Adjusting,coordinating and negotiating

 

I haven't had a worse job than this one. I am thanking my lucky stars that I am not a PRO or in any of that kind of jobs where my main work would be liaising with people or coordinating dates or so!

I always knew artists were a bit nakre walleh, but this rookie of a guy is the limit.

He is pleased with the prospect of being i'vied and going high profile and all that, but just cant cooperate for photo shoots...how gross!

Somehow I feel he is just being a little too introvertish and digging his heels for nothing at all.

And that puts me into a lot of trouble...I am dreaming of making this to fine print and this uncle seems to be hell bent on pouring cold water on all my hard work.

And z is the diplomat in between, who seems to be squished in the process. She must be thinking, "ethu nerathaanaavo ee idea thalayil vannathu"...I wont blame her for that.

I was reading SmitaJain yesterday. She had a line which said, if you think your job is over after the writing is done, then think again. Its only beginning.

I so know what she is talking about. Writing the article for the magazine was the easiest part, I guess. I just dilly dallied with it for so much time, but when I started it it got over in about roughly 3 hours, 2 hours of rewriting, 1 hour of editing and additions.

To coordinate with the artist and the magazine editors seems to be the tougher job. And in the process I even had to give my lady's url. Anyways a fiction blog is for public consumption, so there.

The ed seems to be a nice fella, my feelers so far have not detected rays of distrust or negations, we will just wait and watch.

I just hope this works out fast, and good!
