Dear Diary,
How are you? I feel I should have visited you before now, but I haven’t. I’ve been too busy being busy.
Three things I should have told you:
1)I am still setting up my business. But rather than my usual rip, shit and bust it approach, I have decided I need to research my options, and in sedate fashion find out the best way forward. I have signed up for several (free) Business Link workshops. And have thus ascertained that the business will be a Social Enterprise rather than a charity, and I think a CIC will be the most appropriate.(What does CIC stand for, you ask? I wish I could remember…several Googles later: Community Interest Company). The question is, what sort? Limited Guarantee or Limited Shareholders? Who will be my members? What will the Articles and Memoradum of Association be? Will I get an accountant or do it myself? Can I make friends with a local Justice of the Peace and save a solicitor’s fee? Not my usual style, but I like this new, professional me. I need to buy myself a pair of half-moon spectacles. On a string.
Speaking of purchases, a fellow punter came in to one of the workshops with a very smart looking binder notebook (A4), with all his notes. It looked so professional. In attempting to emulate him, I ran in to Smiths before running for the bus I cannot be late for – school pick up – and came out with a hideous lurid pink one. Perhaps it gives out a sense of vibrant energy, but in truth, it is horrible. Oh well.
2) I wrote a play.
3) I got back to Crow! today, and am writing it as a film now. I shall show you a few of the sketches from my storyboard. Well, what do you think? Do you get the idea? I’m excited. I have such a flavour of the piece in my mind…
Now, dear Diary, I can sense your discomfort. You are so much less interested in my magnum opus, and far more worried about all these big spaces in the middle of this blog. Aren’t you? Well, here comes a biggie…
Is it representative of meditation and yogic practice? A communing with the internal yearnings of my artistic spirit?
Indeed, it is to make my attached images look as if they belong to this post. A little aesthetic indulgence.
And back now to Crow! What a good day it’s been, back to the vision, and away from business models. I dream of seeing it realised….will someone please give me the Munny?
