Introduce Yourself : Hi all! by Katherine Arcus

I'm new to this forum and still learning my way around. I've been working in the arts in one capacity or another for fifteen years, now. For the past decade I have split my time between stage managing in the theatre and working as a writer's assistant/story coordinator in television, two jobs which are actually more closely related than you might think. I recently started my own business, hiring out my services as a freelance writer's assistant - something I have actually been doing in an informal capacity since 2007 - in an effort to take a little more control over my life. I love my work with a huge passion, but as I'm sure everyone here knows, the uncertainty of a life in the arts can be wearing. Starting the business has been a real help in that regard. I''m looking forward to exploring the forums and finding new friends who understand both the joy and the wear-and-tear of this crazy life. Katherine
