It's funny how things go sometimes. I just got that beautiful Pearl (well it's been a month now), and all I wanted to do was play around with it, but that's not how it worked out. Instead, all sorts of great but busy-making things have been happening, like planning a children's book, and having to suddenly seriously think about what my prices are/would be after receiving multiple random quote requests. I'm not a planner, but I'm trying to become better. I also declared myself the sole proprietor of Gamewell Press by filing a "doing business as" form. Did you know that until I filed that form Gamewell Press was an illegal alias and every time I mentioned my press, Gamewell Press, I was committing fraud? I'm pretty sure that for me at least, it's a crime on par with having a beer on the stoop or jaywalking, but the legalese on the website that explains everything made it sound like I was Al Capone. So that was kind of cool and I walked around for a few days alternately whispering "Gamewell Press" out of the side of my mouth and elbowing Glendon in the ribs to "keep it quiet, ya hear?" or referring to it as the press that dare not speak its name.
The main activity that's been sucking away all of my time and preventing me from blogging is a web design class I'm taking. The class runs for three hours twice a week (after work) for four weeks, and the last class is tomorrow. It's been really great, and I'm well on my way to building a website, but it's been a lot of work in a short period. Also after spending so much time looking at other websites and messing with Dreamweaver, the last thing I want to do is go back to the computer and blog. I'll be back fairly soon, but I wanted to give a reason for my absence and post a sneak peak of my website to be.
