“Hey I’m writing a blog now.”
“You are? What’s it about?”
“Um………..”
Many months ago, I wrote those words, not knowing where this journey would take me. It’s been a pretty badass path so far that I’ve been able to tread thanks to the world of the internets.
I have always been a writer in my heart, but obligations, motherhood and life in general have kept that dream on the back burner for many years. So far back that the burner must have been in someone else’s kitchen.
Now, with a new life in front of me where the decisions are mine and always supported by those who love me, I have decided to make this dream a reality.
Soon, I may be job hunting in a new city, so what better time to see if I can actually make a go of this?
Writing, editing, proofreading, social media coaching and brand building, virtual assisting, research, etc. I want to do all of it. My current focus is to concentrate on the small businesses who might feel like they are being trampled and left behind by the internet marketing revolution.
I plan to offer a Social Media 101 for those who can neither afford a social media staffer nor a consultant. I don’t claim to be an expert. I claim to be a person who had absolutely no web presence one year ago, and now am kinda sorta all over the place. It cost me nothing but time, and I can show you how to do it too.
Please stay tuned friends, as I hope to build and unveil my shiny new website to help you grow an online presence~ a presence that sends the message you want to send~in the near future.
This will be all kinds of free to online viewers, subscribers and friends. Of course, there will be tons of shiny ads to click to keep me from having to go out into the real world to flip burgers. Cuz, frankly, I’m way too old for that shit, so your support would be greatly appreciated.
If you are in the central Nebraska area, and need real world help, but your funds are limited, look me up. Let’s help each other out!
If you have a message, and you need it delivered with real world wordy words for real live people to read, want it funny and memorable, and wouldn’t mind a few pics with killer captions thrown in, I’m the gorilla your dreams. As long as there’s something in it for me. Like money…or cookies….or awards and accolades….or more cookies.
I am waiting at the other end of this contact form to hear your unbelievable offer of fame and fortune.

Hi,
This is just to let you know that I have nominated you for the ‘Reader Appreciation Award’. If you chose to accept it, here are the rules: http://wp.me/p2v1s2-rD
Kind Regards,
Daniela
Consider me your new false friend! Kidding. What a fun, fresh blog you have. Plus, I’m a sucker for recipes. And, we writers need to stick together!
Why thanks! My biggest problem is figuring out what to write–not having trouble finding stuff-but choosing what crazy stuff to post! I have so many stupid ideas, I forget most of them before I get a chance to post. I really do love to cook, and want to put a ton of recipes here. Last night I made authentic enchiladas, taught to me by an authentic Mexican–but I didn’t want to get goo all over my Droid taking pics. Prince Charming was busy playing disc golf with one of the kids. It needs four hands to make and photograph, but unfortunately, I only have two. Stay tuned though- I do intend to post it someday. It’s a recipe worth having, but you do need to see how it’s done. Thanks for being my new fake friend!
Hey . . . what are fake friends for?
Looking forward to your enchilada recipe!
I nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award here:
http://thoughtsofalunatic.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/one-lovely-blog-award-nominations/
Wow! Thanks so much!!!
Of course
I just read what you wrote about me, What a nice way to phrase the fact that I severly lack focus. -Thanks again!
I finally made my way here to read your “about.” You are a professional writer! I bow down to your greatness. My claim to fame is writing weight loss training manuals – and cranking out my slightly madcap books. Sent you an email, but it keeps bouncing back. Will try again later!
Ohmygosh Maddie. I would not say I’m a professional writer. Not even close. Damn, I do know how to toot my own wiener whistle, don’t I? All the writing I actually got “paid” for was so many years ago it’s hardly worth mentioning. I didn’t want to look like a completely unqualified moron when I started writing this little blog.
Thanks for the nomination for “One Lovely Blog”! Here is your “Thanks”!

Shiny new husband? You must break him…completely.
Oh, no no no. He’s perfect just the way he is. In fact, you should see his impression of Whole Home DVR Guy. It’s absolutely hilarious.
If there is one kind of diva I like its the cheeky diva
I remember when I was a shiny new husband, I smell like lavender body and banality . Awesome blog !!!!

Hi there, and thank you! I do tend to let these pile up. Oops. I need to address them. So many nice people nominated me for stuff in the last month or so. I should post them on my blog somewhere too.
I concur. Like a doctor.
Like Dr. Frank Abignale? ‘Member him? Wasn’t that his name? The guy from Catch Me If You Can?

Congrats on thats! Nice job.
Thanks so much! You know, you were one of my very first readers and friends here. Can’t thank you enough. I’m hoping soon I’ll be able to leave my crappy corner to do it full time.
I’m hoping that someday I’ll get paid for my writing.
And I hope so too. You are amazing. I just got lucky.
Nope. You’re amazing.
Blushing….:-)
I’m so proud of you. You set your mind to finding even more creative outlets – and you were successful. You constantly amaze me. Congratulations, Julie! Love and hugs!
Thanks! Just finished book number two by the way! Loved it! Don’t let me forget to leave a glowing review!

I have to say this about that — when I saw ‘gorilla your dreams,’ I laughed out loud and knew I had to respond.
That is what my dear hubby calls me, especially when I haven’t shaved my legs in a while.
Love the blog!
Ha ha! Thank you so much! I appreciate your reading and your words so much. And to think I all but abandoned this little brain(dead) child of mine. Bloggers are such wonderful folks, they’ve been poking their heads in the door to see if I’m still breathing, even though I’ve barely written anything the last couple of months, and this morning I’ve had a lot of readers already.
Welcome to my place, and thanks again for being a new friend!
