It never hurts to meet with other like-minded folks. I call it head bashing. You’re bashing your brains together – right?!
I’m learning so much by taking an on-line blogging course with Raincoaster Media http://raincoastermedia.com/ . Tuesday’s is our night. I was tempted to bail as I needed a workout, instead I cooked dinner while we Skyped our conference call.
Even though it is well after my bedtime now I’m hooked - more importantly inspired!
If you’re a writer and you’ve been taking the helm solo, here’s my top five reasons why head bashing is really good for you:
1. You’ll find more reasons to think and write outside the box… creativity increased!
2. You’ll find more tangents to go out on and more crossroads to cross!
3. You’ll get feedback and add-ons!
4. You’ll find more confidence to carry on and on and on!
5. You’ll like what you’re doing even more as you’ve got others to support you along the way.
We’re half way through our ten-week course. I’m learning to think every bit multi-media. Even though I’m behind on my homework, I’m facing my future of blogging with excitement. I know more, I am more! Thanks Raincoaster!

Blogs I Do
Since I haven’t figured out how to show you without you viewing my complete profile, let me tell you. There are some bloggers that I follow and who knows maybe you would like to as well.
I’ll start off with http://www.darrenbarefoot.com Back in the spring of 2009 when the words Twitter, Digg, Delicious and Facebook were still taking a backseat in my mind, I heard about this Social Media course. Social Media huh. Ok. I like am a communicator type, I need to know this stuff. Darren and his partner taught it and while I know much of my brain power lives in the clouds in far off dreams, etc., I have to say these two folks are really in the know. So to follow - is to know!
Now Darren pointed fingers at a fave site of his. She's famous to me now. http://www.miss604.com It blows my mind how technically advanced this woman is and how up-to-date and current she is. She’s got the pulse, and she’s based in Vancouver.
It’s MISS604 that led me to http://www.thesheebeenclub.com I attended a Word Camp in Victoria (#yyj) and the panel discussion at noon included MISS604 and another fine woman with a handle known as Raincoaster. While I blasted out questions about the curve of the future in Social Media and hey about that making money thing… http://raincoastermedia.com/ blurted out a bit about an on-line course she was doing for bloggers. So I signed up. Turns out she’s The Sheebeenclub helms person as well. I’m really starting to feel like totally in the know now!
As I’m training super hard for the http://www.bcbikerace.com I have a few spinners that inspire me. One of them is http://toriklassen.com who teaches Tuesday morning’s spin class at the Downtown YMCA. Tori plays great tunes and when I was moving Social Media into the front seat she was already there and tweeting about it. She’s also a marathon runner and rich in thought and great for inspiration.
Finally, I think this site says it all. I have to be up at 4:15 a.m. for my three hour roady. Good to follow http://trainharder.com for timely reminders!
Nighty night.
