Pulling the Trigger

It’s now or never! Or so the old saying goes. I’ve been telling myself - and everyone else - that I was going to start a website for several years now. People keep asking me about it. I keep assuring them that I will. Still, it’s far too easy to put off things like this. The excuses roll off the tongue:

• I’ve never done a website before.

• I have no idea where to start.

• It’s too hard figure out.

• I’m too busy.

• I need more products to put on it.

• I really just want to design and make stuff.

• I’m an artist, not a promoter.

• What if it’s no good.

And so on and so forth. You know the drill.

But eventually, there comes the point when you have to admit to yourself that these are all just excuses. They mask the real issue. And what’s that? Well, that I’m just scared. I’m afraid that I’m going to fall flat on my face. And you know what? Maybe I will. Maybe this entire enterprise will amount to a whole lot of nothing. Maybe no one will visit my site. Maybe no one will wanna buy anything that I’m making. But, on the other hand, I’ll never know until I try.

So here goes nothing. Or everything. Welcome to my new website. Welcome to my work, to my passion, to the thing I enjoy doing most of all. I hope you enjoy looking around. I hope you like what you see. I really hope you’ll buy something. At the very least, I hope you’ll drop me a line and let me know what you think.
