‘Twas a proposal by Darren that started the game,
To write of wishes and goals and aim.

A good challenge creative would we never deny
And so, in poor verse, here tell you why.

Hours passed by as we scrambled with frantic activity
To tell of our goals and express our creativity.

Just getting started in this blogging thing,
We’re not yet confident about commenting.

So one of our goals, that has become,
To leave our two cents worth, unless it is “Ummmm”

For this blog we wish certain things to provide
And hope that web-wanderers won’t run and hide.

Inspiration, ideas and a friendly place to discuss
Creativity and how it benefits each of us.

Some money to earn, though there we’re behind
Ads must be placed and and audience we find.

Posting more often, our brain it may strain
But to reach our goals, laziness we need to restrain.

We hope that our goals, not written in prose
Provide entertainment and are not too verbose.

Wandering reader, we hope to stay you will chose,
lest hope for success of this blog we should lose.

Over the past few months, I’ve been searching out various blogs and websites that have to do with creativity - focussing mostly on writing. One of the blogs that I stumbled across is Ink in My Coffee by Devon Ellington. Devon built a career on Broadway working backstage. Over the last year and a half, she’s been transitioning from theatre to full-time writing. Ink in My Coffee is her record of the ups and downs of making this change.

I would recommend it to anyone who is considering making such a transition - but beware, Devon is very outspoken about what she believes in. If you are easily offended, this may not be a blog you want to read. If, on the other hand, you don’t mind, Devon’s approach to writing and transitioning to it as a career provide not only inspiration, but some creative ideas and solutions as well. Whether you’re writing as a hobby or trying to make a career of it, she has a lot of insight and ideas for how to go about it.

As of today, I have added Devon’s blog to the links in the sidebar.
