Well, awhile ago I posted that changes were coming to my blog. I'm very excited about them. In about a month I hope to launch my new and improved blog. It will encompass so much more. Please follow me when the time comes, I will keep you posted.
I've been taking a writing class and it's been quite freeing when it comes to inspiration. And it's been quite informational when it comes to the technicalities of the blogosphere and getting my blog read.
One of my goals when I initially started my blog was to do some "professional" writing. Blogging was my way of being published, getting some practice and holding myself accountable. But blogging became so much more for me too.
I became so in touch with my feelings, my goals and the passion that lies within. I found myself on a journey of self discovery. My initial posts were written as "columns" that I envisioned printing in some local publication, but the columns became part of me. My challenges, my dreams and aspirations --- and mostly my take on the human condition.
I'd still like to do a column, only reality tells me it'll be more of an on-line thing. I struggle with getting seen...Google-love comes with exposure and to get exposure I have to attack social media with extreme regularity. I'm finding it hard to embrace Twitter. Most really popular blogs get seen because they link to current headlines, videos and pop culture.
I don't want to be that kind of blogger, I want to write. I want to write with soul and purpose. The only question is, does soul and purpose translate into being read?
There's something in me I need to share. Perhaps it's not quite defined yet, perhaps I just haven't found the right home...but I am on the move.
So friends, readers and fellow bloggers, if you like what I have to say, please tell others. Please link me or forward me or recommend me. I need all the help I can get. The one thing that I know I learned about myself this last year is that I can't do it all alone anymore. I need to ask other's for help. I need to seek guidance and education. And probably most importantly, I need to believe in my self, my heart and believe that I will reach my goals.
