Day Four | 100x100

Day Four. Up early. Comments first, then straight to the store and print room.

Swapped prints. Packaged an order for shipment. Responded to emails. Confirmed a book pop-up with Texas Roadhouse.

When I was active in travel writing, it was important to have a section that shows all of the brands/websites/businesses that you've worked with. People you worked with wanted to see that you're professional and worked with big names. The Texas Roadhouse pop-up kinda feels like. 

The Midnight Oil in partnership with one of the largest chains in the US presents "Blind Date with A Book". Cheesy, but I hear this in my head from like a pro announcer about how we're getting into the big leagues. It's nothing like that, but it's fun to dream.

Throughout the day I'd set up 3D bookmarks and keychains for sale at TMO. Small move, but those things sell well. Today was Book club day, knocked out 200 pages of the book. Didn't finish, but enough to hold a real conversation, and I did some research to fill the gaps. That's an underrated skill nobody talks about, knowing just enough to facilitate the discussion. In this case, not having read it, some of the others jumped into to direct when I was at a loss of words/questions. 

Back to the store and swapped prints again. Worked on painting some 3D prints for the Distortions experiment. Confirmed an art display for TMO. Ran payroll. Paid myself which still feels like a small victory every time, because there were stretches when that wasn't happening. 

Now I'm here, writing this. In a few minutes I'm going to record some footage of the printers running and the finished pieces so I have content to talk over and post.

Another day that didn't hit 100. But another day that didn't stop either.

That's the pattern I'm starting to trust.

Keep going.
