Lexcursions – Business advice for creatives
1 May 2014 | Published in Archive of Everything, Blog, Featured, Law Society Journal, News, Writing | Comment
I didn't plan to become a lawyer.
Don't think I ever planned for anything much. That's the problem really. You see, I was supposed to become a writer, not a lawyer. Instead, I've just resigned myself to thinking that law is probably the best paid writing gig going.
But recently, I received an email that rekindled my interest in writing as a career: "Personal Business Advice for Creatives … Anyone working in advertising, animation, film design, illustration, music, performance, writing – or almost any other creative pursuit – can get one hour of expert business advice at no cost."
I signed up straight away.
I received an email from facilitator and mentor, Monica Davidson: "I am looking forward to hearing about your business … So we can make the most out of our time together please can you email me … your top two challenges in business today."
I wrote back: "My top two challenges are: finding time to pursue my creative business and making it pay as much as – or even half as much as – my 'professional' business."
The day of my appointment arrived. I met Monica at the Business Enterprise Centre in the city. She asked me about myself, and my creative business.
"Well, I'm a lawyer …"
"I'm not writing down 'lawyer'," said Monica. "Just so you know."
I went on, and told her about my articles for the Journal.
"I've just submitted my 50th article."
"That's great."
"And every single article, I've submitted on time," I said, keen to emphasise my professionalism.
"Really great," she said. "But let me get this out there right away: you'll never make as much money as a writer as you do as a lawyer. Not even half as much."
"You never know," I said. "I might be a really good writer and really crap lawyer."
Monica said she was sure I was good at both. And it turns out that she's a writer as well. She said she uses her paying gig – providing business advice – to support her creative pursuits.
"Wait, that sounds like what I do," I said. "Are you saying that what I'm doing now – supporting my creative work with the law – this is as good as it gets?"
She put down her pen.
"Let me tell you about unicorns and workhorses," she said.
"Okay …"
"Unicorns are beautiful and precious and special, but you can't feed a family on a unicorn."
"I reckon you could get a few good meals out of one."
"What I mean is that unicorns are important but they can't carry a heavy load."
"Oh you mean you can't carry a family on a unicorn."
"It sounds to me like your regular column is becoming more like a workhorse," she said. "I bet nowadays you can just churn out an article without too much effort."
"I put in loads of effort," I said. "I made time to come here."
"You came here for business advice, that's a workhorse thing to be doing."
"Could be a unicorn in workhorse's clothing."
"I think you need a plan," she said. "If you want to make a business out of writing, you need to plan – just as you would as a lawyer."
"Lawyers don't plan," I said.
"You must plan for court cases, things like that?"
"Nope. The only reason I ever get anything done is because my clients are always hassling me, chasing me up to do whatever I've promised them."
"I see."
"Hey, maybe I can use that same strategy in my writing. Make a whole bunch of promises I can't keep, and then wait for people to start harassing me to deliver."
"If that sort of pressure works for you, it could be a plan."
A plan! My hour was up, but I left with a plan. A simple plan – over promise and never deliver – but it's a plan nonetheless. Methinks it might just work.

… you think it's real but in reality when you reach out, there's nothing to touch.
'In oral discourse, …there is nothing to backlog into outside the mind, for the oral utterance has vanished as soon as it is uttered.' 1 When you stand to speak, unlike text on a page, nothing remains of the expression of the idea, because ideas expressed orally are sound-based, and 'sound exits only when it is going out of existence.' Your awareness of or your relationship with the sound of the idea is after the sound of the idea has gone. It is like trying to catch a cloud. You think it's real but in reality when you reach out, there is nothing to touch.
Where writing establishes in the text a 'line' of continuity outside the mind… [where] the context can be retrieved by glancing back over the text selectively… always available piece meal on the inscribed page. In oral discourse this situation is different. There is nothing to backlog into outside the mind, for the oral utterance has vanished as soon as it is uttered.
Literally no tangible deposit exists of the thought or idea uttered live and orally. The minute it's spoken, the oral expression of the idea has vanished, unlike text-based ideas which remain permanently on the page. The oral expression is immediate and transient. It has no presence beyond the sound of its expression and only at the moment it is expressed.
There is no way of retracing your steps back over the ideas communicated the first time they were uttered because there is nothing left of them – they have gone.
Whatever it was you said has ceased to exist. Indeed, it started to vanish as you started to say it. 'Sound exits only when it is going out of existence.' As you uttered the idea, whatever came after obliterates in real time whatever came before. And, if your audience is not listening or present in the moment, they will miss whatever it was you said. The utterance or expression of your idea simply has no tenure.
And it is this quality that makes oral ideas both in their origin and in their expression unique. The oral demands that a very particular idea is uttered and the oral demands that it be uttered in a very particular way.
Where does this leave your audience and importantly your live oral message?
The magic of an oral communication performance – it's sound; what therefore do you say about what you know, why and how do you say it when communicating ideas orally?

