After a week to dwell on it
Dec. 20th, 2013 03:19 pmand surf the web, and read an old favorite book again, and talk more with Mike and Marty, and spend part of each day skimming job openings ...
I come back around to what I knew at the beginning. That I'm happiest when I'm taking on projects I believe in, and seeing them take shape in reality. I want to be part of something where I can point at it and say "I'm doing that" or "I made that thing" or even "this thing happened because of me".
I have dozens of ideas, some crazy, some with potential, swirling around in my head at all times. But ideas in my head can't become reality. It's going to take writing the words, making the connections, maybe pouring the bricks.
So, first up on the hit parade: teach myself to produce output. And I may as well do it here on LiveJournal, where I already have a paid-for place to post. Down the line I will need to set up a dedicated page, but I'll plan to have echoes here as well.
