Looking for work...

I attended some Halloween festivities of course: Samhain with the Unitarian/Universalist Sixth Source folk, Friendship Circle's Masquerade, and the Witches Ball.

I did manage a brief chat about a local publisher that specialises in novels set in Halifax. First step with them, apparently, would be to put together some sample chapters and an outline. I do not have already figured out in my mind any particular theme, let alone specific story, to base here. So while I think long and hard about what the heck kind of a novel I would base here, and whether it might be better to just go ahead and write some novel or other that does not happen to be based here, I have started yet another job search.

I have now spent literally years researching the concept of Making Money, with the result that I now have a much deeper and wider understanding of the whole concept of jobs. I can really see why so many people prefer simply working for others to trying to run a business themselves. When I say though that I am looking for work I am not closed to the idea of working in a "self employed" capacity. I am, after all, still Digitalis Data Services (25+ years in business! ;)) That is why the title of this post says looking for work instead of saying looking for a job. But being self-employed is a long way from "running a business". There is a limit to how much one person can do. For example trying to single-handedly run what would amount to a web-publishing business seems a little much for me to do alone. Any kind of business I tried to set up would be more than what i could handle alone. So I am back to looking for work I can do in a "self employed" capacity or even an actual "job". Whatever. I want to get back out to my country house, and to do that properly I really ought to get a vehicle. Vehicles are expensive. I simply have not been making enough money lately to afford one. If you check out my Make Money Knotwork site you will see that I have put a lot of research into the whole concept of Making Money. As I already mentioned, I have put years into that research. In particular I know a huge amount about making money on the web. I paid for my country house, cash down in full, no mortgage, all with money I made on the web. But that was years ago. Things happened, maybe you might have heard of "the dot-com bust". Since then I have been researching to find out what, if anything, I would apply capital toward next time I make capital investments. But meanwhile I have run out of capital, unless I sell the country-house, which I very much do NOT want to do. So I now have much knowledge but I do not have the capital myself to apply much of what I have learned. Thus the search for work. While still thinking of writing projects too, of course. :)
