I
After months of procrastination, today's the day when I dive in head first. I really have no idea what I'm doing, but I am feeling brave and plan to learn on the job. This is against the advice of my eldest child, a self proclaimed genius in the field of the online presence, who will tomorrow enlighten me and help me to create an effective and dynamic campaign, considering elements such as target audience and message. He is due to arrive at lunchtime with ideas and advice, and clutching his first and second years' notes, which will apparently be of huge benefit. He is now in his third year of a degree course the title of which sadly evades me, but includes some but not all of the following words: digital, electronic, social, media, marketing. I should really be able to remember, but I suspect that he has spotted my confusion, and is taking delight by changing the title each time I apologetically ask him to repeat it. In much the same way that my husband confounds the lovely dry cleaners at our local Morrisons every time he visits by correcting their pronunciation of his surname. So they call him Mr Considine (rhymes with wine), and he says, "it's Considine" to rhyme with bean. And vice versa. It amuses him, and I think they just nod kindly, realising that he is enjoying himself.
At the end of May, I resigned from my teaching job of fifteen years. Time to take a few risks and change direction, pursuing a long held dream. I am going to become a writer!
