I make no bones about the fact that I'm a control freak, which is pretty problematic when I am put in charge of something, especially when it has to do with create endeavors. This year, I am in charge of Publicity for Circle City IN Pride, which is the LGBT Pride celebration for Indianapolis and the surrounding areas. Since I've always felt I have a marketing and PR person buried deep in my psyche, I jumped at the chance to do this. The problem is that is is way too much work for me to do in addition to the real job -- the one that pays. It's a struggle, because I want total creative control, but the fact of the matter is that I'm not going to be able to design everything that needs to be designed, which means I actually have to use the talents of my committee.
We'll see how it goes :-)
This weekend is shaping up to be another crazy one, and I will try to twitter or update as much as possible. Frankly, the next month or so is going to out of control, but I really do plan on updating as much as humanly possible.
If nothing else, this whole process has been a tremendous learning experience, and while I may bitch about how time consuming it is, I am building knowledge and a portfolio to help me on that whole marketing thing. It may kill me, but it is actually better than a paycheck at this point.
