This week for the Writers Workshop I picked #3-What do you find most challenging about blogging?
I find a lot about blogging challenging but that is because I want to know how everything works. I am getting into design blogs and that leaves little time to actually write blog posts. It amazes me how people can design blogs and also find time to blog as well. I guess part of my problem is that I work from 8-5 Monday through Friday and then go home at work on designs. I seem to be working all the time and that leaves little time to actually blog. I also have a hard time trying to figure out what I want to write. I have tons of post sitting in my drafts folder but I don’t know how to finish any of them. I always have great ideas for post and then after I start them I get busy and never finish them.
I picked #4-A country you would like to visit. There are so many different countries that I would like to visit. I have always wanted to travel and go all over the world but if I could only pick one I would pick Australia.
I have cousins that are from there and there is also so many fun things I want to see. I am hoping that one day I will have the money so that I can go there and site see. The men also are super sexy when they talk. They have so many cool animals. There is just so much culture down there. I am saving my penny’s so that I can go one day!
These are the prompts for this week: 1.) Six Word Memoir: Write about a significant time in your life in just six words. 2.) “One need not be a chamber to be haunted, One need not be a house. The brain has corridors surpassing material place”. –Emily Dickinson What haunts you? 3.) Describe a talent or flaw that seems to be in your genes. 4.) What are you passionate about? 5.) Comfort food at it’s finest. Share a family favorite recipe you loved as a child.
I am having a hard time picking one to write about. I am going to write about #4-Something I am passionate about. I am passionate about a few things but the main one is probably trying to teach others about MS. I just want to bring awareness to the disease in hopes that people are getting diagnosed they aren’t alone. I know when I was diagnosed I was scared to death and what made it worse was there was no one around my age that had the disease. I am finally getting to the point where people my age are getting it. i just want people know be able to get the support that I found lacking when it come to MS and even other invisible illnesses.
I am also really passionate about raising awareness about adoption but more importantly I want to get help for the birth mothers that are left out in the cold. I wish people could see the great things these women and be their for them but usually birth mom’s end up getting judged because of what we choice to do with our children. For those that may not know I am a birth mom. I placed my daughter for adoption almost 6 years ago now. Since then I have found that there aren’t places for birth parents to go and get support when they are having hard days. I have started a blog and Facebook page for birth moms. I am also considering starting a support group in the Salt Lake City area for birth moms but I am not sure how to go about starting that.
Anyways those are 2 of the things that I am passionate about. There a few more but those two are on very top of the list.
This week for the writers workshop I am going to write about 1.) What was your big dream for yourself when you were 18 and had graduated from high school?
The one dream I had when I graduated was to finish college and become a nurse. I wanted to work in either the ER or as a life flight nurse. I feel like I gave up on my dreams because I got pregnant and then lost the will to go back to school. I am hoping that one day I will go back and finish my degree but I don’t know if it will happen. I also am not sure if I even want to be a nurse anymore.
This is a short post but oh well! I want to welcome all my new followers and tell everyone that reads my blog thank you!
This week for the writers workshop I am going to write about 1.) If you had to go back to high school, how would you do it differently?
I hated everything about high school because it was pure hell for me but if I could go back and do something again I would have graduated early. I would have worked my ass off so that I could get away from the bullies and also get a head start on college. Also my high school had a program where you could take college classes and get credits for high school. I wish I would have looked more in to that as well because if I had done that I may have finished college and be at a totally different place in my life. I believe that if I had more college done before I graduated I would have a degree by now.
