Day 1 of 31 Days to Build a Better Blog

 Oh my brain is so tired! I had a really awful day - upset my best friend unintentionally; was little help to my Mum who is still searching for an outfit for my sister's wedding in less than 2 weeks; and then had to cover part of a shift at the alcohol rehab - which was actually a good, productive shift, but I spent most of it worrying about EVERYTHING!

But I signed up for this so I'm going to start it!

Basically, today was about how to write an elevator pitch for your blog. Wikipedia states:“An elevator pitch is an overview of an idea for a product, service, or project. The name reflects the fact that an elevator pitch can be delivered in the time span of an elevator ride (for example, thirty seconds or 100-150 words).”

So I had to think about what my blog is about and also about what direction I want to see it take. To be honest, brain fuzz is apparent, so nothing earth shattering hit me! I decided I actually like my Facebook pitch, which has been refined over the last year - "An aspiring novelist, avid reader, keen photographer and lover of travel, I'm Mummy to two gorgeous girls, wife to Andrew, and adoptive Mummy to two mad cats! And the two most important things in my life are my God and my family. I Twitter & Blog." So my 'elevator pitch' for my blog would be along those lines.

A writer, avid reader, keen photographer and lover of travel, I am Mummy to two gorgeous girls, wife to a Highland lad, and adoptive Mummy to two mad cats! The most important things in my life are my God and my family - come join me in my journey with them.

:love: Sounds good to me! I too now have trouble keeping up with my blogging because of Facebook...I refuse to even get a Twitter account. It's unfortunate, because xanga is so much better for photo journalism type blogging and meeting wonderful "strangers" like you
