Before They Were Writers

My name is Kelsey and I’m a cocktail server.

“Hi, Kelsey.”

I’ve never been ashamed to be a cocktail server, in fact I have always kind of enjoyed being able to do well in a job where I get to meet new people (even if most days I have convinced myself of otherwise) and the perks of working somewhere where I get to indulge (occasionally) on high end tequilas and whiskeys has never been half bad either–to quote Hemingway: “Write drunk; edit sober.” Dually noted Ernest. 

Here, fellow bloggers, I provide for you a list of odd end jobs that those of our ilk (albeit higher) took part in prior to their lives as literary geniuses. 

cheers,

k
