MediaSherpa

This is the name I've chosen for my 'author development' business.

Author development?

Yeah, okay, here's the thing, maybe you're a celebrity, or a high profile somebody and you want a book... but you're not a writer and you're really not all about that 'lock yourself in a quiet room for 3-months' thing. But you really, REALLY want a book. Paris has one, right? So, what are you gonna do?

You're going to hire an Author Developer (moi) which is a fancy term for ghostwriter! Though I do more than just ghostwrite.

By design it sounds unglamorous and dull, but diligent and hardworking. Wait, am I still talking about the name? Not really.

Writing is hard work. Actually, let me amend that. Writing is easy... every waiter in L.A. has a screenplay in his back pocket. Getting paid (ie: making a living) is the hard part. It's unglamorous... dull (especially after 92 revisions) . It requires diligence and hard work.

I chose the unglamormous moniker to remind me what my real mission is. I am talent. I have ideas... I have a mission. I also have bills to pay...

and so to pay them I have developed the Clark Kent personna -- MediaSherpa... Sherpa/Schlepper. Same thing. I can get my clients to the top, but I'm having trouble getting myself off the dime. What UP with that? Hmmm? What's holding me back?

Maybe it's the cool outfit I'm missing... everyone knows the super powers are incidental to the tights. And, hey, tights ARE back in this year. I need the superwriting tights... right? Or,

is it just me?
