Jennifer Parker: It’s like Doc’s always saying –
Marty McFly: I know, I know. If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.
Jennifer Parker: That’s good advice, Marty.
I want to put my mind to something. There’s something I want to accomplish.
But I’m fearful. I’m fearful of failure. And let’s face it – no one wants to fail.
I especially don’t want to end up riding in this boat. No Regretsy, please. (Thanks to jD for the link to that one. Chicken poncho? Really? There’s a Regretsy blog too – go at your own risk and prepare to be thoroughly disturbed.)
By writing it here, by telling you what’s up, I feel like it’s real and there is no way to go but forward. And maybe I need that push.
Next week – the week after J-term has ended but before second semester begins – will be the launching of Project: Etsy. [What’s Etsy? A homemade marketplace online. Everything from wonderful to creepy.] I’ll need a name, some sort of product, a dream of what is to come. Ideas have been floating around in my head for the last couple weeks; it’s time to bring them to fruition.
So I’m putting my mind to it and jumping [into a frozen lake, yes – see previous post – and into what will now be referred to as Project Etsy]. To land flat on my face? Maybe. But here’s hoping not.
there's no place like gnome.
