Lets Start Something New

This is an example post, a first draft, get your butt started, officially published and out in the universe type of post.

I woke up today and said it. You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how it looks. Don’t worry if I haven’t given it a name yet, or I feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell the world why I’m here.

Why did I do this?

• Because it will help me focus on my own ideas
• Because it get the messy part of starting something new out of the way
• Because it will begin the conversation of what I’d like to do. What I am doing here. What am I about? Why should others read my blog?

This post and the next few are going to be short, or maybe they are going to be long. One thing for certain is that they are going to have lots of spelling mistakes and the grammar will not be perfect. As I get these first few posts out there and that all too familiar fear of failure drifts away, and that desire to achieve perfection levels out to something much more achievable I am going to re-release that all too necessary mission statement, a manifesto for the future of the types of things I hope to publish.

To help get started, here are a few questions the internet said I should answer:

• Why am I blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do I think I’ll write about?
• Who would I love to connect with via my blog?
• If I blog successfully throughout the next year, what would I hope to have accomplished?

Before I get to answering those, and articulating my goals I want to remind myself that none of it matters. The wonderful things about life is how it constantly changes. Nothing stays the same. This blog will evolve as I learn, grow, and interact with the world. But, just for now, I am going to just let you know I am here and that it is only going to get more interesting.
