Yes, I Did it: I Started a Blog!

I decided that since I am forever pestering our Patch readers to post on Patch and start a blog, I would start one to show you how easy it is! 

Some Patch bloggers choose to limit their blog to one topic, but I have decided to take this blogging opportunity to flex my writing skills. You see, outside of my editor responsibilities with Patch, I am a writer and have been for quite some time.

I have written everything from corporate marketing materials to book reviews to magazine articles to travel profiles to books and a lot of stuff in between. I always seem to have a writing project in the works, but between kids, work and all those other distractions, I rarely find the time to write anymore!

So, I decided that a blog would give me the opportunity to write where I could voice my opinions, share my thoughts on any topic without having to be "news-y" and get the writing juices flowing. Plus, I might help inspire someone else along the way to get started on their own blog.

I might even offer blogging tips like this one on how linking to websites outside of your blog increases its visibility to search engines. Why that's important I'm sure I explained somewhere...

Thank you for coming along on my blogging journey and feel free to comment or ask questions at any time!
