Back to the future – or is it the past…?
And so – another month gone without a trace as work finds one again – this time the setting up of a new organisation from scratch and the planning of a fundraising campaign. I’ve tried – really hard – to do without paper when it comes to planning but sitting in front of a screen is just not the same as walking around a room – letting the ideas flow – writing them in felt tip on big sheets of paper which are surrounded by little sheets on which notes can be made. Ten laptops screens open at once would do the trick but ten tabs on one screen just doesn’t cut it for me somehow – all the minimising and maximising business. There’s something theatrical about hand to paper thing – the creative abandon with which one can scrawl ideas as they come to mind – doing so outside if it’s a sunny day or even under the clouds. Screen under the sun are impossible. And so dear readers – for moi, paper it is. And, of course, once my writings are completed, culled and curated I shall, indeed, commit them to screen and the virtual cloud.
Also on the work front – I have acquired some new music pupils – the youngest aged four who likes to engage me in lightsaber battle every few minutes when it all get too much for him and the oldest wanting to do a number of exams this year – the performance pieces for which, of course, I am compelled to learn in order to demonstrate their proper execution.
Have acquired another author client as well – along with a new book launch coming up. I just love book launches – something about them – the wine and chocolates of course are just an added bonus.
So – nose to the grindstone it is! As for the Corona Virus – I guess if we’re looking for a silver lining it might be that all of those “meetings that should have been an email” will henceforth be an email? Cheers all!
