If the mantra of..."If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself!" ...has any room for a caveat, it's that one's version of right may not be that of another's. After getting burned again from someone I trusted to build my website - and to be a part of my next mission - I've come to re-embrace a certain truth: If you are tired of placing your fate in someone else's hands, you'll have to get your hands dirty.
So here's what I've been getting dirty with:
- My new website/blog
- Domain name minutiae
- Re-branding (it's not a bad word!)
- Art making
- Art community-building
- Social media plugging
- Client handling
- E-mail databasing
- Time managing
- Life balancing
- Tutoring
- Project management
- Chauffeuring
- Drawing
- Sensible-eating (damn you adulthood)
- Bleating, cleating and....
.... and loving.
This has all been a bit of a pre-cursor to building up to something, hence the elapsed time between blog posts.... but I'm feeling good about the launch of my website. Don't put down that remote.
