Picking Up
The last two weeks have given me hope that the Big Idea can sustain itself past June. As you'll recall, dear reader, the plan for 2006 was to pursue the Big Idea full-force until July 1, at which time I would re-evaluate the financial, social, and overall worth of pursuing it full time into the indefinite future. As June had approached, I'd been getting a little nervous--seeing a lot of new contacts and projects, but not necessarily any money coming in to the coffers. Well, although I won't be cashing in my first million (or even making enough to pay rent on a modest studio in Bethesda), there have been several small assignments that, at the very least, will help me break even. So hooray!
An unfortunate side effect of all that new work is a somewhat lacking blogging record. Now whenever I sit down at the computer I feel compelled to follow-up on emails, do some research, or clean up a draft report. And when I do find some time to goof off (I didn't work at all this weekend and it was sheer bliss), I quickly develop an addition. Thanks, mom.
All this is to say that I don't have anything particularly interesting to write about this morning. Ms. Janie is going to her very first dentist appointment at noon, and I'll be meeting everyone for a celebratory lunch afterwards. Subsequently, I expect to be back at my computer, slaving away over the Big Idea. Which (secretly), I still rather enjoy.
