Well, another step towards my end goal!  One very small step at a time....

I have had a lot of steps this semester towards the end goal I have.  In fact, I am so certain of at least attempting to get to this end that I figure I might as well share it.  These are such slow steps that I am not envisioning anything happening in my immediate future, nor would it be wise to juggle so much with all my homework, but I believe I can confidently strut towards something that resembles this dream of mine.

Here is my dream, my goal, my aspiration:  to write patterns excessively, and to sell objects minimally.

I even have a website already.  (No, I will not be posting its address yet.  Unfortunately, it needs a lot of work before that event!)  I have commissions already.  I am close to making an eBook of patterns already.  I have plans to register a small business of sorts once I generate enough capital to pay for the cost of the documents required to set one up--or maybe I should say if I generate enough capital.

I have very loose plans, almost all of them hanging on the end of a thread of hope.  I throw around "if" and "maybe" a lot, knowing that, should no one wish to purchase the eBook or buy an object, I will have no certainties.

Why am I writing all this out?  I do not know.  Perhaps it is the faint hope that I am going to make it, that I will eventually get there.  As one person said to me, this is something that I must be willing to jump into, risks and all.

If you know me, you know how much I hate the idea of falling--seeing that I weep at the sight of roller coasters and almost crawl down the side of a ski hill.  Risks are not in my nature!  Yet risk I will this time.
