Jeff Goin's blog is ranked in the top ten of creative writing blogs. I'm not sure if that makes him a big deal or not, but his latest post made me feel better about the uncertainty of what in the world to do with my life (besides avoiding the Three Biggies and losing my wallet).
It's encouraging to know Jeff doesn't know what he's doing either and is successful at it. So I will sleep well tonight knowing it is completely acceptable to have no plan for my future and it could actually be a real money maker.
Then again, at least Jeff has a name for his blog which is something I still need to figure out. But there's a lot to consider before finalizing a url. For example, Jeff's blog www.goinswriter.com is unique, but at first glance could be mistaken for a groin update. Maybe it's just because I've been writing about crotches.
Anyway, I'm following Jeff's advice and that's the plan, Stan.
(I just checked to see if www.theplanstan.com is available, and sadly it is not. Need to keep thinking.)
I just caught up with your blog Christy. You are an amazing writer and deserve to have something published!
ReplyDeleteI'm a helpful sort of Aunt so will send you a list of my... great.. ideas for you new name. 8o)
I need ideas! I just tried to get www.coolchange.com (I like that Little River Band Song, plus it is cold here, plus it is broad in terms of topics to address and I'm not sure what I want to write about yet). Anyway it was taken. And now I'm out of ideas.
