Everyone comes to blogging for a different reason.
Maybe you’re tired of the mom grind, and want to share with other moms. Being a stay at home mom is lonely. So you see other bloggers doing it, but think to your self, nah, I can’t be a problogger, it will be like blogging without a blog for me.
Then you get this big bright bulb over your head and realize you could start an itty biz! Something little of course, you tell yourself, but something that could grow. Because you are sick and tired of eating macaroni and peas and scraping pennies. I mean really, wouldn’t a juicy steak be nice? Or maybe something from the deep friar, like one of those organic sandwiches filled with plaintains.
Secretly though, you have always wanted to write for Hollywood, and wish Steven Spielberg would call you up and ask if your laptop is for hire. But this is not delusional, you think, because you have had one of life’s little inspirations and just know your words for hire are better than the crap that is currently playing in theatres. Besides, Steven Spielberg’s birthday is just one day after yours, and you notice many great directors are Sagittarians. And you realize it’s high time for more women to be great directors.
After carefully perusing templates, you give yourself a design interval of six weeks. That should be all it takes, you think, because puntuality rules!
Soon, your blog blinks and is awake. And now that it is up and running you find yourself writing forward into the golden zen of the blogging world.
I dedicate this post to the muse Melissa.
