New Projects. Hubby’s new site. And Baby’s 4 Months Old!

Actually, I’ve pretty much been back at work for almost two weeks, when I got roped into writing for a few small projects. Although it’s been a mere four months since I became a parent (four months! eesh…), the idea alone of going back to work was intimidating. Looking after a baby is an all-consuming task, and as a first-time parent I’m sure that my fears and my worries about whether I’m doing things right, not to mention my exhaustion, are considerably deeper than those of a parent who’s done it before. Reporting, writing someone’s marketing collateral, even writing for this blog, were distant thoughts.

Luckily, the projects that have come across my desk recently have been quite appealing and now I find myself eager to resume work, albeit on a less than full-time basis. One project, which I admit I did for love, (in fact, I’m not getting compensated at all) is my husband’s new website. We’ve been talking about putting a site together for him for so long. Now it’s finally going to happen! Somehow, with a laughing, cooing, and occasionally cranky baby in the background, we managed to discuss what kind of look Wolf wanted for his site, which stills from his features and commercials to include, and what kind of tone he wanted for the site’s text. Although I urged him to enlist the talent of a professional web designer, he insisted that I build it, and I’ve been having a blast learning the ins and outs of Rapidweaver. Most of all, it’s been a great way to make my reentry into my professional life. I think within a few days we’ll be able to unveil it, at which time I’ll post another “How I Work” article about building and writing for websites.

And speaking of looks and sites, both this blog and my main site are about to undergo some facelifts. So if things look a little wonky around here, let’s just say you were warned!
