I have been super busy trying to get my feet into this Planner Community. For over a year and half, I've been hiding my stationary obsession from even my sisters - and we are SUPER DUPER close.
I'm an extreme introvert who suffers from Anxiety. In the face of that, I think I do well in public. I will say that I really suck at paying attention when someone is talking. My mind either is thinking of something I want or need to do; or I am thinking (and sucking at waiting) of a burning question I want to ask mid-sentence.
That whole ordeal is the story of my life.
Every time I learn something new in the planning community, something else catches my attention before I fully grasp what I am learning. Same for writing. I have a few novels saved in my laptop not quite complete; short stories too.
I am constantly reading at least 3 books at one time. Well, let me clarify that, I am always in the middle of a self-help, inspirational, or writing novel on any given day. All while reading a fiction one (and finishing them quickly).
But back to planning. I had a few beautiful designs saved in Silhouette Studio to print and sell in my Etsy shop but they were lacking my personal touch. It had me dragging my feet when it came to actually releasing something.
I kept reflecting and wondering what made me different from the hundreds of other planner chicks out there. Well now I know; I can draw and very much enjoy it.
When I incorporate everything I have any interest in, I come up with some cute girly ORIGINAL stickers. So now I know the direction I want to take this blog and as well as my Etsy shop: and they are two distinctly different ideas and designs. (I will say I am toying around with releasing the hand drawn items in Etsy and designing FREE companions on this site.)
I think that will help me relax a little and give me a little purpose to actually grow in all of this. I've said before, the hardest part for me is putting myself out there.
Despite the fact that I talk so much about me, I am really private about what is important to me; including my kids. For a long time I couldn't shake the fear of being incorrectly judged by people. (I have a whole blog post planned on the why's of this, don't worry). But I'm saying screw that and I am just going to start putting out what I like and what interests me and hopefully there will be others who will agree.
SO... in honor of all that jazz, I will be releasing the designs I intended to sell here throughout the week. I am trying to get a schedule going that I will actually follow, so bare with me because I have some GREAT, ORIGINAL items coming! So here is a treat while you wait!
Until next time,
-Dom
