520    "A witty, soulful memoir about trying to make a living 
       under the burden of unwelcome truths, from the author of 
       the essay that helped ignite #MeToo in Canada. Through the
       stories of several very odd jobs, each related to the job 
       she really wants--to be a writer--poet and essayist Emma 
       Healey wrestles with identity, work and language, 
       encountering obstacle after obstacle to her ambitions, 
       including doubt whether her desire to make a living as a 
       writer even makes sense. As a teenager, she is introduced 
       by her actor/playwright mother to the role of 
       "standardized patient"--a sort of living training dummy 
       for medical students. As a recent university graduate, she
       writes software manuals for the world's leading producer 
       of online pornography, masters the art of search engine 
       optimization for a marketing firm run out of the owner's 
       bedroom, and narrowly escapes death as a research 
       assistant for a television drama. Along the way she 
       navigates dating apps, tumultuous relationships and 
       difficult misadventures, all of which she brings to bear 
       on the evolution of a voice that she is slowly learning to
       trust. For a writer trying to pay the bills, life can be a
       work in progress."--|cProvided by publisher.
