I need a myrmidon.
Yeah, I know – not a word I had in my vocabulary either, until this morning. However, since I added a Dictionary.com Word of the Day widget on my Romantic Realty Squidoo, I stop by every so often to learn a new word… today it’s myrmidon.
1. (Capitalized) A member of a warlike Thessalian people who followed Achilles on the expedition against Troy
2. A loyal follower, especially one who executes orders without question.
Doesn’t that second definition sound like every writer’s dream? Someone to do all those time sucking tasks that need to be done so you don’t end up on the 11:00 news found living in a house of neglect in your PJ’s, sitting at your keyboard – that would be nice.
What would you get that denizen of a hunk to do for you? Oh, look where my mind went, ummm. I must be thinking about the up coming speaker for the Los Angeles Romance Authors (LARA). One Mr. Jimmy Thomas – cover model extraordinaire!
Jimmy Thomas is a powerhouse of creative talent. His new romance cover model business will bring him more exposure (tee hee) and capital than if he worked with a publisher like others in the biz. Smart. He is a martial artist and trainer, a body builder, a dancer, a teacher of sports medicine aaaand an architect. Bet ya didn’t see that comin’! I tell you, this guy is on fire. I’m guessing his talk will be of interest to the 50-some romance authors that will be in attendance on the 13th of December, 2009 at the Barnes & Noble bookstore in Encino. I’ll be there! OMG, what should I wear? Those red stilettos in the attic? I’ll need a ladder to get up ther… oh wait --
Where’s my myrmidon?
