Drowning In Work (or The Power of 43)

By jimdiggitydog

Well, well, well. It’s about time…

I’ve been out of the blogging business for a while and in the business of doing business. My list of open projects is currently standing at 43. Some are large, some are small. Some are fun, and some of them royally suck.

But - I’ve been working - A LOT - and I’ve not had a tremendous amount of time to blog. So - sorry for that.

I’ve made myself a vow (and by posting it here, I’m making a vow to you, too) that I will post at least a couple of times a week. And there are a couple of reasons for that.

One - I’ll keep traffic flowing in, which is ALWAYS good.

Two - (and much more importantly) it gives me an outlet. With freelancing, it becomes so important to have an outlet for the creativity that you don’t get to use.

Yeah, we all work in the creative field. But truthfully, we don’t always get to do precisely what we want to do with our creative juices. If I had my preference, I would do a lot fewer logo designs and websites, and do more writing and drawing and painting and all the esoteric little things that seem to escape a large amount of my day-to-day projects.

I’ve got 43 open projects. They’re not all creatively rich, but they pay the bills. There are some fun ones - and I can inject my own personality and fun and humor into the majority of them, but I need to have an outlet otherwise.

So:

Nice to meet you again, outlet.
