On the precipice

I'm right there... a few clicks away....from putting up a website to attempt to sell custom pet portraits. It is as far as I have ever come...researching prices even, what others charge for similar work, what it will cost to have a website...

I have run out of excuses...it will cost somewhere between 60-200 bucks for a year, depending on how much promotion I want the web host to do. It's a small price to pay to possibly make money doing something I enjoy.

Some of my fears include the obvious...no one buying anything... to the oh so wishful, getting too many orders and feeling overwhelmed and taking the joy out of drawing/painting. The thing is it isn't an all or nothing deal...I can say no to orders, if I get busy or raise my prices even...it isn't a lifelong commitment ...if I am unsuccessful or if I hate it? Well just shut the site down...simple right?

So why am I here blogging instead of doing? Because procrastination is a beautiful thing...my new excuse is that I should start when I have a couple days off in a row...don't want to pay for a month with a website under construction, I want it up and running ASAP... funny hunh?

I am off today...I don't work til the afternoon tomorrow and the next day...I could start this now...but I won't...but I will soon...I am closer then I have been but still on the precipice....

Here's a sample for those that don't know me....

I swear by the end of the month (March, that is) ....I will have a website up....unless, unless I come up with some good excuses....
