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…
Writing
Staying creative as a writer, musician or maker
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
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
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
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?
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…
Are you a morning person or a night person?
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
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
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
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….
