I've just landed a fantastic project. Sadly, it's all hush hush so I guess broadcasting it to the three or so readers here would still be not allowed. I can say that I'm going to be an editor (again) which is ace. I can also say that it's going to be about sex, so at least it's a subject area I'm comfortable with. Every day that passes, I get more and more grateful that I got off my arse to set up Cliterati because it's constantly opening new doors.
Having dreams is a good thing. I tend to have many - and do many things at once. Some of them are daft - at 16, one of my dreams was to go on a carousel horse because I hadn't ever been on one. I lived it out and it was a top laugh, giggling away as I whizzed around - the only 'adult' on a fairground ride otherwise populated by five years olds.
At 21, I decided I wanted to do a festival and, with the help of many, many lovely people, managed it in three weeks on a zero budget. We got 3,000 people through the doors and made £20K over the bar in 14 hours (I was doing it for love not money so didn't see any profits.)
And then last year, I decided (along with some girlie mates) that there should be a female-oriented sex site offering free masturbation material. We're doing half a million pages every month so it seems to be working.
If you've got a dream, go for it. It may not be easy, will probably involve (many, many, many) nights working late and will be very likely to make you panic on occasion but it really is worth it.
