Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 >> As you are not joking, Linda, let's start small, Send me money and I can start writing for a living. I am in need of a sponsor to write my autobiography. Oh and I promise you a billboard. Again we will start small, one billboard at a time. I am not joking either. << Dear Wim ~ I used to write for a living, among other things, and in one of my many cause oriented positions, I assisted in putting together a national billboard campaign. So, no...not joking. Perhaps we can seek a sponsor together. I know you are not in the US, and am a little fuzzy on where you are. Are there grants available for the arts where you are? I have some experience with writing grants and could perhaps assist you. My intention for now is to stay clear as possible during this family explosion, complete my move to NM, get settled, and then get at being what I'm here to do ("speak love through form, vision, and song") in total earnest. This includes several books which I have on draft, but have not completed or sent out feelers to publishers for. Do you have any beginning yet? An outline? A draft? You never know, with just this much, you might interest a publisher and get an advance. Perhaps we can encourage each other in our work and donate part of the proceeds of our success to the billboard campaign. (I used to always think that if I ever won the lottery, I would set up my own nonprofit, just to foster the issues I have spent a lifetime on, which is mostly the needs of hurting children.)

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Dear Linda, Just want to write to you quickly that I appreciate your post. The idea of an outline is slowly emerging… good thing is that my memory is slowly being restored over the last few years. I have reams of already written material, am actually looking for a different format than the usual autobiography. I saw a large edition of Jack Kerouac’s work, I love that format, kind of notebook like.
