I have been making excuses about not writing for years. At first, it was because of school. I have too much homework to do. Too many papers.As an English major, I wrote constantly. If only I didn’t have all these mandatory assignments I would spend all of my free time writing. Well, I graduated. Two years ago! and I havent written a blink since. Unless you string tweets and facebook rants together – and that might get you a page or two – maybe.
My more recent excuses have been due to computer sharing – and now I have a laptop – so excuses are now inexcusable.
What have I actually been doing? making stuff. lots of pretty pretty stuff. Jewelry mostly. But also, bookmarks, keychains, cell phone charms, scarfs, armwarmers, you name it I can make it. And I sell it too. In fact I am so overwhelmed by my orders, that part of the reason I got this laptop is to help organize my inventory. I really want to take my “hobby” to the next level and turn it into a business. How can I do this with a full time job, a husband that I barely see as it is, trying to get pregnant,helping out with my elderly grandmother,two mischevous cats, and all of my girl friends spread throughout the country? what does this have to do with writing? everything.
This blog is dedicated to writing about crafting. How I do what I do. Why I do it. What inspires me. How to sell it. How I try to sell it. Who I admire. Who helps me along the way. How I can help you. Follow this blog to watch my journey as I craft a business.
