I just accomplished a little hurdle today on my journey to establish my new “secret” project! It seems like a little thing, but getting those post office box keys felt like a major achievement. Especially because I don’t yet have any mail to come to that post office box – it’s like a little reminder that now I’ve shelled out a bit more precious money, so I can’t give up. I need to keep plugging forward.

You see, I’m going to (finally) start my own business. (Go me!) It may not be a huge earner, and it may not turn a big profit for a while. It may never turn a big profit. But I’m very excited about it, and I can’t wait to get my first client.

I’ve even got plans for that. I may have to beg, and I will probably have to give out quite a few freebies. For this particular endeavor, I had thought to drop off at businesses, but I have a feeling I may have more luck at libraries. And perhaps bookstores – I’ve always thought that if I had my own business I would be sticking my business cards in relevant books at bookstores. Can you get in trouble for that? Maybe not if I ask the manager. Or maybe that would flag.

Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission. I read that once.

Or used bookstores.

Well, anyway! Victory for Nicki! Yay!
