Effects on social media and what you can learn in 30 days of blogging

Posted on February 28, 2014October 21, 2025 by Ellen Eldridge

This is day 30 of my 30-day blog challenge! Read day 29: “Staying creative as a maker” The baseline of a 30-day blog challenge   I started this 30-day spurt as a self-challenge, inspired by my friend Sara Crawford. I wanted to further experiment with how often a brand, business or individual should post for…

Staying creative as a writer, musician or maker

Posted on February 27, 2014October 12, 2025 by Ellen Eldridge

This is day 29 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 28: “This is the day I fail”   Bob weir is best known for playing guitar in The Grateful Dead (and Ratdog as I mentioned in my blog about proposing), but he also makes hot sauce. Maynard James Keenan may be best known as the…

This is the day I fail

Posted on February 26, 2014October 21, 2025 by Ellen Eldridge

This is day 28 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 27: “3 songs to propose to this year”   I hate to admit that I’m not perfect, and I’ve written about the problem of perfectionism previously. If I know anything, finishing what you start is crucial. But, artists and writers shouldn’t strive for complete perfectionism….

3 songs to propose to this year in Atlanta

Posted on February 25, 2014July 23, 2025 by Ellen Eldridge

This is day 27 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 26: “I used to rant like fruit gone rotten”     I live north of Atlanta, but a few artists I love are touring. I saw something on Facebook where a fan proposed to his girlfriend at a concert, and, as my own five-year anniversary…

I used to rant like fruit gone rotten

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…

The right versus left brain question: where does creativity come from?

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

This is day 25 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 24: “Parenting through the smell of dead sewage”   Most of us have heard about people being “left-brained” or “right-brained,” but I don’t think there’s much to that. I know the right side of the body is controlled by the left brain hemisphere, but that…

morning doesn't begin until after coffee

Are you a morning person or a night person?

Posted on February 20, 2014October 21, 2025 by Ellen Eldridge

This is day 22 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 21: “Why I love HootSuite”     I’ve been thinking more and more that I’m a morning person, but I’m by no means a cheerful person in the morning. In fact, I’ve asked my husband not to speak to me in the mornings before I’ve…

5 Pet peeves of poor web design

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. Every musician, artist, cookie vendor and craftsperson has a website. If they don’t, they really should. Some people blog or sell items from third…

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. I can admit that purging the negative feelings and pain felt much easier in poems….
