Anytime I embark upon a new project, I am almost immediately seized by fear. It is suddenly quite obvious that I wasn’t thinking clearly when I agreed to take on the project. It will likely be a disaster, a flaming slow motion spin out into a crowd of gaping onlookers. And then they’ll know. They’ll know that I’m a fraud who has been deceiving them all these years with claims of being a writer or an artist.

It is no use to present as evidence the hundreds of posts in my blog or the stories I have written or the many web sites I have designed. Those were flukes. Tricks. A bit of smoke and mirrors to disguise the fact that I have no idea how I’m doing any of it.

And this, of course, is part of the process. It means it’s working.

What you can expect from my One A Day contributions: At the very least you will find a weekly account of my progress and process in regards to various creative projects I am working on. Basically, I want to be sure that each week I have done something of consequence that advances my creative well being. This blog will help keep record of that.

Thus concludes the preamble. Onward!
