writer seeking patron

I am sucked into this show Without A Trace. I should really go to bed, but I can't decide what I want to read. I went to a used bookstore and bought four books, then there's the book I'm reading now (Pattern Recognition) and Dog Years, which I just got from Omar. I've already started it, so I'm technically already reading that one too. Obsessed. Jack is lying down by the wall to my left. He looks like a fawn the way he's lying down with his eyes closed and paws curled beneath him. He'll probably come to my bed to sleep beside me when I finally decide it's time for sleep. Rip Rap and Vulcan editing both coming up around the same time. Applying for odd jobs so I can start any kind of savings. Ha. Will write for money. Submitting to contests, but I have this problem where I can't decide what to send so I want to write something new. I've started two stories that I feel really good about. I happen to be a genius, bred from geniuses. I've decided that there's no reason why I can't be a great writer. I can rise from mediocrity. Other people do it all the time, although it is a lot harder these days. I'm thinking of writing a craigslist ad for "Writer seeking patron." Why not? Rich people go on craigslist all the time. It wouldn't hurt to try. Of course, if you are reading this now and would like to be my patron, please respond to this blog, and I will get back to you shortly. I'm very nice. Also, being my patron will probably save your soul. Just a theory, but I think God likes my patrons more than other people. It's like a free pass into heaven.

You might as well put an ad in Craig's List. You never know what you might get; if you made it writer/editor, you're almost doubly guaranteed a response.
