I have quite a bit of travel planned for the rest of this year as well as next year. The hiatus is over and now its back to long hours in airports and traveling. A very positive thing that comes from being in transit is this zen-like work mode that I get into. I’m not sure if its the lack of distraction or the distractions that put me in such a creative mood. Even with all the noise, announcements about delays, a lost cellphone, and caution about liquids, and people already gambling and losing money, I feel inspired to write. I feel as though I’m standing at the edge of a mountain, about to hike to the top, refreshed, from a very fantastic dreamless sleep, a healthy breakfast and thoughts of orgasms and sweet kisses of the night before. The mountain is steep and challenging but I’m prepared with all my gear(research already completed and a plan for each project) and feeling quite optimistic about the upcoming trek. Then again, maybe its the exceptional internet signal I get in airports and the fact that I found a seat near an electrical outlet:)
I sit here in the airport, flight delayed, occasionally people-watching and giggling to myself at the other people as they glance my laptop and see what I’m editing. No, they aren’t dirty pics but sexy nonetheless. I’m in a corner, keeping to myself and yet, there are people who seem to go out of there way to glimpse my screen, sometimes, at their own peril with all the luggage sitting around. I’m not a social traveler by any means but that approachable look I have seems to attract attention. Children are coming up to me and smiling at me. Where are their parents? Elderly sit next to me and strike up conversations, and young women traveling alone seem to sit by me not saying anything due to the unsaid truce amongst females traveling alone. There are the couples sitting quietly, not speaking to each other because of some little repressed aggravating occurrence that happened earlier in the day or even last week. Then there are the groups of young people traveling together, sharing their cell phone pictures that are difficult to see even with 20/20, and constantly talking, seemingly without taking a single breath in between the long, loud, fill the void, pointless conversations. In my opinion, the word “like” is very overused. Time could be better spent reading and increasing ones vocabulary. Colorful synonyms are not in abundance with the group sitting next to me. Yes, this is the point in transit where I start getting a little cynical and annoyed. Luckily, they are on my flight, yay! At least the phone isn’t ringing, that would top off my irritation.
Back to my plans…I planned a redesign of my paysite and I’m very excited for my webmasters to have at it. A decision is going to have to be made on my part about time devoted to the site, how to go about content trades and really putting more effort into finding people to work with in the cities I plan to visit as well as my home base, all the while keeping up on all my other projects and family life. This may seem like a stressful time in my life and well, it is, but its bliss as well. The more pressure and work, the better I function. I thrive on the diversity and challenge of multiple projects running at the same time. Its certainly never boring, as one projects starts to feel mundane, I can switch to another with renewed interest and vigor. The first draft of one of my movies is complete as well as lists and lists of information and research I’ve compiled on marketing, editing and conventions I plan to attend next year. I plan to attend adult webmaster, fetish, and photography events. There are so many events all over the world but I plan to stay in the states for now, although Australia is certainly looking appealing. Even within the US there are events every week but I’m going to restrict myself to once or twice a month unless they are in my home area. I’m fortunate that Las Vegas is convention heavy.
