Starting Again

Alright. After a really long break, I'm back in the saddle again. Or rather, I am circling the horse, sitting on the saddle, sliding back off to do everything other than ride. I NEED to put together my portfolio. This whole process fills me with dread.

This morning, I finally started work on it. I took everything I downloaded and categorized them into folders. Not usable, usable and good copy with bad look (meaning final clip has grammar/style/typo issues I had no control over or missing links and images so the page looks bad).

All I have to do is this:

1. Take all the hard copies I have and scan them into a scanner.
2. Crop so they look nice.
3. Make color copies of hard copies/scanned pieces.
4. Add labels to each piece.
5. Make physical portfolio.
6. Make e-portfolio.

Which isn't a hard process in and of itself. The part that makes it something I've put off for five years is the emotional part. I can't seem to do this without the constant chatter in my head and it's not nice. Slacker, loser, you really haven't done anything with your life have you? etc. run through my head constantly and I have no idea why I am so frickin' hard on myself. Or, even more importantly, how to make it stop long enough so I can produce my portfolio.

Okay, let's see how to get this done.
