Recently, I worked for a couple of weeks at a small town newspaper. Lifestyles editor responding to the community's need to publish Bridge results or the latest DAR meeting or obituaries. Club notices, entering Farm Wife meetings into the newspaper's vintage Quark 8.6 format. Sitting on a very small office chair under a low desk. I would hobble home, feeling like the hunchback of Notre Dame. So I did not last, thought I would much rather be writing about my own experience. This small town is a challenge, full of ranchers and farmers and a cost of living that is very low, yet correspondingly, low salaries. I have bought a downtown property that I am renovating to make into a art space, and at times feel I have become crazy. I am worried that there will be little interest from the town to even visit this space given my lack of church membership and being from out of area. I am an artist, and will post images for view, once I figure it out. How open shall I be in sharing stuff? How private? Being an artist is a very private process for me, yet here I am venturing out into the universe. What is an introvert to do? I will figure out how to publish some images.
