But I'm also really good at givin' out advice. Oh MAN, am I ever!
Sound familiar to anyone?
*sigh*
Recently, I've been speakin' with the ladies on the D-Listers Team May Forum thread about blogs, giveaways, not-enough-time-in-each-day and "If I plan an awesome party, will they come?" syndrome.
It's not necessarily a pity party; it's more like a "I have this problem. Oh. You have that problem too? Holy crap. No WAY! Man, it's hard" kind of a party.
But being a solution minded type of girl, I thought that maybe we could do something about it. So I suggested that maybe we could hold a team challenge to get us all motivated...
And then this little light bulb went on...
I need to get rockin'! I can yap-yap-yap and dish out awesomeness (like the most solid gold bricks of knowledge that I've stored away in the recesses of my noggin!) til I'm blue in the effin' face, but truth is that you can't preach somethin' that you haven't practised.
Plus, whatever happen to my "Awesome-ating" blogging aspect!? (read two posts down)
SO, BALLS! I've got to get off my tush o' mush and rock some cool topics.
Some of the amazing items that you can look forward to this week are:
- "How I End Up Makin' a Comic in a Couple of Days": This post will be featuring the entire process behind my recent submission to PAPERLINKS.oRG
- "Gettin' a Small Space to Look Like a Big Business": I haven't got a lot of resources (monetarily speaking) to be able to run my business and since I'm unemployed, it makes it even harder to make my business look & feel professional (Spending money to make money is hard when you gots none, yo!). So, I plan on sharing a few steps that I've taken to represent NerdJerk as a whole.
- "What Did You Wanna Be When You Grew Up? : Knowing Your Roots & Using Them to Help Motivate Yourself": I've got some potentially embarrassing pictures (including a 6 year old self with a mullet) to illustrate the fact that knowing who you were when you were a kid, livin' in dreamland and remembering what it is that you dreamt about can really help you keep focus in the long run.
Plus, some Etsy sellers, fellow artists & awesome items should be featured as well!
So, if you're remotely interested in reading about this AND/OR taking part in this (such as being featured/interviewed), please feel free to follow this blog AND/OR email me.
Comments & concerns completely encouraged!

ReplyDeletethanks for the motivation :)

It's not goin' to be easy, especially if you've got Picnik addictions like us! :) But you can COMBINE Picnik collages and your blog for a more exciting & insightful way to exhibit your creativity, Mayi. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you posted this!! I need to get motivated too, except might I say that your blog design is so awesome and way further along than mine! Consider yourself already accomplished.
ReplyDeleteAww, Feisty! You're makin' me blush!
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to get people motivated to want to create as I've not always been very good about creating.
This way I'm able to create in one way (crochet) or another (writing).
p.s. The blog design was a template from Blogger. Trust me.. this was NOT my doing! hehe
How do I get involved in this ish? Or is it too late? HA! May 5th 2010 was the last comment.
