Ugh
I don't know what the matter is with me. I think it might be because of winter setting in, or the lack of exercise I've been getting... but now I'm second guessing myself about the whole jumping-into-trying-to-sell-my-art thing. It's been three weeks, and I don't have a damn thing to show for it. My website isn't up, I don't have cards, I don't have anything new made... I don't know how we're going to survive if I don't start making money soon. I also feel really overwhelmed. I am very disorganized. I want to do too many things at once, and I have so many OTHER things to do, I end up thinking about what I need to do and not actually doing anything! I've lost confidence in my technical ability, as well. I knew it wasn't much to begin with, but I have a pretty good eye and a helping of intuition blended with my bits of know-how. But it's so hard going through trial-and-error for hours or even days, and ending up with absolute crap to show for it.
*sigh* Maybe I'm just depressed.
I mean, I DO have my website template up... http://lindensidhe.googlepages.com/index.htm
And I did get a bunch of things from Goodwill to destroy into something beautiful.
And I do have an order for antlers that I'm working on. (slowly, because I'm trying to find a better modeling compound, or construction method)
I guess, maybe, I just wish everything would go BANG! and I'd be in business. I'm like that, though. I get discouraged easily. This is more important to me than almost anything else, though, so I'm trying to persevere. I'm trying.
