The past two days, I’ve been tied up in workshops during the day. One of the benefits (I guess you call it that) my company provided me when they laid me off was the opportunity to attend this workshop, called “Marketing Yourself”. It’s about how to go about finding a job… writing resumes, preparing for interviews… that kind of thing.
Then, today, before I could even get started with the resume bit, I had an interview! I am considering trying my hand at consulting for the short term, though I DO think that down the road, I’d want to go back in to full time position somewhere. We’ll see where it goes.
Tonight, Scott and I’ll be meeting a couple of friends over dinner to discuss an upcoming project that we are working on. So, for now, I just have a little time to get something “on paper”… or more to the point, on blog. I want to post something today, even if it’s not too much… I need to get in to the practice.
My problem is, unfortunately, that I think I shouldn’t post something unless it’s something of depth. I read enough blogs, though, where there’s very little of depth (NO! Fellow pilgrim, I’m not referring to YOURS. Your ministry, via your blog is important.) And yet those blogs are followed by far more than will ever follow this. So… I shall learn from them!
Another friend of mine is encouraging me to use my out of work time to start creative writing. This here bloggy will be the publisher of anything I write… should I actually do so! Problem for me: What do I write about? Give me a topic, oh brain. Surely, I’m not quite so vacant-minded that I can’t even do that? Sigh. We’ll see.
With all the beauty the surrounds you and the life you lead you don’t have anything to write about??? Write about your passions, your urgings, your good days and bad. I usually write about what moves me, what angers me, what God shows me. The more you write creatively and specifically will help you become a better writer.
