aside from the holiday thing, the friends being in town for break, the winterguard show planning, the job hunt (ugh), the fixing up the house, the new on demand cable we got for free...
i'm pretty much just setting things up for the new site. this may seem like a simple task, but it's a lot more work than i thought. some of the items on my to do list are:
- go through archives and pick posts to spotlight (it's very humbling... and mind-numbing to go back through a lifetime of writing).
- organize different sketches and pieces to print and put up for sale. figure out if kinko's will be the best place to get prints made.
- figure out how to organize items for sale using cafe press as well as creating my own thumb-nailed gallery.
- get friendly with paypal.
- select and organize lyrics for when my musical partner from arizona gets into town this saturday. this is all in hopes of recording demo and putting up samples on new site.
- wait for table coding from wabbit and then finalize new layout, templates for subpages and style sheet.
- design and code layout for rogan's new advice column
- spotlight old featured writers and beg people for submissions for future features.
- get ideas and set up for my locks of love project.
- worship range for helping me be able to afford my new domain.
- work with matt and his gracious offer to host the new site once i move.
- depending on how everything goes... get my portfolio together and start whoring myself out.
yep. i'm kinda scared even to think about everything that i need to do. battles with self doubt and fear of failure are full blown inside the pit of my stomach. but thank you to everyone i listed above and to everyone else who has been there listening to my computer mishaps, helping me get motivated and stay encouraged to go through with this and for the constant inspiration and competition supplied by all those creative souls that i try to surround myself with.
my tentative release date is Sunday, February 1st... even if everything isn't up to par yet. thank you for still hitting up the site in this lull before everything gets going. i appreciate the patience too.
mark your calendars, loves.
