Now that we’re
closing down Two Cooks I’m being faced with a career change I wasn’t 100%
prepared for. The hubs, he’s golden – heading off to an amazing job as
executive pastry chef for a local restaurant group where he’ll be creating the
dessert & baked goods menus for 5 restaurants. But for me, I have no idea
what I want to do. People have asked me what I’m doing next, what do I want to
do? Should be a simple question to answer, but since I haven’t had to think about
it for over 10 years my mind is blank.
The one
thing I know I want to do is write. Yep, I want to write write write. It feels
so good to be writing again, I don’t want to stop. Obviously I’ve been catching
up on my blog, but what else? The mini cookbook will need to have a small edit
as the back cover sports an advertisement for the to-go food operation we never
got around to opening this year. The big cookbook is 75% written, but will need
more photos, and I need to decide which direction to go for publishing. Do I
try for an agent and get it published the real way ((dream big I say)). Or do I
crowd fund and attempt to self-publish, a thought that seems very daunting to
me.
In addition
to that, do I keep the sloCooking as a business going – it’s where we’ve run our
wholesale desserts. Should I go the direction of the Cottage Food Act and get a
permit to sell my spices and cookie mixes myself? Decisions decisions.
What do
you think readers? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Leave me a comment or drop
me an email.