What Is Crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a concept that allows a person to effectively raise money for virtually anything legal. Like: get out of debt, pay off your mortgage, take a vacation or it can be used to help fund your favourite charitable endeavour like a church or mosque or a hospital.
Crowdfunding companies have setup millions of campaigns and have raised billions of dollars. But with traditional crowdfunding companies you are all alone and if have a small network of friends you may not be able to raise enough money for your purpose.
Why CoOp CrowdFunding?
At CoOp CrowdFunding we help each other in a cooperative way, we build upon our friendships and use leverage to help each of us raise all the money we need for our individual purposes.
Ask yourself threse Three questions
1.Do you need money to fund any purpose right now?
2.Do you know 3 or more friends who need money for any purpose right now?
3.Do you have €35 to start your very own CoOp CrowdFunding campaign right now?
If you answered yes to all of the above let's go - make your donation, set up your campaign and start getting you funded right now!
How Do I Get Started?
It's super easy and affordable to get started. Just register and setup your campaign for €10 and to participate in a cooperative way give €25 to help fund CoOp Crowdfunding campaigns.
Once you're setup, there are just 3 simple doable steps to receive funds daily.
1. Register €35 (€10 setup/€25 donation)
2. Help 3 friends register
3. Have your friends duplicate steps 1 and 2
That's it!
It's not MLM or network marketing and there's nothing to buy, nothing to sell - it's just friends helping friends!

In a below post from Nov. 9th, 2009 on this blog, I had covered the earliest British Disney books, concentrating on publications by Dean & Sons Ltd. Recently, I've become aware of another early Disney book by Dean which I had not mentioned in that post: Mickey Mouse Sails For Treasure Island. This is the British edition of the US book by Whitman with the same title from 1933. The US edition was part of a popular series called 'The Big Little Books' while the British edition carried the tag 'Big Midget Book'. The British edition featured a different cover illustration, which curiously included a white Pluto, than the US one. It is undated, but probably either from 1933, the date of the US edition, or mid-1930s.
The copy whose image is above was recently sold on ebay for 100 British pounds (=app 157 US dlrs). Another copy had been earlier sold by Hake's for 185 US dlrs.
As I had noted in my earlier post, Dean had also published a book simply titled as Mickey Mouse with the tagline 'Great Big Midget Book', which might have been the British edition of one of the Big Little Books.

There are two Big Midget Books titled just "Mickey Mouse".
One of them, showing Mickey walking and waving on the cover, is the British edition of the first American MM Big Little Book (which was also called just "Mickey Mouse," and which included the Gottfredson gypsy story from 1931).
The other Midget Book titled just "Mickey Mouse" shows Mickey beating a drum on the cover. I'm not sure what story it includes. (Maybe it's an alternate edition of the gypsy story—but I haven't ascertained this yet.)

I had found the outfit for the Luna Jubilee colour challenge..........
The concert would not start till rather late at night. While waiting, I tp'ed around our beloved universe and found myself in a very nice harbour area. Peaceful and well made.
Here my COCO dress and me, hanging around with nothing much to do in the Untroubled Sound.
I sat on a bench, thinking of the latest developments on the stock exchange. Not likely, really , but who knows what goes through an avatar's mind?
I I loved the place, with its rusty anchors and shipyards.
But, well, I simply could not stay awake till 4 o'clock. So decided to immediately tp to the jazzclub. Before leaving, I noticed the SIM had a kind of dormitory for backpackers and other wandering souls.
I arrived at a totally empty club. Of course: the concert was to start 3 hours later. I sat down and looked around. On the table in front of me, I saw a bottle of Jazzberry Wine (have to admit that Photoshop served it).
I asked my RL person to play some nice jazz music and enjoyed dancing all alone after midnight.
I'm used to dancing alone, but enough is enough, I'll try to get back when the music is playing and people are around to create a semblance of togetherness. After a couple of tunes, I had to find a bed, had to, had to............... zzzzzzzz
I went back to the Untroubled Sound and had a good night's sleep - although the accomodations weren't that comfortable, to say the least.
In the morning it was time for Luna's challenge. And what a pleasure to see all those fun, sweet and beautiful posts - inspired by the strange fruit colour.
What I'm wearing (things I haven't blogged before that is):
Dress: Swing dress in Art Print/ red from COCO
Hair: BC322 , Rock Me in golden from Skull&Bones (I got it at the Hair Fair)
Maritime SIM: Untroubled Sound
Jazzclub at Costa Rica : Jazz Nights

