Free-writing vs posting

Filed under: journal — Tags: , , — ecko @ 12:17 pm

there are times that I wonder what I am doing as a writer, vlogger, and such. and I think that what I have realized this is coming to is that if I want to be more successful than what I see now I am going to have to work at it a little more.  I will have to hone my crafts and do where I haven’t done before.

This is also to apply to procrastination as well as better ways to wast time.

What does this all mean, it means I am stepping up my game. I am stepping up how I do my business. instead of slacking off so much I am going to do. not say I’m going to do as much.

Vlogs are coming to have a purpose and are getting there own site

my main business with DVNT tech will have its own site as a contact funnel.

and this site is still going to be my personal home for writing these random thoughts.

OK, but what is up with the name of this post?

well it was titled because I always wonder should I free write before writing a blog post or not. some days my blog post is my free writing (like today).  then other days I have written the same thing in my head about 30+ times and the words come a little more naturally to me then.

So what is up with all that stuff at the top.

I am writing down goals and tasks that I need to accomplish, as well as warming up for all the other writing I need to accomplish. so as I feel this posting coming to an end and others floating around I bid you adieu.

but what is even worse is when you write and then let it sit for a few days to marinate and let other ideas grow as well. then come back edit and post. that is what I am learning to do. is write 1-3 post a day and tweak on them as I draft others and post when needed.

Your never perfect with social media

Wow that is a harsh title, but it is true. I came to this title whiles putting next and previous annotations on some of my videos.I stopped doing this about 1/2 way through. I stopped because I realized that in social media you have to keep up with things and constantly evolve.

constant evolution and progression you should not always worry about some of your old media. while for other things you should make sure all things are updated and continue to move forward. I know that with my vlog I want as much connectedness as possible yet I doubt that many people as they come to my vlog will go back to the very first days i was vlogging.

as of this writing the former 22 or so days has been connected back and forth up to current. I did this so i could start keeping my annotations up to date and that it would be easier to go back and forth. I also did this to get a little more familiar with adding annotations and work flow.

Now back on point, you will not always do things right in social media the first round. it is learning how to move on from failure or up from the bottom. it is about trial and error, and error correction through mitigation. it is about knowing what to connect where to connect it and how to build and nurture the relationships that follow.

Social Media is a place for humans to do business with other humans. we are in an age where business has to be transparent to be trusted and for a human to be on the other end of the connection. in this era we are making new paths and new ways. we should also fully expect that those behind us will change the way they do business in there own time.

What is your thoughts?

A week of Passion

Filed under: journal,social — Tags: , , , — ecko @ 2:48 pm

This is not some reference to the passion week of Christ before his Crucifixion. No this is something you may hear through out the interwebs. That you have to find a passion and run after it.
This week has been an interesting one, Monday through Friday. Everyday I have found someone or something that reminded me about passion. And it has shaped my week and given me a new prospective on this subject.

Monday

It was raining and lo in behold some Mormons came rapping at my door. This just showed me how much passion that they put in there faith. And duty to the church and the call of Christ to “go forth and make disciples in all nations.”

Could you say you have that kind of passion to go out in the rain and do what you love?

Tuesday & Wednesday

I stayed home and was watching other peoples Vlogs. I saw there passion for just having a great time, or time with their family. All this started to influence my thoughts this week.

Are you willing to share your passion with your family?

Thursday

I did what I now refer to as my normal Thursday rut. But it is not a rut  I go and volunteer and I enjoy helping others in need. It is one of my passions to help others be in a better place in life.

Does your passion help others? can you help others with your passion?

Friday

I started out the day strong and got my vlog up. and it is after posting my own that I watch others I subscribe to. In watching this morning I saw that t-rave.com‘s vlog was on passion (he also shouted me on this subject).

Can others see what you are passionate about through you?

the questions have been asked, what is your response?

Just so you know, my passions include God, computers, Linux, volunteering, family, and friends.
