ELF-A FEMALE

Guess what? Today is Alisha’s one month anniversary as my ah-mazing Editorial Assistant. After 30 days of spying on her I have decided she is a FULL ON KEEPER! I ah-dore her.
We thought a nice way to celebrate this milestone was to have her guest blah-g. It’s the first time I’ve brought someone home to meet you all (kind of like introducing a crush to your parents) but I know you will approve. So…without further ado-here is Alisha’s take on her job as my office elf (her words, nawt mine).
Thanks Alisha!!! Happy Anniversary
My One Month Anniversary
Hi everyone,
So, this is really exciting. My first guest Blah-g post. Hopefully I don’t blow it and will be asked to come back and hang out here with you in Lisi’s Blah-gosphere again. I don’t know the emoticon for “fingers crossed,” but just know that it would be inserted here.
First things first: I’m Alisha and by some massive stroke of luck, and maybe some excellent timing, I now get to work with Lisi as her Editorial Assistant. Awesome, right? Very. It’s a little bit like VH1’s Best Week Ever, only it’s Best Job Ever featuring recaps of our meetings filled with ridiculousness and hysterical laughter. We do get a lot of work done, too, though. I promise. Still, could anyone ask for anything more?
It’s been a month and I’m reflecting on my time here with Lisi, the groove I’m falling into and all of the things I’ve already learned through assisting her. I have to say to any aspiring writers out there that getting the opportunity to work with an author is such a fantastic way of developing your own writing talent, and it is, of course, endlessly intriguing to get the inside perspective of Lisi’s development process. The things I’m sure I’ll learn through osmosis just by working for Lisi are incredibly valuable, and I’m privileged to have this position.
I’ve also enjoyed getting to know many of you out there through Lisi’s http://facebook.com/thelisiharrison.com/” target=”_blank”>Facebook page and here on her Blah-g. She has some of the best, most-die hard fans around, and I absolutely love “listening in” on your comment thread conversations. Sound creepy? It is. I look forward to getting to know as many of Lisi’s fans as I can while we share with you an insider’s view of the fun we’re having over here (while we’re getting our work done, of course). Oh, and did I mention that just a step outside of Lisi’s office door is a first-rate view of the ocean? Amazing!
Okay, so that’s the great news. The happy, shiny details. Now let’s get to the dirt:
THINGS HAVE BEEN NUTS! Nuts, I tell you. And they’re only going to get nuttier from here on out. See this picture of me holding two cups of coffee?

Only my first round of several that I’ll make in a single day. Being Editorial Assistant truly epitomizes the idea of “wearing many hats.” I’m all over the place with jobs that set my brain in overdrive in one direction, then another, then another.
But guess what? I love it, and I know I’ll soon be better for it and I’m thanking my lucky stars every day.
Calling this my one month anniversary might sound a little weird to you, but Lisi did sneak in a comment once that I should probably just move a toothbrush into her office. I’m not really sure if she was kidding or not, but I’ve got that one locked in my brain space somewhere. What Lisi doesn’t know, however, is that I always bring my toothbrush with me, so I could be moving in any time now.
I’m just saying, things have been a blast, Lisi’s awesome and I’m moving in as the office elf. Stay tuned for all of the shenanigans Lisi and I are about to have!
Til next time [emoticon for "fingers crossed"],
Alisha
