I have found that a brain unused atrophies. Mine needs to be used and challenged in some new ways. Preferably in ways, I enjoy.
After a lovely vacation in Mendocino with family and friends, I’m back at it. My job hunt has continued and now I’m entertaining having a side gig. Not just writing for fun but hopefully writing for funding! I’m looking to build on what I love and try to make some income. A new friend suggested I work with her Web Development as her customers are always looking for content. She has given me some guidance to hopefully do some side work. If it grows into something bigger, all the better! I am, however mildly terrified. I have always felt more comfortable working for others, but since I haven’t developed in the areas I would like, or had the best managerial experience with my last manager, I thought it might be time to jump into the deep end. If I don’t like the work there is only myself to blame! If I want a different destiny I need to start creating it.
So over the next few weeks, I need to put together a marketing plan and business plan, which should prove interesting as I have never done this before. But if millions of others of Americans can start their own business, why not me? I like finding out what inspires people and to hopefully use my writing skills, I can apply that to companies who want to market themselves. I’m particularly interested in creating narratives online that makes people curious and pursue these businesses. We shall see what happens. So if you know of someone looking to create an online presence or maybe just have someone put into words what their vision is, please consider reaching out!
