There has been something brewing. Inside. I couldn't place it, but it felt uncomfortable. Wasn't sure what it was. Then it suddenly made an appearance. I had become, suddenly, overwhelmed by all things technological.
Now this is slightly odd for me as I'm a tecky kind of girl. I love my mac and internet, email, blog hopping and all the delights to be found. But of late, I have found that it's interfering with my own process and progress.
I have a deadline to write my second book and I also have other projects that are cooking. I just couldn't seem to function because I have been spending time looking at what everyone else is doing. I don't mean that I have been googling and goggling and wasting time, I just mean it is not directed nor focused really.
I meditated on this and realised that when I was in France, writing the first book, I had no distractions.
I had just discovered one artist whom I loved, Suzi Blu, she inspired me. I stuck with her. I didn't really look at other people's work, or joined groups, etc... I took the time to develop my Craft.
Painted, Wrote, Painted, Wrote, Painted, Wrote, Dreamed, Painted, Wrote, Painted, Wrote, Dreamed.
Created.
Before you knew it, I had a plan, I had connected with myself, with nature, with the written word and my dreams. I had connected with Jules DollyWitch Craft
Then on returning and making a life back in Liverpool and being with Mr Hubs, I got caught up in everything else, taking part in e-courses, back to back, having an online community of friends who I hasten to add, have never met. This was all good. However it has been brewing, stewing and now it has to take a back seat while I get back to what it was I was doing.
Internet saps energy unless it is focused. For me, it's no good use of my time.
I want and need to connect with nature, I need to get outside, I want to connect with my community, the physical in-person one.
And oh, I realised only the other day that I have NO Marketing Plan, WHATSOEVER, Nothing, Nada. How do I market myself, how do I promote myself. Mm... good question.
No plan.
So this has to change and I am now seeking out someone whom I can work with to support this plan.
I am clearing a clearing.
Thank you for reading, much love
