Does a blog that people will read and follow actually exist? Can I create one, too?
I have a lot of online friends… both in the blogging world and on various chat sites. The latter perhaps may be a shock to some of my blogging friends and perhaps to some of my “real” friends. I put “real” in quotes because I believe all friends are real… regardless of whether you’ve ever met them or even ever spoken with them in “real” life (aka ‘in person’). But in this instance (mentioning “real” friends), I am referring to the friends I actually have met in person. Confused? Good! So am I! ha!
I’m throwing this out there to see what people will think. I love to write. I’ve been told by several people that I’m a good writer. (I could devote a whole blog JUST to that. No, not a whole blogpost but a whole blog! In other words, a blog about what a good writer is, does, thinks, etc.) I would LOVE to be able to write “for profit.” And no, I’m not interested in being a millionaire or even a thousandaire (if there was such a thing). But, I am passionate about writing and wish that it indeed could be my sole income source. Alas, I’m currently “just” a day care teacher. I have nothing against being a day care teacher, per se. I just know that it doesn’t stretch or even use all of my intelligence, and therefore, my brain is still telling me, “There’s got to be more!” (I could devote a whole blog just to how a day care teacher could possibly expand his/her ‘ideals’ simply by studying the children he/she cares for. (I keep caveating in my head about this. Even ending that sentence with a preposition is something I could caveat about. Ugh! There I go again!))
So what’s my point? I want to write. I want to be paid to write even if that means that I’m being paid by companies/businesses that would advertise on my blog. I think my blog should have a creative name beyond Anita’s Antics, though, because my life is certainly about more than just my antics. I’m considering making it an anonymous blog because I know that I’ll (most likely) be more willing to write about things that some of the people who REALLY know me would consider VERY shocking. And, I’ll probably have a bigger following if I’m able to write about those things because those things even shock me!
If you (the reader of this post) have ANY ideas about what I might call a blog like that, please let me know. Also, if there’s a topic you’d like me to blog, please let me know. I’d be willing to blog about just about anything. No, not “just about”… I will (if given the proper ‘stage’) write about anything.
Oh, and by the way, this is me. Or at least a picture of what I looked like this past Sunday. I may never be this “real” again. 😉
