Bah! Let’s try and write something here! I’ll be completely honest with you, there have been struggles to know what to do with this website. It started as a platform to promote myself and the work I’ve done in the past, but I’ve always felt it has other benefits.
There had been some thoughts about writing a regular blog, but my writers block always gets the better of me. I always get inferiority fear when it comes to writing, that is probably the thing that grounds me the most. I’ve written some excellent articles for this website, and received high praise for them, but there has also been a small amount of negativity. No matter how small the feedback, this reinforces my fears.
However, I have an understanding that there should be room for change here. I’m paying annually to host a website that doesn’t add anything to my stable of self-employment. To be honest, I’m at a point where most assets need to be working in my favour. it doesn’t even have to generate revenue, if it’s purpose is as a promotional tool for freelance work.
I’ve felt very panicked over the last few months, as my revenue hasn’t been as high as I’d like it to be. Projects cost money to put on, and I’m barely breaking even. Despite all this, I’ve tried to maintain a level head. Some projects were shuttered because they were beyond the point of saving, they had gone as far as they could go. This site still has potential.
My personal website doesn’t have to be just a series of static pages that someone might stumble onto. It’s clear at this point that I’m unlikely to get work simply from listing it, so I’ll use the site to showcase it. All the while, other pieces of content will be added to the mix, both personal and otherwise.
I’m considering adding a series of interview transcripts, opinion pieces and promotional posts for upcoming projects. I’ve been very focused on the Quo-Cast over the last six months, but it is my intention to diversify in 2026. All being well, you will start to see things fairly soon.
So what’s the next step? I’ll be writing notes on what I want to achieve, then doing my best to act on it. Fear needn’t be an issue, as I should always remember the kindness and positivity I received over anything bad. The new year has potential to be my year, and I’m determined to make the most of it.
