Getting "Jobs"

So, sorry about the huge lesson last time...it happens.

So I got a few "jobs" recently, and I'm actually really excited about them.

1) I'm making a website for a film industry friend, who goes by the name Victoria LeDega. She is an awesome person, and I know I'm getting paid way less than a real professional would, but I like doing it, it helps her, and hell, it actually pays. I guess I'm stuck in an area where I'm not really sure of my creative worth, but regardless I'd do it for her anyway. I got my name in credits because of her, and I really see that as an accomplishment towards my long term goal, and I love her for it. Besides, I want to do really well on it so I can prove that I AM the shit, and then can charge out the ass when someone else wants something.

2) PR Manager. This one is going to be interesting. My guy is in a group of poets, Guilty Penmanship, and they want me to get them online exposure. I'm not completely sure of what this all entails, but I've got big plans so far because I really want them to do well. Also, just like in the first one, if they do well so do I. We'll see how this goes, but I'm hoping really well.

3) Documentary. This one is a long ways away from even being started, so I'm not so much worried about it yet. My guy wants to do a film about the poetry world (which is actually interesting, and not a whole lot of people really know what goes on) and I thought it'd be cool to help him spread the word. I really need a camera, and the one I really want is nowhere near affordable, but I'm gonna settle for whatever I can work with at the moment (and hopefully I wont have to work with it for long, because once again, I have big ideas and I would like them presented properly).

All of those opportunities will allow me to do the things I love doing and help get my name out there, so I'm really excited about them. It would be nice if it could transform from a side hustle to what I actually do with my life, but since I don't even have a main hustle, this is what it is for me at the moment. I see big things in the future; I just have to be strong enough to get over my fears and do the damn thing.
