Being Professional

I want to write.  I want to sell books.  I do not want think of myself as a professional person.  The truth is that I am self emplyed.  I am a business person and I have to start acting like one.  I am having a website created.  I am paying someone to build me one and they are taking me sersiously.  For the first time, someone that I don't know is looking at me, as if I am a professional writer.  That is a good feeling.  I sent them three pictures of myself and they do not like any of them.  I don't think I take a good picture.  So they suggested that I get a head shot done by a professional.  That means that I have to spend more money.  They said that I am selling myself and that I should have a good picture of myself.  I am listening to what they are saying, that is what I am paying them for.  So Monday morning I am going to go in and get my picture taken.

Do I want to go and have my picture taken and leave the comfort of me sitting in front of the computer?  I do not, but I am going to for my writing career.

I never thought of myself as a professional.  I am now thinking of myself as a professional and someone is taking me seriously and it is time that I start taking myself sersiously.

When I have my book signing I am now thinking of what I should wear.  Don't think jeans and a tee shirt is going to work anymore.
