Two Steps Forward…

Posted on | December 14, 2009 |

I‘ve spent the last week working on new art website which has caused eyes to cross and redden in a fairly unattractive way.  Yesterday I made 5 calls to Technical Support and was very grateful for the patience of a young man named Matt.  But, at the end of the day, all I had was a headache.  I think I was complicating matters.  It’s a human thing—we do that, especially when we’re in over our heads!

But I’ve taken a couple of tiny steps forward. I streamlined this site a little today.  The new art site is basically done and the art will move from here to there in a couple of days. Stayed tuned.

Meanwhile, I’ve had word that my book, The Creative Confident, is now en route from China, where it was printed, to Amazon’s warehouse here. I picture it on a ship somewhere mid-Atlantic and hope it’s in good company.  Maybe it’s next to a crate of bananas or a carton of plastic gizmos or cheap jeans.  Or maybe a box packed with a really fine book by some author we don’t yet know.  Who knows!  I’m really hoping it gets here for Christmas but know that’s a bit of a long shot what with choppy, wintry seas and all.  I’m very excited about it, have to say, and it will be great to be able to give a copy to the contributing artists and some dear friends.

Now we’re in the run-up to Christmas which has taken me by surprise after our very mild fall and way too much activity. But we’ve had some really fun pre-holiday lunches and dinners with friends and more to come next weekend.  Hope you too are having a merry time!  More soon.  New year’s resolution—blogging about something other than book and work!  There’s a whole world out there!
