To Carry or Not to Carry

Of course, now I have these impressive 'business' cards, and will be carrying them with me everywhere I go, in excited anticipation that someone might want one, no one will want one.

I think that's why I stopped carrying them around with me before two years ago.

It's kind of like if you carry an umbrella it definitely won't rain. Or if you remember your sunglasses it will stay 100% cloudy.

The law of Murphy or sods or which ever superstitious being you ascribe to forbids it.

But does this mean that by carrying my business cards around on me, I am guaranteeing that no one will ever want to net work with me? And that at another writers networking party, at no point will anyone ever say 'Hey you'd be great for this thing I'm doing, can I take your card and we'll talk some more about it?'

Because if that is the case then, I should really stop carrying them around. Because at least if I am not carrying them and someone wants my details, I can still give them my details.

It's quite a mine field, is being a superstitious, insecure writer type.

But lets not jump the gun. I haven't left the house since I found them, so this is all conjecture anyway.

And, y'know, maybe no one wanted to network with the Catie of two years ago, but it's quite a different story now.

After all, the Catie of two years ago couldn't have paid a month and a half's rent with the total profit she had made from writing. So the Catie of today shits all over her.

As soon as word gets out about this shitting there will be a huge demmand....

HUGE.
