I've spent a sizable portion of what should have been a busy and productive day messing around - it's the kind of day when you say to yourself, "Get a grip, girl, and stop wasting time," but you don't - because what you're doing is fun - and if you can't have fun you might as well fall to your knees right now and tell the politicians to go ahead and hand you that very tight-fitting hair shirt.
So, what was I doing? Well, I was trying my hand at making a commercial - a 30 second video about my book Deceptions, which is written under my pen name, Laura Elliot. The service offered by a company called Animoto - and the 30 seconds are free - so I put in my photos, text, music and away I went - except that I kept changing it.
That's the worst thing about decisions - hand me a Chinese menu and I'm lost in the labyrinth of choice. And so it was today - which song, how much text, which theme, delete when it's over thirty seconds...darn it, now it's twenty-right seconds - a thousand piece jigsaw would have been finished in half the time. Anyway, this is my attempt - of course I want to remake, rejig, reconfigure, reconstruct - and all the Re-s you can imagine but I'm gritting my teeth and posting - and I have to admit I did enjoy the my messing around day.
