Okay- my first blog post. It's a little intimidating since I'm not sure if I'm capable of being a good blogger, but I'm not gonna let my ego stop me from keeping up with technology. Today I'm trying to get my website up and running and this is part of that process. I'm three cups of coffee deep (Starbucks French Roast), so I figured it's time to set this thing up.
Maybe the first topic I should discuss is how overwhelming the internet is, since it's been on my mind lately. As a fledling web designer, the competiton is stifling - so when it comes to creating a site selling your work, my best advice is to not look around the web too much, because there are just so many people that are better at design than you. Whenever that feeling of inadequacy hits, I try to think back to something a small guitar shop owner I met said to me: I was in the shop with my boyfriend who was trying out guitars and the owner asked if I played. I said "not very well, not as good as I'd like to." He said that anyone who's ever tried to play the guitar, even the best musicians, have said that. He was right. Nobody wakes up great at anything, it all takes practice. It seems that anything that's worthwhile is all about the pursuit...
