Phenomenon of Creativity – COMING SOON –

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.

Before we begin:

A Little About Me

I AM…

• AN ENTHUSIAST OF RANDOM THINGS- A visionary. In my world I see that all things are possible (well not all the time but most of the time) especially when someone shares their passion projects with me. I believe 1000% that they can do it & I will be there 100% to cheer them on.
• MY OWN WORST CRITIC- I’m working on this.
• AN EXTROVERT & as much as I AM AN INTROVERT – I will let you sit on that one.
• AN AQUAPHILE, A THALASSOPHILE, A LIMNOPHILE, A DENDROPHILE, A SELENOPHILE & A ASTROPHILE – in short I am a lover of; water, oceans, lakes, trees, moons & the stars.
• A DAUGHTER, A SISTER, A MOTHER, A FRIEND & CONFIDANT.

I…

• have been known to talk to myself .quietly in my head.
• window shop a lot & one inspiration can transpire to a slew of projects.
• wear many hats however I don’t own any, beanies don’t count. (update I bought my first baseball cap, don’t know when I will wear it.)
• begin projects first then figure them out later. (working on this)
• It is a known fact, once I start a project, there is a 90% chance that I may start a few more at the same time.
• can smell something before you do & it’s not in the good sense
• am a cheesy clumsy dork, I know it & embrace it.
• laugh at my own jokes – (hey, I think I am funny)
• begin projects first then figure them out later. (working on this too)
• do most of my projects at night when it is dark. I find that I am more focused then what’s going on in the outside world.
• draw projects out on paper for my husband. If I tell him how I want something done he just nods, puts his hand to his chin & says uh-huh. His way of saying I don’t know what the bleep you are talking about.
  

Things You Should Know

When I first moved out, back in the day, I bought my first set of tools & RYOBI Power Tool Combo Kit. Ryobi brand color was still blue. I was scared to cut a finger off, so it took me a few years before I even attempted to use them. Occasionally I used the hammer and made a screwdriver or two, you know during happy hour. 🙂 I had no desire or the space to attempt to learn. Now ask me where the *protective guard to most of my power tools are? NO CLUE (shrugging shoulders)

* Please note I do not condone this, if you are asking why not, then I highly recommend that you find the nearest Stop the Bleed Training, to learn why & have your local EMS on standby.

I know what I know and do what I do because I am a visual person. I see it in my head then attempt to do it. I eventually research or read instructions later. I like to figure things out my own way. This is not the best practice and there is a lot of Youtube content for do it yourself- I will sometimes attach a link as well.

More Things You Should Know

• I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL ( I didn’t go to school for this stuff, I just do what I do)
• If you have any questions about any projects, I will try my hardest to answer them in a timely manner, with as honest and as accurate as I can be but am not certified to guide you.
• Any questions on your love life, children, partner or any other inquisitions, will be redirected to a professional, but on a more serious note I will be as open and as vulnerable as I can to share kind words of wisdom, hope & love.
• I DO NOT endorse one thing or another, What works for me, may not work for you. I am a inspirer not an influencer.
• I AM NOT PERFECT & I EMBRACE MISTAKES, If you notice something before I do, send me a message.
• I TAKE ALL CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM- I may pout about it, throw a tantrum or two, ball up in a corner & console myself but eventually I get up and realize its part of the learning process.
