It’s actually quite scary having this new website and blog.
It’s scary because it says, up there, live on t’interwebs, that I am an Artist.
That means People might judge me and find me lacking. “An artist? Who does she think she is?”
It’s scary because I want to be me on this blog.
That means People will want value from what I write and it might not be good enough. “The dogs? Again? Why doesn’t she talk about something useful?”
It’s scary because I also want to be honest.
That means People will know that I’m stumbling around and making it up as I go along and not a Real Artist at all. “Artists make art. All she does is talk about it.”
And what’s most scary of all is that all of those People live in my head. With me. Welcome to my everybody.

Oh, yay! Your site looks beautiful, Fi! Congratulations!!
And oh man, you are so not alone with having all those people in your head.
So glad you’re up and running, dear Fi. I’m so eager to read about your process and thinking behind the amazing work you do… We haven’t had much time to talk about this yet, but we have many overlapping themes in common.
This is just going to be so much fun. I’m so pleased for you and so selfishly glad that for me there’s now a place I can come and pick your artistic brain.
“Real Artists” are all stumbling along making it up as they go along–Congratulations! You are a “Real Artist”!!!!!
And I love your tag line about better ideas…
