I have skills coming out of my ears: page layout, editing, writing, work flow organization.
And I have the entrepreneurial spirit. When I was in high school I wanted to open a bakery. When I discovered coffee shops, I wanted to own one of those. I still wouldn't mind it. And maybe that's the direction I'll eventually go in. But what makes a lot of sense now, and what I know I could enjoy, is working with small businesses as they start putting themselves together.
That's the ultimate goal, anyway. There'll be a lot of things to get done along the way.

I've had an image of the office space I'd most enjoy: A long desk, almost like a drafting table. A couple of stools. My beautiful Mac. Space to sketch and plan.

This'll be hard. I'm not terribly good at putting myself out there, or even knowing the best way to engage a potential work connection in a business conversation. Patrick, though, is excellent at it, and I plan to take any advice he cares to give.
My main goal is to develop a strong freelance career. Those, I take it, are built almost entirely on connections.
I think they'll just say "Lindsay Durango: Editor, Designer, General Whizbang"
