Possibilities....

Recently my work situation has turned into one of those no-win
situations--my boss has decided that no matter what I do, I cannot
please her, and she wants me out.
Please notice that I said "work" and not "career". While I like what
I do (except for this), it is not the be-all of my life. And the *good*
thing about it is that my husband is encouraging me to explore the idea
of taking my storytelling to a new level, to perhaps the college level,
and explore some possibilities. I've been saying from the start, nearly
9 yrs. ago, that in 10-15 yrs. I hoped to be able to do telling, playing
the Celtic harp, singing, and my poetry fulltime. It's *still* going to
be about that long for the harping part, but maybe not for the telling
and teaching and writing.
I am very excited, and somewhat scared. I couldn't sleep much last
night....
Sorry to bore you folks, but if anyone has any ideas that might be
applicable to me of how you get yourself marketed, how you get people to
look at and listen to you, please let me know!
This isn't exactly performance anxiety, but it's related!
