creep

I just realized I don't want people I dislike to ever see my creative work, even if I'm positive it's wonderful and they're going to praise it to the skies. How can I even consider trying to sell jewelry at the new community market if I am so temperamental? I suppose I would be less attached to five-minute earrings and therefore mind less, but there is still the danger that someone I find annoying will glom onto me. Perhaps I need a proxy, or at least some counter help.

And yes, I am actually considering doing this. I'm not sure how good an idea it is, and the timing isn't great... but what if I could make some reasonable amount of money doing that? I might could afford college (-by-mail if necessary), and then all I'd be short on would be time, and maybe my chronic lack, motivation.

Three times no less...

Hmmm... if you decide you wish to sell your wares on the open market, I would be willing to offer my assistance and some of my weekend time in your 'booth'.

And in the instance someone you do not like is attempting to purchase your wares, I will be more than willing to give them 'The Monkey'.

I have several years of congenial Customer Service experience, and a few years worth of repressed rage for dealing with the 'undesirables'.

Heh. Such willingness! Dare I ask what The Monkey might be?

(Stupid LJ. There were four, and I got sucked into a meeting partway through wrestling with a very slow LJ connection to delete them.)

The willingness comes from the fact that I generally do like the public, could use something a little more constructive to do with my time, and the opportunity to meet new and interesting people.

The Monkey is who we let collection agencies speak with.

Oook...

Oh, and telemarketers.

Interesting.

I don't mind if people I don't know, don't care about, or actively hate see my stuff.
I care more if people I know read my writing, or see my "artwork". It makes me way more uncomfortable. And I can't tolerate marketing my own work at all. I don't really want praise, or criticism. I just want to share in a void. *snicker* "See? Don't tell me what you think, I just wanted you to see." That's me.

I can be a bit...boastful and wouldn't mind sharing my work with people I don't like...then again, if they don't like you and remain objective, then you're more likely to get an honest opinion...which, in theory, should work. Hmmm. I don't blame you about working with the public either, but I'm assuming you'll be your own boss there so it might not be too bad.
