Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I did the one thing I thought I would never do. I quit my job. I left the transcription work because, since my original boss died this past summer, the work has not been the same, the organization that he worked for is not what he built it up to be, because he was the one to develop it, but obviously they don't share his work ethic, his charisma, and his enunciation capacity when it comes to recording voices. I tried it, really I did, since August I've worked with nearly nothing to show for it, less than 400 bucks, which isn't spit for the amount of work I had to do just to get that money in the first place. So, I bit the bullet and am going out on a limb praying really, really hard, that the novel manuscript I worked on, slaved over, for at least a year, will net me a contract with a paying publisher.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hi , Quitting your job must have been the right thing to do. So I'm glad I did it. $400 since August for a bucet load of work is pitiful. I surely do hope your novel is published. You'll have to keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I think you're wonderfully brave. I'm praying with you that you get a contract with a paying publisher. That sounds like it would be a great job...I'm a book fanatic. nancie wrote: I did the one thing I thought I would never do. I quit my job.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hey, , Sounds like a tough decision, but worth it. I wish you all the best with your novel. How far along are you in your submission process?
