The cut price gamble seems to be paying off. In the last week, I’ve quoted my lower prices for three jobs and all have come back favourably. In fact, I’ve just completed one of the jobs and should have another completed by the end of the week.
So it is starting to work already. Lower prices means I have to work more for the money, but I’ll have more projects to work on. I suppose that is the nature of the beast. As long as I’m not working for nothing, I’ll be happy.
Some other good news is that some poems, possibly a comic strip and a short fictional piece I wrote are to be included in a new underground magazine based in Bristol. It was a non-paying gig, but might lead to something else in the future. Who knows?
I’ve also been busy passing on good karma, despite my increasingly filthy moods of late. Managed to put an illustrator friend in touch with an agency looking for some artwork, so hopefully she’ll get the job.
