nothing. I also find it difficult to get in touch with her. She doesn't always return calls or e-mails. It has gone through my mind about stealing material from my manuscript and I am getting worried even though we signed a contract and everything. Am very leery now and might call the whole thing off and get a different editor. Thing is, I paid the first fee and have wasted several weeks that could have been done. Frustrating, but live and learn. Anybody know any editors, please let me know.
Having problems with one of the people from the business I started. I had told him that I would pay him for one month and then we need to see clients. We had a setback in timelines and he wants another month payment. As I've said, I am going through bad money problems and I can't go about doing this. Now, I have to debate whether or not I should keep going and hope this works, or pull the plug. I honestly think this business can work, but I am scared. I will probably give the guy one more month and then that's it. Will let you know.

I realize that I have been very downbeat today, so just to lighten things up before I go, the yankees lost last nigh! Yay!
Later,
Jonathan
