Blogging is a difficult task to keep up with, especially when you don’t have a specific idea or goal I mind. So, in my return to form (don’t look at my last blog post, where I said I was coming back, please don’t click this link and relive my embarrassment), I’ve decided to decide my niche (say that however you phonetically wish to).

With no surprise what’s so ever, I will be diving into marketing and advertising—this includes anything and everything that can be associated with it. What do I mean? Well, marketing and advertising are both broad terms by themselves, they are closer to tools of any industry rather than a full branch. You can think of them as the leaves in bloom on a tree. A company that excels in its marketing and advertising is almost always in bloom.

They are a sight to behold, people will gather beneath the tree to enjoy a fine picnic meal… to just soak in all the shade, comfort, and beauty that it has to provide. Some trees are in the midst of their summer days, simply basking in the warm—sometimes hot rays of the sun. Others begin to turn to those autumn days, where the leaves begin to scatter and spread, it’s a fleeting but beautiful sight.

Now, just to round out this metaphor, we come to winter, not a single leaf to be found (unless you’re an odd conifer tree, that keeps it going all year around, but grows slowly). If you don’t have marketing or advertising, well, you can consider yourself to be in two states; dormant or barren.

If you don’t use marketing or advertising, well, you may just be barren. If you once used it, but just kind of let it get quiet without putting out more content, then you’ve fallen dormant.

With my sloppy metaphor out of the way, I can now explain to you what I’m trying to do here.

What Am I Doing?

Just… what AM I doing?

Blogging for any and all who happen to catch a glimpse at those website, which I call mine.

So, looking back at my previous blog posts, I noticed one key thing, that I wasn’t fully comfortable with. I think I wasn’t really using my voice very much or at all. I was attempting to speak from a place of authority, even though I have no strong background to do such a thing.

From this post on I will be taking a different approach. I will evolve my writing and incorporate my voice and opinion into each blog post. I will find a topic I wish to discuss and just dive into head first.

Will it be perfect? Certainly not.

Will it always make sense? Probably not.

Will it always stay on track with the goal or topic? Almost always certainly… A lot of words, for yes, but it will have the small caveat of a lot of metaphorical speaking that may just confuse more than it explains. (See tree metaphor above)

Will I be consistent? With chutzpah and moxie, I’ll certainly try to be weekly (some week may be twice a week!).

Will you see new content? Yes! Yes you shall!

Where can I find you? I’m glad you asked dear reader (yes, I am calling you my DEAR read—don’t worry it’s a momentary thing), you can find me on about 2 other platforms. More platforms are pending.

What are your plans for world domination? Oh, you know, the same as every other writer, some sweet empty words, followed up by dashing projects that aim to wow passersby.

What’s Next?

The same as usual. More writing and evolving styles and platforms. A return to form, but with a new flair and different approach.

I’m trying to discover my voice, all for the goal of helping someone out there discover theirs.

Should be a fun journey.
