Jumping Over Hurdles

Hurdle 1: Quantum Strides for Scribe

I met with "S.Pace" yesterday for coffee, and I couldn't be happier with what we accomplished in just 3 hours! He's a very, very talented graphic designer, and he is also "in the know" about the latest in technology, so he is helping me with communication components of Scribe as well. Yesterday:

• He presented me with 2 logo's for Scribe Professional Writing & Editing Solutions (he is working on others, but I will decide on one within the next few weeks)
• We registered a domain name and hosting package for the company website (currently under construction - I will annouce the URL when it is functional)
• We looked into setting up a 1-800 number for the company (clients from all over North America can contact me through just one number)
• We discussed the posibility of combining our two businesses to offer clients a more dynamic selection of services

The last point is not set in stone, but we are meeting again next week to discuss how (and if) we could make it work.

Hurdle 2: Novel Finished


I finally finished Robinson Crusoe. I read 114 pages of it today. Now, I need to type up a 2 page paper on one of the following for tomorrow:

• Is Robinson Crusoe a spiritual autobiography or a tale of a successful capitalist?
• How would you describe Crusoe's relationship to Friday? (Think about this question in the context of colonialism).
• What is Crusoe's relationship with money?
• What do you make of Crusoe's response to the cannibals?
• What is realist about this novel?

The easy choice would be the last question: "what is realist about the novel?", but I may do "what is Crusoe's relationship with money". My eyes are completely blood-shot from reading all day so I might regret this decision in about 30 minutes.

Hurdle 3: "The Golf Product" Business Plan

"The golf product" business plan was put on hold today as I was scrambling to finish my novel. However, the date in which my dad needs it has been pushed back several times already. He thinks he will definately need it for Wednesday, which is perfect for me because after I write this Robinson Crusoe paper, I can completely devote myself to finishing it.

Upcoming hurdles include:

• Updating Scribe Business Plan and Financials
  
  

I could list 20 more things, but I am just taking it one step at a time. I love my to-do lists, and I try to get everything done on them - but I wont cut corners just to get them done.

Keep Bizzy!
