Things I can do at this point to earn money: For Nidhi

1. Direct and produce my play Theory of Madness that I wrote in 2019. I'm in talks with two groups (One Delhi based and the other Girish Karnad's theatre group) to take the play on stage. Both groups are highly interested in the play, have asked for changes to the script and asked me to make a budget sheet.

2. Finish my novel.

3. Sell art on Saatchi. It's been many months since Ive painted. If I really put my mind to it I really paint well. Someone also approached me for liasoning to sell my work. (So to call this gentleman)

4. Continue to write for the newspaper I'm writing for.

5. Get a content writing, copywriting job.

6. Teach English after getting my tefl certificate. It's a two month long programme.

7. Write for a production house that proactively has been approaching me to freelance with them. The problem with them is that communication with them is staggered.

8. Get a journalism job.

9. Be more proactive and give more auditions for acting. (8 and 9 share the same spot on the priority list.)

This is fairly in the order of priority. For all the work in which I'm self-employed I have to get out of my comfort zone, pick up the phone and make calls. I find it a little difficult to do that and I feel inhibited.
