Five grandiose projects that I will almost certainly not get around to undertaking or completing

Slackers

1. Making the t-shirt website that I have begun to work on actually work so that people can buy t-shirts and everything.
2. Finding a person who lives in my vicinity to do some admin work for me so that things are a bit less of a disaster.
3. Approaching churches near me with a mind to being their cartoonist in residence. The idea being that they provide me with a bit of space to draw diagrams and people flock in through the doors to see what is going on.
4. Actually doing something vaguely useful at my church. And in life generally.
5. Undertake new cartoon project, the nature of which I cannot divulge in case someone else steals my ideas. It involves making a new website and someone with WordPress skills.

Please nag me continually about these things.

    Ah Monsieur Walker. Ze Grands Projets, like, ow you say, ze Pompidou Centre or a thermonuke proof underground art repository under Mont Blanc. Or build a monorail to Cannes from your back garden. Grands Projets zey make you feel better, but zey cost much spondulick. You must make sure yours are big enough to stir ze blood. A thirty metre baroque gilded Dome (good Inspector Clouseau word) for your Church! Ze Cartoons, zey must be Mchaelangelo cartoons, but wiz funny captions. Ze world awaits!

    Chuckle.I`m glad to see another “creative” who wrestles wregularly with procrastination Dave. I have some very annoying pages in EVERY one of my precious sketch-pads over the last few years that list the things I`m GOING to do (I sometimes do one…a year.Ish) Then again, sometimes I get a flurry of surprising activity.Please God, you`ll get one too, regularly, routinely & often enough to look back one day soon & think “Eeee I`d forgotten I used to procrastinate!” Keep up the great work Dave.

    I know you are somewhere London way but when you say ‘someone near you’, where are we talking?

    Pity you don’t live south of the River, I might have been able to help with the Admin, but not sure about Word Press. My sisters live at Hockley, which is a stones throw away from you.

    As for procrastination, I’m a past master. Always leave everything until the last moment. Trying to plan ahead and get things done early, leads to me making mistakes and constantly having to revise.

    So, procrastination works.

    Off course, you could always take up Bishop Alan’s tip and move to Paris, there procrastination is the way of life.

    Dave. I am concerned. Make sure there is time for cups of tea, twitter and general faffing. If you plan that in, I think your projects sound fab. And I wish my church was closer. Our Bishop’s PA is shortly moving out of the space she occupies in our church office which is probably cartoonist-sized.

    Re: Nagging; please do the t-shirt website if you do nothing else – this is for selfish reasons, as I would really like one. I live ‘up North’ so cannot offer either space or help, other than the requested nagging (which, however, comes highly recommended from all members of my family.)So: Spit, Spot, as Mary Poppins used to say, on with it now (and wouldn’t she be great for getting things organised….)

    Shame – can imagine the t-shirts being very popular, especially with you-know-what around the corner & the need for original presents. When *are* we allowed to mention you-know-what?

    Consider yourself nagged :-)

    Use CafePress for your t-shirts – they do all the work and you get the $$.

    Hurray! Hope you’ll give CartoonChurch the “Appleby treatment” and minister from your Church Cartoonist post to those of us across the pond!

    As a guitarist I really want one of those Tshirts you did for Greenbelt. I’ll keep watching in hope.
    (Just a little nag – pretty please!)
