Posted on February 24, 2014August 19, 2025 by Ellen Eldridge

This is day 26 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 26: “Where does creativity come from”   Many people don’t know I published a book of poetry. Fewer care, I’m sure. But, because I have way too much to do to write a blog tonight, I’ll share. The best reason to consider buying a copy…

Posted on February 23, 2014July 23, 2025 by Ellen Eldridge

I know the right side of the body is controlled by the left brain hemisphere, but that…

Posted on February 17, 2014October 21, 2025 by Ellen Eldridge

  This is day 19 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 18: “One quick tip for Facebook for business”   I think it’s safe to say that every business is online.

Keyword research for blog writing

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Ellen Eldridge

Day 17 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 16: “The shape of a heart”   One thing that I think makes me particularly tuned-in to keyword research as it applies to blog writing is the fact that I earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology. More than just having taken (and passed) the classes, the reason…

The shape of a heart

Posted on February 14, 2014 by Ellen Eldridge

This is day 16 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 15: “Dedicated hashtags on Twitter”   So, my heart is swelling quite a bit because I’ve been unable or unwilling to write poetry much over the last handful of years.

Posted on February 8, 2014October 21, 2025 by Ellen Eldridge

Day 10 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 9 “Social Media Limit”     We makers know that when inspiration strikes we might be dead asleep or butt-naked in the shower.
