On being Concise

I am enjoying Twitter. It's an exercise in being concise and witty. (Because all the popular blog kids are...) But I found out that J.'s cell phone can't twitter--poot (it's the cell phone I'll inherit when/if we upgrade). Now even more than ever I am jonesing for an iPhone, or a Treo, or Blackberry. I am much more witty when I am doing errands. Yes, I ought to jot it down in my notebook--but dang it I lost it...I actually bought a new one with bees on it and everything. I don't think it ever made it out of the shopping bag before I misplaced it.

For those of you that don't also read my knitting blog, Birdy's Knits, I have opened up a booth at a local craft mall (to get real world sales in addition to my shop's sales.) about two months ago. Sold nothing until I checked yesterday, sold TWO swiffer cloths! Woot! Now if I could just sell the other pretty things...I'd be even more stoked. Putting yourself out creatively is such a ballsy, naked move. You are asking complete strangers to like things you have created. It's incredibly difficult not to take it to heart and wonder what is the point? But you know me: Birdwell has an ego and although a small part is disheartened--between the ego and the optimism--I'm confident I'll be famouz one of these days. Grin. The occasional sale helps too. Luckily, my dual use stitch markers (they double as earrings too) are burning up in my knitting circle. I feel like a crack dealer for knitters. Yeah sparkling pretty things for your knitting is knitting crack. Heck at the retreat, I was doing deals in the street!

LOL, I just realised I was supposed to be extolling the virtues of being concise. Yes, once again the wordy bastard in me ran all over this blog once again. Well I have twitter for being concise and Dubh Croi for being wordy.
