Can I just say how much this blog is giving me relief?
Just letting my stream-of-consciousness come out here makes writing fun.
Never, ever, in my life would I have thought I would say writing was fun.
No joke.
I studied art. Majored in painting. Minored in art history.
Yes, I briefly toyed with the idea of being an art historian. Boy, would my life be different.
Worked at a couple ad agencies. Designed all sorts of things before moving my focus to marketing.
Honestly, I was a fair designer and artist. Not terrible. Not good. And it was a struggle so moving to marketing was the best choice. I found my happy place there too.
I hired copywriters. I was NOT a copywriter.
I have great respect for copywriters.
I ain't one.
Enter becoming an entrepreneur.
With my background in marketing, I felt comfortable writing a marketing plan (hell, I've been teaching people how to do this for years) but I needed to do the writing for my business. Money is a thing, or lack thereof, when you are bootstrapping a business.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
A couple years later, I decided that I needed to including blogging to improve my SEO. And hell yes, it did! I've been doing it for almost 6 years now and I OWN the coworking SEO in Atlanta.
And was it easy. Nope. I still felt like a crappy writer.
Enter deciding to write a book. What the hell!?! I was crazy but driven.
Full disclosure: I hired a ghostwriter to help me with the book and better money was never spent.
Since my coworking biz benefited so much from blogging, I then added blogging to my mindfulness business.
Because, you know, I never have enough to be keep me busy. 😜
I'm the queen of tweaking pages and posts to maximize the SEO (read above). And for YEARS whenever I'm writing I'm reading it 20-30-50 times before releasing it into the wild. All while making sure the SEO is maxed out.
So, just writing what I want without giving a 🐀-ass if anyone reads it is a beautiful thing.
P.S. I did warn you about the giphy addiction.
