My Name's Dee and I'm an Addict
I need to admit I'm addicted to blogging.
I HAD 8 blogs and just started my 9th one last night.
I have my original blog that I started when I was upset with Sprint and needed to blow off steam.
I then started an educational blog for people with lung disease. Since I was involved in education at the hospital and in home care I felt there was something lacking and so many of my patients slipped through the cracks because nobody took the time to educate them. I ran out of steam after about 7 months and abandoned it but it still got a lot of traffic so I reinvented it and it's now about health concerns in general and I've had a few guest posts.
I then started a Christian blog when I noticed my focus on the original one was changing and I didn't want these messages getting lost in there.
Then I started a blog for kids that was the adventures of my 2 puppies and written from the point of view of the puppies.
After that I was doing TV show reviews for a woman for pay. I wrote on 3 of her sites. She had about 20 people writing on 50+ sites. She decided she wasn't getting the ad revenue she wanted so shut them down but made us an offer to own our sites for $10/month. I figured I could write the reviews on my own blog so I created another one for all the shows I like.
Then I wanted to try a different blogging platform but needed an idea for a new blog so I did I'm Not a Domestic Goddess But I Try. I talk about my journey to becoming a domestic goddess and my mistakes. I laugh at myself and share some recipes and tips. I even share the recipes I mess up on and where I failed.
I was doing product reviews for a woman on her site and realized I could do this so I now have a review and giveaway site. I started getting more reviews than I could handle and now have 6 women writing for me. There's no pay but they get to keep the products they review and we're putting together a Holiday Gift Guide with numerous giveaways.
I wanted to check out YET another blogging platform and needed another idea so I started one about the adventure and culture shock of moving from Chicago to a small town in southeast Alabama. My goal was to feature things happening in the area and do restaurant reviews if possible. Not doing much with it right now.
The last one I just started 2 days ago. I belong to a forum for women and they just started a section for writers and are giving us a writers challenge either monthly or every 2 weeks. The first one they put up a photo and had us write a minimum 500 word story from that photo. We could post it on the forum or our own site. I put it on one of my blogs then had this epiphiny that I could start a new site just for those stories.
I think I enjoy the creative side of getting a blog set up. I like the rush I get when the idea hits me. Thinking of the name, hunting for the right look then doing the first post. After a while I start twitching and need to start another one.
Do you have any hobbies or anything you LOVE to do or get an adrenaline rush just thinking of starting.
