Etsy?
I'm having a really hard time envisioning the Etsy shop being a real thing. I think part of the issue is that when I think about having the Etsy shop running, I imagine being a happy, active seller who checks my email, shop, Twitter, forums, etc, etc, etc multiple times a day and crafts away to keep the shop well stocked. That "me" is so far from current me, I can't see how I get there.
I'm intimidated, flat out. And I'm worried that getting the shop open isn't going to change anything. I'm just going to stress over it and worry about getting a sale. Maybe the first sale or two will be really quick, I have FF, but I don't want to be one of those shops that collects cobwebs. I don't want to put my time and energy and money into something that wont work.
Only, surprise!, I'm already invested. I have no where to go but up, and of course I don't think of it like that.
I know so many things, but I don't feel them. I feel slow, tired, uninterested, numb, hopeless, lost, and more then anything else, I feel like it's my own fault because I have no reason to feel like this.
