Have, over the past few days, nailed my inbox down from nearly 500 to 341. Which is the best it's been since maternity leave started, I think. Would be nice to whittle that down to NOTHING by new years. Can she do it? Maybe... Probably would be easier if I hadn't sent like 100 emails to inactive artists warning them that their accounts are going to be disabled. Panic in the streets!

Doing the EMG-Zine Retrospectives - and this latest round of artist correspondences - is making me nostalgic for the EMG giftshop. About this nostalgic. And way, way, way, way more grateful that I'm NOT doing the giftshop anymore. I see SO many things I wish I'd done differently. Many of these things, I simply didn't have the skillz to do then, programming and otherwise. Some of them, I just didn't see from where I was then. Looking back at things has given me several (amazing!) ideas for improving the projects that are still thriving. My plans for world domination continue apace...
