Whether it is a new document on the computer, or a new notebook, or sketchbook. There’s something about all that white space that just fills me with hope.
Because in it, there is so much promise of what could be. A beautiful drawing. A heartbreaking story. A life-changing observation.
So I spend a lot of time looking at it, getting ready. Smoothing the paper and sharpening my pencils. Or - depending on the medium - scrolling through templates and selecting fonts.
In fact, I spend so much time preparing, that I often stagnate. Because I get terrified that I will ruin those pages with a creation that is less than perfect.
I’m telling you this, because I have this shiny new blog.
And I don’t want to post until it’s ready. Until I have the perfect design and layout. Until I’ve written what this blog is about, and set up all my pages. Until I’ve come up with the perfect ‘first post’ with the perfect ‘first picture’.
But if I did that, it might never happen.
So I’m just going to jump in. The other stuff will happen. In time.
