blogs and goals

I was wondering around some word press blogs earlier today. I found this post interesting. It’s at this blog. It brings up some good points about people like me who like to dream, and plan. It seems that the plans only serve to irate, where as living in the moment makes for happiness. But, my questions is, how can I arrange for my future, and be come the person who I want to be if I don’t put some planning into it? I think that I will continue to plan, and hope on thoes plans, for I love it. It’s so amazing to see plans come to a close. But for me, that does not much happen, because I try to do too much

I want to do this, that and the other, when I don’t have the time or money to do them all, and often the money to do none of them. But, that’s where this post comes in. it’s at this blog.

It’s all about how a person can have 3 or 4 things going, but more then that can lead to none of them getting done quite right. I am thinking of how I can apply that in my life.

Right now, I’ve got my blog, looking for a new job, 3 stories, and trying to get my room clean. That’s too much… but, as soon as I get a new job, i will still have too many things. So, I am going to buck it up, and refuse to take on any thing new, and continue trying with what I’ve got… and see how things go with it.

 

Business Cards

I’ve got business cards… they just happen to point to this blog. I started out knowing that I wanted them. I’ve always thought that it was very, very cool when people would pull them out. No fumbling for paper (I always used to have it, but now I carry a palm pilot.) No searching for a pen, and no data entry required.

I did price them around town. And well, they wall wanted more money then I was willing to pay, for more cards then I wanted. The worst part however was the formatting. None of them even came close to what I wanted. Just all the text centered on the card. So, I printed them my self. It took forever to get the formatting right so that it printed where I wanted on the cards.

I love the simplicity that is granted when I just pull one out and proudly announce to the world that I am a writer.

Why I avoided blogging

 

I avoided bogging for a while after my first post. This is because I did not have clear goals as to what I wanted this blog to be. It’s because I did not know what I was looking for from the experience. I did not know who I wanted my readers to be. And to come up with Content, I needed to know what it was I wanted to say. It’s not enough to want to write. A person must have something to write.

But, I have fixed that problem. I want a place where I can tell the story of my struggling to become a writer. It’s not that I expect any one to want to read it, but I have a need to share it, to show it and to tell it to the world.

I need a place to express my deepest fears about my writing and my highest hopes. It is here that I am going to express that. My friends are tired of hearing me rant and rave. I hope that there is something refreshing about sharing my hopes and dreams with the world. I hope that it makes being published less of a shock to my system and allows me to cope with it far better.

This is where i am going to test my skills and look for my voice. This is where I will try my hand at writing non-fiction, where I will post my progress, the ups and downs of it. The new jobs, the effort to susoprt my self via a job while I hone my craft.

Thank You to all who read, thank You for You’re time.
