(I wrote this yesterday)
Happy April 1st. I've not told any lies today, but if a good prank opportunity arises, I'll probably be all over it.
(never did do any of those)
So just a few things to let ya know.....
A) I'm working on launching an Etsy shop.
My thoughts on that: I'd like to be able to sell from this Etsy shop at some point, but beyond that, I would love to be an entrepreneur in the long run. Having a family business sounds really cool to me. I'm finding that setting up an Etsy shop, while relatively easy, is also relatively hard. I want to do this so that I can say, "I opened up my own store" (albeit online). And because its just fun!
Also opening up the store would give me a creative outlet. I love making things and having hobbies and I love the idea of a hobby being productive.
I'd also like to sell on Etsy because I'm a very symbolic person. The things I make, I like to attach meaning to and maybe, as I offer my interpretations of the products to buyers, I can make it possible for them to be blessed through them. Or they can make their own up. Or they can not assign any symbolism to these things. It's really their choice.
So, more on this as the story develops. On to the next and more at-hand thing...
B) It's been quite a while since I had a read-a-thon and I think it's time.
Obviously I can hold my own read-a-thon without sharing it on my blog, but this adds a level of a) accountability and b) legitimacy.
So, all you readers (however many of you there actually are), I'm doing a readathon here are my goals.
Guidelines
Books to read: The Gilead by Marilynne Robinson and 2 Kings as well as a third book (I'll make update posts as things develop).
Time Frame: Readathon begins right now (right after I publish this post) and ends on Saturday, April 6, at 4am. (So maybe I like late night reading okay?)
Join me! Pick out 3 books you want to finish by early Saturday morning and start reading! Doesn't matter if you've already started the book or are almost done with it. Let's get some books out of that tbr (to be read) pile and into the dbr (done been read) pile.
Happy reading!
