Whew! Am finally back at my desk in the studio and contemplating all the work that needs doing this year. This holiday season has been a whirlwind of family activities, visiting, watching favorite Christmas movies ['A Christmas Story' is by far my fav], and just reveling in the joy of the season.
I was joking a couple days ago that I needed to get back to work so I could rest! - said oh so tongue-in-cheek of course!
Don't know about you, but learning how to use new technology is one of the key things on my January to-do list. I have a confession to make: on Jan. 27 of 2010 I wrote a post on the business blog I used to write that I didn't see a need for the then new tablet that Apple was coming out with. I said, "...Here’s my wondering: what would I, as a small solo-preneur business person, need with the iPad?..."
Sigh. Okay, bigger sigh...I have to eat those words. Santa brought me not only an iPad but the iMac - my old laptop died from Ebola virus. So sad. We had a funeral. So I have two new-to-me technologies to learn. And enjoy. I'm loving the retinal display screen of the iPad - photos look totally gorgeous; and this 21" or so screen on the new iMac is going to make my fine art photo work such a joy to do. Once I figure out how it all works.
So what will this New Year of 2013 bring? Besides:
- painting
- mosaic-ing
- showing my work in local shows and exhibits
- photography [both in building up my library of stock photos to using those photos as "canvas" for new fine art photography works]
- working on marketing [everything from social networking to work on my new website, and the other business parts of having a business]
- writing [not just my blog, but also a six-month writing program I'm starting, and finishing my first screenplay]
I'm not really sure. And that's just some of what is on my business plate. My personal plate also has some delicious items such as spending time with grandchildren, visiting with friends and family, gardening and scrapbooking [gee, I'd really like to get caught up on my scrapbooks!].
What is this new year going to bring for you?