(Female, trans, gender non-conforming only; experience required) We are looking for individuals to instruct vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards daily. A basic or advanced knowledge in the instrument you are teaching is required, and while not necessary, experience in a band setting is always a plus! You will be working with participants who have varying levels of experience in music. Some have taken lessons before but others have never even touched an instrument in their lives. This position is a great chance to pass on your super sweet skills! Don't worry; there will be an opportunity to meet with your fellow instructors at least once before camp to decide on a curriculum or teaching method. Lessons are frequently team taught as well.
TIME: generally mornings
(Female, trans, gender non-conforming only; experience required) On the first day of camp, campers form their own bands with whom they write an original song together throughout camp. Band coaches are seasoned musicians who are available at Ladies Rock Camp as a resource to camper bands during daily practice time, and at Girls Rock Camp are assigned to 1-2 bands to work with all week. Band coaches help campers with all aspects of working in a band: setting up, tuning, songwriting, learning to play as a group, learning to listen to one another, communicating effectively, supporting each other, and stage presence – while not taking creative control. The goal is for the campers to write and create their own music, the coach's job is to help if needed! The coach will also help campers break down instruments after each practice and at the show. Coaches should also be prepared to mediate the occasional musical dispute. Knowledge of more than one instrument, and the songwriting process, is helpful!
TIME: generally afternoons
(any gender; experience preferred) Roadies move and set up equipment (guitar amps, keyboards, bass amps, guitars, basses, drums, PAs) when and where necessary at camp each day; tuning and gear knowledge is a plus. Roadies are especially needed for the end-of-camp showcase, during which they will move, set up, and tune equipment. This job is not to be underrated and helps camp run smoothly and efficiently!
TIME: Shifts are generally mornings 8-9am, afternoons 12:00-1:30pm and 4:45-5:45pm
(any gender; experience required) Technicians will be in charge of repairing and tuning equipment whenever needed before camp, during camp, and at the showcase. This will involve changing strings, drum heads, tuning, and setting up guitar amps, guitars, bass amps, basses, drums, and sometimes PAs. A general knowledge of more than one instrument is encouraged but not necessary. It would be helpful if this could be combined with roadie duties, but not necessary.
TIME: Shifts available before camp and during camp
(Female, trans, gender non-conforming only; experience required) Instructors will teach various hour-long interactive workshops in an assembly setting based on their interest and experience. These will include but are not limited to social issues workshops related to gender roles, girls and women in the media, girls and women in rock history, relational aggression (girl bullying), anti-oppression, social justice, self-defense and creative workshops including zine-making, silk-screening, button-making, art instruction, poster-/flyer-making, etc. Experience working with youth and/or adults in an educational setting is a plus!
TIME: Shifts available. Mornings approx 9am-noon, afternoons approx 1pm-5pm
(any gender; no experience) Great news for folks with no music experience, there will be PLENTY of work for you if you want to help! Throughout the week you will be called upon to help with daily morning set up, camper check-in/out, hall monitoring, workshop room setup/breakdown, food set up and take down, serving lunch to volunteers, merch sales, volunteer break room maintenance, errand-running, general clean-up duties, and other tasks that help everyone have a great day at rock camp!
TIME: Shifts available all day starting at 8am, ending around 6pm

SWITCH-UP is a very simple process created to help your customers get the best diet for their dogs and keep them coming back for more, while helping dogs lead happy and healthy lives. Our independent stockists are very important to us, as we realise the importance of good customer service!
The process is simple; You sell your 2kg of one of Pooch & Mutt's natural, grain-free, functional foods at the normal price and give your customer one of our SWITCH-UP fliers (with your details and the details of the purchase filled in). All your customer has to do is fill in their details on the form and send it back to us with a proof of purchase and an empty bag of their old food. Once we receive this, we will send them a cheque for £5. Easy as that!
To get your shop involved email email@example.com or call Samantha on 020 30 111 567. We will then send you some fliers for your store and add your store to our online stockist finder. The foods can be purchased direct (min order £150) or from wholesalers including Vital, Pedigree, Armstrong Richardson and NVS.
This offer is so good that we have had to limit it by only printing a set amount of fliers, so get yours now before they run out!!
Send us any photos of your shop participating in the SWITCH-UP campaign, as we'd love to promote you!
Full terms and conditions are on the flier, which can be downloaded here

Many have already heard but yet, we will be closing the store at the end of March.
But DON'T PANIC! We will still have our website,
Facebook, and Amazon for ordering. AND, we will have our products at one of the other wonderful local stores in Dewey.
Also if you order online and your from the Dewey or Bartlesville area you are welcome to select the pick up option and we will contact you when we are coming to town and bring your order with us to save on
We are very sorry for the inconvenience, this has been a very difficult decision for us to make as we love
seeing each and every one of you. However We feel it is the way God is leading us. It opens us up for a few shows again as well as devoting more time in making the amazing products you love.
Please keep checking back for updates on where you can still shop for our products.
Thank you again and God Bless ~ Doug & Melinda
