Those of you that know me will know that I am, in fact, quite contrary, and it will come as no surprise that my spring-cleaning time happens in the autumn.This might explain why I woke up one morning recently with a terrible feeling of pain and humiliation. You see, I am not an entirely bad photographer and I have a nice camera,  yet many of my product shots are horrible. Similarly, I am not bad a writing. I fact, I enjoy writing, I enjoy explaining about the things I draw. I must do, I have enough blogs- and yet my product descriptions can be positively embarrassing.

I point the finger of blame squarely at the to-do list. The aim of a to-do list is to get the items on it done with least effort possible, because it is a well known fact to-do lists are evil, and must be vanquished. Checking off items makes one victorious; lists that run amok are indicative of a massive character flaw. My to-do lists were long; my work hours were short; thus to avoid a massive personal failure I would be taking pictures and writing descriptions way in the night when the lighting was bad and my brain had turned off and gone to a better place. But at least I got things checked off, right?

WRONG

I have a new business plan.

There is no urgency to list items. It is better to wait for have nice pictures. They will be bright; white and luminous. It is better to take time to write a good description. one that is accurate, characterful and descriptive listings. I have been foolish to pour all my passions into making a print; I'm lucky they have sold so well with so little help. Before I have neglected product listing as a part of the creative process but now I'll leave it for when I have the time and energy to do it right. 

I will do this, and hopefully that will mean I never have to update all fifty product listings in three shops and countless portfolios ever, ever again. Cutting corner did not save time or energy. I can vouch that this overhaul is extremely tedious and time consuming.
