I have been both inspired and challenged by the Yeah Write Summer Series “31 Days to Build a Better Blog.” There have been a few activities I’ve skipped for now (I’m still working up the courage to take a solo trip to the mall), but I’ve otherwise been working through each of the daily tasks in an effort to make this blog better. I developed an elevator pitch for the blog and updated the About page. I’ve been forced to think about what I want to accomplish here in my corner of the blogosphere.
And then I’ve proceeded to write several blog posts completely unrelated to my niche.
Last Monday night, I could not sleep until I wrote down a story. All the mind mapping for Day 7 must have rattled memories loose. I wrote, edited, rearranged, proofread, fixed things and wrote some more until I was satisfied.
And then I had to figure out what to do with the post.
Here is where I give a big “Thank you!” to Christie over at Outlaw Mama. Christie is a 2013 BlogHer Voice of the Year who I met through Yeah Write. She began a series called “Kiss My (Gl)ass Ceiling” for bloggers to share work stories. She published my tale of micromanaged misery today. Please stop by and read it here.
Boy, that song brought back memories. As a kid, I loved to scream the AND SHOVE IT part.

That song just doesn’t get old.

I loved your post over on Christie’s blog. I’ve been the worst follower of 31dbbb. I had such good intentions, but life got way busier than I anticipated. I’ll go back and catch up at some point, I hope 🙂

I’m keeping a list so I can mark off the tasks I’ve finished and go back to the ones I either need more time for
