So, I decided I would take the day off today and focus on my life's goals. One of those goals was to start a blog, and to make it successful. I've had several blogs in the past, and I've been told they end up being actually good, but I've never really been serious about it. I've never reached out to share my writing with others. I've never felt proud of it. I could never get the formatting right, I could never pick a theme or a page design I appreciated, and I could never write down all my ideas before I had forgotten about them or lost the motivation for them.
This year coming up, I am hoping I can change that. I'm hoping if I can keep up with a blog this time, and find some good readers who I can keep coming back and who can keep me encouraged, I will have met that goal for a successful blog. Now, sure I'd like to get thousands of followers, sitck up a bunch of ads, collect a big paycheck from writing, and laugh at everyone I see as I'd never have to work again... but I think i'd best keep my goals small least I am disappointed.
If I had to pick a topic for why I am writing this blog about my blog starting today, it would be the new year. This upcoming year I have a short list of important goals, which I suppose makes them New Year's resolutions. Those goals are:
To find a job closer to home
To make some friends
To finish my degree
To have a successful blog
To Exercise
To not lose my passion for being a gamer
And, with that said, and with posting this blog, I am going to leave the rest of my ideas and writings gather up some steam elsewhere so you don't have an overload of blog awesomeness on your first visit. In the meantime, if anyone finds their way here, please feel free to comment. I'd like to know what other people's new years goals are, and I would appreciate any tips on what makes a successful blog.
