The Fabulous Adventures of Astera: Writer/Actress for Hire

Meet Astera (aka: me), a star in her own mind. Our plucky little heroine has embarked on not one but two difficult, low-paying career paths: writing and acting. Witness the menial jobs! The unreasonable demands! The quirky friends and family! And the glimmer of success just ahead! Through it all, Astera maintains her core beliefs: 1) She is destined to be fabulous 2) Everything is more fun with a cocktail.

Update: Kids Are Dumber Than I Thought

I posted about my experiences with the kids' book editing test on another site, and I got some good feedback from a woman with an almost 5-year-old daughter. Seems I forgot an important point: Most kids can't read AT ALL until they are at least 5 years old. Oops.

Well, I learned a valuable lesson. Kids' publishing is not my forte. And it's probably good that I don't have kids yet. My expectations of their abilities would be way off.
