Pen to Paper, Tips to Keys…Just Start Writing

Ever since I wrote my first book and only book (as of right now), I’ve wanted to start a blog. I have so many ideas swirling around in my head, and even though I jot some of them down onto paper, I rarely share them with anyone (Well, of course I share them with the hubz Gian).

I thought my ideas were too sporadic and that really held me back from writing a blog. Another interesting fact is that I really contemplated on whether or not I should use my pen name. Es Kay Johns published a children’s book, and this blog isn’t necessarily aimed for children. But in the end I’ve decided that my blog will be a place for me to express myself and bring my ideas to fruition. At most, anything I post here will be PG-13, but if I do decide to make something NC-17, I’ll be sure to make it known.

As I’ve mentioned before, I have had many ideas about what to blog about. It’s hard to keep the list short, but here are the general items:

  • Children’s book themes:
    • More anti-bullying books
    • Self esteem
    • Asking for help
    • Everyone is different
  • Poetry
  • Comic strips
  • Short stories
    • Random ones
    • Super power universe
  • Travel
  • General things in my life

What I will focus on (in no particular order):

#Poetry – I like writing poetry even though I don’t write it often. If I like a piece that I would like to share, I will definitely post it.

#Comics – As much as I’d love to make them, they probably won’t pop up too often because they take up a lot of my time doing them. Key words there are “too often.” Maybe this will give me the drive I need.

#Shorties or Short Stories – These posts will appear quite frequently on my blog. I really want to take the people in my life and events that happen and turn them into a super powered story. I’ll go into this in a future post.

#Travel – We are frequent travelers, so you will definitely see posts about where we’ve been and our experience there.

What I’ll pass on:

Children’s Books – I’m still working on children’s books; therefore, this isn’t the forum for it.  I will still blog about the themes as they are quite important to me.

#General – I used to blog about my life almost every single day. It was tiring, yet satisfying. You’ll receive glimpses into my life through the topics above, but I won’t treat this as a daily journal.

With all of that being said, I’m probably going start off posting weekly. The more I get into the groove of free writing and editing, designing, formatting, and making time to actually get this on here, I’ll increase the load.

I really hope you guys enjoy this collection of spontaneous thoughts.

Here goes nothing.
