Help? No thanks

One of the most puzzling (?) aspects of the wanderingscribe blog has been the constant refusal to accept help. We're not talking about charitable handouts but good solid suggestions of where to get help to pull herself out of the supposed dilemma. The author was (so we are led to believe) too proud to accept charity as her high moral values wouldn't allow her to do so. However, she had no qualms about lying to members of the clergy for gain or falsely posing as a member of hospital staff in order to get reduced prices in a staff canteen. Any suggestions of how to gain employment suggested by readers of her blog were jumped upon by her loyal "fans" with reasons why she couldn't/shouldn't/wouldn't accept them. She didn't even have to anser herself. Was she holding out for a book deal? It's certainly telling that some of her readers who made such suggestions on her earlier blog entries are now beginning to realise that any old job or way out of the self imposed predicament was not the one she was holding out for. No sirree..... Perhaps she was inspired by the iraqi woman who recieved a nomination for an award and thought that this was what she deserved. Certainly, by the 24th April she already had engaged the services of an Agent. Only two days later, the BBC makes mention of the Iraqi womans nomination ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4847424.stm ). Yes sirree Bob. No menial job is good enough for our lass. She's holding out for a book AND an award !!
