Jen Frankel - Writer and General Busybody

<p>I've always been something of a Jill-Of-All-Trades, but one thing never changes: I love to create things.</p> <p>While my employment history has been spotty at best and eccentric at worst, I never stop wanting to tell create characters, imagine new worlds, and tell stories. If I can touch you or change your perspective a little along the way, I'm more than happy - I'm truly alive.</p> <p>It's not easy to make a living as an artist, so I've done a lot of other things to make ends meet, including (things get weirder as the list goes on):</p> <ul> <li>waitressing</li> <li>copywriting</li> <li>journalism</li> <li>computer tech work</li> <li>nannying</li> <li>secretarial</li> <li>sound design</li> <li>video recording</li> <li>pizza delivery</li> <li>selling antiques</li> <li>clerking at a science toy shop</li> <li>nannying in the middle of nowhere for fishermen</li> <li>chaperoning child actors</li> <li>breaking the law to help my boss get arrested, and of course</li> <li>breeding parrots</li> </ul> <p>There's a couple more I won't tell you about, but they weren't illegal - in all parts of the world.</p> <p>I've written music for a musical set in a small town gay bar and played a delivery girl turned unsuccessful stripper on stage. I've played in a basement band and fronted my own indie rock group. I've written and produced video for internet, festivals and television, and I've drawn and painted a lot of pictures. I like to think of myself as a kind of Renaissance woman, but that mostly means I wish I could play a game of Scrabble with Leonardo DaVinci. I think I'd have him, provided we could play in English...</p> <p>Mostly, I am fierce in my convictions and as pure as I possible in my intentions. I follow my heart and my integrity even when it gets me in trouble. And I share my joy and my passion as much as I possibly can, every day of my life.</p>
