the ramble dump

It's been over sixth months since the idea of having my own website came about, and this blog was started pretty much straight after that. That's over half a year of planning, having ideas, changing projects that have been going for years, and a fair bit of generally wasting time and doing nothing. The original plan was to get it online in the summer when my exams were over... that was three or four of those six months ago. But the delay hasn't because I'm not really interested in it. I think I've been hesitant to just get it done because I want it to be exactly right, and I don't want something I'll be disappointed with, because I know I'll lose interest if that's what it is. This website, just a website though it is, is a huge step in me getting to do what I love and getting it out there for people to see... a sort of climax after the first attempts with Fod and the long and edifying journey that was Kommingle. And there's all the crazy people I've befriended along the way and who have helped me immensely. I'm reaching a point now which is a sort of culmination of all these experiences, although I know that it by no means ends here and will continue in the insane way it has been doing.

It could be just Amelia's contagious excitement as she starts to perfect the design, but you know what? As this blog reaches its fiftieth update, and each and every one of the various projects reaches a stage of activity, I'm thinking it's not going to be too long before Fat Man In Tweed is up for the world to see.

How spiffingly dramatic. :)
