Jan. 27th, 2008 08:44 pmThey ("they") say that the make or break point for most businesses is five years. I've been working at this landscape design thing since February 2002, so nearly six years now. For the first time since I started the business, I had a fair amount of work over the autumn, and it hasn't let up yet. I've had client appointments every weekend since New Year's.
While it's sometimes a strain on my mental resources (this is a second job, if you will, with the writing taking third job position until someone clamors for it), I like the chance to stretch my creative muscles. Novel rewriting just doesn't provide the same satisfaction. Given the state of my appointment book and the historical swamped-ness of March through June, it looks like there's going to be a lot of stretching this spring. *g*
