This postI’m in the middle of giving birth.
Not to a human child, of course (and now you no doubt have images of some alien creature emerging out of me, which is an admittedly disturbing thought), but to an idea. A website, actually. It’s the new incarnation of Beyond, more along the lines of a social network, and it’s going to be big.
At the moment, however, I’m wondering what in the heck I’ve gotten myself into. It’s madness, sheer insanity, and yet I can’t stop. It’s something that has to be done, has to be built. If it succeeds, great. If it flops, well, that’s too bad, but at least I’ll have popped the sucker out and I’ll be able to move on to other projects. :)
Right now I’m going through labor pains, so to speak, and it won’t be long before the mental muscles contract and push and gosh I don’t know much about the birth process so I’ll stop now before I make a fool of myself. :) Anyway, I imagine that when you’re on the bed at the hospital pushing, trying to get the baby to come out, it’s hard to concentrate on much of anything else. That’s how I feel right now. So, if I seem distracted and not-entirely-with-it over the next two months, that’s why. When I get into a project like this and really capture the vision of it in my head, I become obsessive. No, “tightly focused” has better connotations. :) And that’s a good thing, because intense energy is what’s needed to make these things come to life. I can rest after it’s over.
Anyway, I want to take a nap, but it’s not even noon yet. ~sigh~
