mythteller | Selling Out and Paying for It

Our show for Monday night has sold out! Yay!

I only hope that we can sell out our upcoming show in March (Tristan and Iseult). We're going to need at least 60 people to attend to make ends meet.

I was invited to tell a French story last night at Le Divan Orange on St. Laurent. It went okay, but it's obvious that I need more practice and exposure to telling in French. I've been a bit lax about that this year; the publishing of my new book is taking up all my energy.

But once the book comes out, I'll need to go on a storytelling spree to promote it. Now is not the time to drop the ball 'cause it's an expensive one to drop now. I'm investing alot of my own money into this project, so I need it to work or it'll break the bank.

This would be alot less stressful if I was supported by the Canada Council, but you need to be published on your own (for credibility) before they'll consider giving you any grant money. I've got the basic structure for my next book set, but I won't be able to fund it all on my own again. Support Canadian Culture!
