I have been in a real funk lately. It’s stupid because the more time I spend despairing, the less time I spend sorting myself out and then I fall even farther behind.
So I need to sketch out (har har) a plan for how to proceed. I have to lay out my own infrastructure before I can feel comfortable producing. I have ideas but if I don’t have a clear path to take with them, they’re just going to die on the vine.
So I’m going to make my website the central hub. Each page (except the blog, which I mirror at Substack) will be for a different thing I want to offer. Then when you go to the page, you’ll find links for where to go buy the whatever-it-is.
First priority needs to be some digital downloads. I had a couple great ideas for that and they’ll be in two different places: Ko-fi and Etsy. I need some things that let people support my endeavor without costing a lot and that can potentially fund my living situation — which is very low-cost right now, but still costs — without me having to go looking for any random employer who will underpay me and be just a little too far away such that I am constantly killing myself to get back and forth. (Wow am I glad I’m not writing that on social media.) Anyway, that’s just a distraction from what I need to be doing. This is what I most regret not doing. Time to stop regretting.
Have a look around at the website and see what you think. I’m just as bothered as you are that there’s no art yet. I need to figure that out. Fortunately, the WordPress theme lets me do header photos and I may just bang some stuff up there for right now.
Anyway, I had been quiet for too long. So here I am. RAWR.
