The hardest thing is to start

All writers and creative people have their little tricks to get started. This blog has been bouncing around in my head for the last few months, begging to be let out. Usually this happens around 3 a.m. when I get up to let my 14-year old, counter-surfing Airedale Kramer out. He is nocturnal these days. When I go back to bed, I often can’t sleep. It’s usually in this semi-sleep that my best ideas come (or so they seem in the middle of the night).

Clients and associates ask me if it’s hard to come up with ideas to write about, as I have been publishing my Ready, Aim, Inspire! blog for about a year. Actually, it’s not the ideas that are the problem…it’s that I have too many of them. That blog is targetted specifically for nonprofit organizations, to share tips and resources.

This blog is intended to share experiences related to communications, and especially for those of us who have left the corporate world behind to fly solo. There are many blogs and websites out there catering to independent professionals and freelance writers or copywriters, but none I have found seemed to fit me: a corporate communications strategist operating as a solo-preneur, and not looking to become part of an agency. So, fellow corporate communications fugitives, or wanna-be’s, this site is for you.
