Here goes…

Today I wrote up an outline of a half-day JCDL workshop and sent it to my potential co-conspirator, who would be doing another half-day designed to be a sequel to mine.

Hoping it flies… because it’d be really fun to do, and the right kind of people would find it very useful. Very much the kind of thing that saves hours of swearing.

The thing about this career-changing business is building up one’s name again. I had a fairly decent name in e-publishing. Librarianship doesn’t know me from Eve.

Yet.

I wouldn’t call it a daunting prospect exactly, because hell, I’ve done this before with a good deal less to go on than I’ve got now. I trust myself to see opportunities when they appear, and not to screw them up once they’ve crossed my radar.

I just need to quit kicking myself for not having rocketed to stardom already. Three months isn’t enough time, and stardom isn’t anything I’m all that keen on anyway.
