Intro: Me.
“Never forget, how wildly capable you are” -Lauren Frontiera
I’ll never forget the first time I was introduced to the concept of blog writing. It was 2012 — not even close to the date when blogging first came on the scene, but you should know I’m not always the first to know what’s “trending.” Anyway, I was in college taking a drawing class and my professor, Beverly Rhoads — who I do hope reads this one day — insisted that the way to become a famous artist was to keep a blog. As any great professor would, she attempted to get us all to keep a blog. We had to write at least one post, comment, like, and share other people’s content in the art world. Did I do this? No. In fact, I thought she was wrong, and that blogs would just be a fad. Ha. Ha. Bev, you were right.
Here we are almost a decade later and blogs are not only thriving, but they are an integral part of marketing, business, and SEO. And blogging can even turn into a full-time career.
So, as we embark on this blogging journey together, I feel as if I should start by sharing a little bit about me. People say they don’t actually enjoy writing about themselves, but I think we all have a small dose of narcissism — so here goes nothing!
Five facts about Lindsey Nix in (no particular order).
This is probably the eighth blog post I’ve written (first published), but I seem to like this one so far.
I’m a person who uses all the words to compose my sentences. Verbose, loquacious, talkative — you pick the adjective it doesn’t matter, I’m all of them. The point being, I’ll try to keep these concise although the creative writer in me will have a hard time.
I always need to be doing more than one thing. I get it from my mother, the queen of all crafters. You name a craft and she’s done it: scrapbooking, woodwork, quilting, painting, cross stitching, etc. I’m also to tinker, a trait inherited from my father.
My world wouldn’t be the same without my little community, or as the cool kids say — my tribe. Either way, my people, the ones who get me, start with my husband. I won’t make this an Oscar speech and name them all out, but you know who you are.
I don’t actually know where I’m going with this blog yet, but as the aforementioned quote states: I am wildly capable and it’s time to take the leap of faith in myself.
