polls & extraverts

Well, hey there! It's been awhile since I've just sat down to write in this little blog, so I have no plan today except to just check-in & word purge a little. I already regret using the term "word purge," but oh well.

< --- POLL ALERT! Read on. It will all make sense

So far, this year has allowed for a lot of changes. These changes are wonderful & empowering & allow me to pursue my creative outlets/attempt to make a career out of them. CRAZY, I know, & it's so much harder than I ever could have anticipated... But I know that this part -- this today & tomorrow & oops-forgot-to-do-that-yesterday is the hard part. Fingers crossed that it's the hard part that I look back on with a wrist flip & laugh as I say, "OHHH, those were the days!"

This buzzfeed article has been circulating through my various social media feeds for the last day or so, & while I laughed, it's also caused me to think. I am an extrovert through & through (#9 is actually something that I would consider a fear. Fear is a slight exaggeration, MAYBE, but kindanoseriously.) Even while working in a super social office setting, I daydreamed about knocking the wall out between me & my boss' office so even if we weren't talking, I wasn't alone in an office. This isn't an awkward blogger confession. I will readily admit to anyone that I am a social butterfly leech.

That being said, I'm home frequently now. More frequently than perhaps I have ever been, made even more notable by the fact that I would never choose to be alone for the amounts of time that I am now facing. Productivity lasts for awhile, but then it just starts feeling quiet. Too quiet. So, I need a game plan. & this is where you come in.

Writing here is fun, but it would be great to have a purpose, & to get to know my audience just a wee bit better. I know you're out there - I have the stats to prove it! I want to take this little blog to the next level. I want to hear from you about what you like to read/see here & the other blogs you follow. The poll is anonymous, so click away!

I'm hoping this game plan allows me to become a bigger part of the blogging community, which has become one of my favorite groups of friends. So speak up! Say hello! Let's switch blog buttons! & if you feel like getting REALLY crazy, leave a comment. I'd love to hear from you.
