OK, I’m In With Both Feet This Time…
I’ve blogged on and off now for a few years…but it’s never really stuck for lack of focus. I decided I needed a mission statement and a sentence or two about what I’m going to talk about. We sometimes heep so much pressure on ourselves to be Hemmingway…so, here goes:
I currently live in Seattle, like technology, .com goings on, cool marketing, interesting small companies who maintain an emphasis on preserving their cultures, marketing to women, entrepreneurism, micro-lending, and new trend in giving that is taking over everyone’s conversations. Throw in the complexities of working closely with other cultures, understanding and appreciating those cultures and I’m a happy girl.
Since all good things are better if you share them – I’ll post about the things I’m interested in.
Hi
I enjoyed your post about the Sunday morning coffee without the “I’ll have what you’re having/I wanted to have that, now I’ll have to choose something else” lines, and enjoy the single diner’s calm myself in Canberra, Australia.
Like you, I found that starting to blog without any plan did not work well, and often led to writer’s block rather than freeing me from it. That was an annoying irony.
I also didn’t effectively learn much about making use of editing features or plug-in applications…and lost interest. This time was different -even actually following the simple plan of making a list of core topics/categories to write about, before I ‘launched’ the actual blog, proved helpful straight away.
Cheers, and happy blogging in Seattle
