We have seen countless hours spent trying to generate the ideal idea. There have been countless false starts and half-tailed attempts. There have been times where I was ready to give up on the thought of a blog altogether.
Days gone by means nothing though. There's this post, today, and every one of the posts which will include it. My blog is finally here, and I'm able to start putting my writing around for your world to find out.
Where should i start though? I actually have a huge amount of concepts for this web site. I really could just dive directly into that. The theory doesn't feel right though. There's a tone that I would like to strike here. I wish for you, your reader, to think that you actually know me and can (hopefully) connect with me. So today is all about me: who I am and why I'm achieving this.
I promise my ego won't shine through too strongly (let's ease into this), so continue reading:
Who Am I?
I'd want to pretend that I'm someone special, and this blogging was an excellent destiny that I'm finally fulfilling but that would be a bit over the top. I'm simply a normal guy, with a super normal name (Joe).
I work a regular job that features a pretty strict social media marketing/blogging policy, therefore i won't be talking about it much here. I have got a stable relationship by using a wonderful woman. The truth is, we just hit our first anniversary! I've been writing online inside my free time for five years now, along with the act has surprisingly fit me like a glove.
You wouldn't be aware of it at first glance, but I enjoy talk. It doesn't matter just what the subject is. Generally If I learn about it, then I'll quickly find a way to make things in to a debate or possibly a lesson. Basically If I don't know the subject well, I morph into the consummate student: asking them questions and taking things from different angle. There's the social stuff too, but I'm very likely to want to speak about an enterprise move than I am just about Kim K's latest selfie.
It's that longing for interaction and intellectual debate which has type of set me up for writing (and the modest success that I've found in the area) but that's a tale for the upcoming section.
So, Why Writing?
You realize, I actually despised writing before age of 21. It was my least favorite action to take at school. The act was time intensive, it had been the standardized test i performed the worst on, and there were one million better things that I was thinking I could possibly use my time.
I remained competent at least within my abilities though. Possessing a mother and step-father who happen to be both perfectionist high school English teachers will work that for you. I couldn't afford college after being required to move out though, therefore it was lots of fastfood work and never much writing for the first many years of my adulthood.
Then, the period that I love to call my "Great Depression" hit. My girlfriend back then broke track of me, and started dating my roommate. I hated my junk food job, and quit immediately. The bills were still coming in though, so I turned to the web for work.
I needed a great run like a freelance writer for a few years but writing the reduced-end stuff set me up for any pretty intense burnout. I wound up just going completely from the grid for roughly annually, and it also was the greatest thing to me and my writing.
As opposed to writing for clients, I would head out on the hike by using a notebook and simply jot down posts and articles of my own. They've never seen the lighting of day (and so they won't now), mostly mainly because they were pretty rough.
I started to develop a real style though, and learned a whole lot about what I liked to write and what I'm about as being a person too. At my core I'm a trainer/explainer. I wish to become the smartest guy within the room, partially for my ego but mostly because I enjoy having the answers to everyone's problems.
I finally hit my stride in 2014. I realized a person I wanted to be. I also saw that writing was my perfect platform. Having the capacity to lay things out, some point following the other, guaranteed that we could say the things i found it necessary to say.
"I Wanna Be The Very Best..."
And so the love for writing has truly been ignited in me, why wait so long to start your blog? There are two reasons: self-doubt about the quality of my writing, stemming from not enough topic.
Every writer online says you need to niche down. You must concentrate on one very specific thing to make your way of life about that. It's not the kind of person that I am. I wish to be the greatest at everything that I will. Focusing on one subject might be a death knell.
And So I manned up and chosen to shun the "comfort zone" idea of one niche. My comfort zone is sitting on a generic site, talking about whatever matters for me or my readers at any moment.
With the subject problem solved, I'm not worried much about quality anymore. I'm hyper-competitive to put it mildly. Since We have my wheelhouse, it is actually my only goal to dominate it. Every piece which i put out will serve a defined purpose. Every new piece will be much better than the very last.
