I treat my blog like a job😂

I treat my blog like a job now that I think about it. Because I…

1. Will dress up, like put in effort and get ready just to write (to feel better while writing)

2. Other times I will go somewhere to write, like a café

3. Will tell my friends I need to “lock in” to write

   1. Especially if I haven’t written for a while!

4. Listen to music while writing (I do the same with homework)

5. Keep a running list of ideas and check them off when I’m done

6. Am learning how to use the “scheduled” post feature

7. Will edit and read over, sometimes add

8. Will think of ideas all the time, while writing, while trying to sleep sometimes (seriously it’s annoying)

9. Like a job that extends into all hours, I write at all hours!

   1. And think of ideas at all hours

10. At all times, I have like 20 drafts even if I try not to keep it this way.

    1. And some of the ideas on my list are so far down, yikes, or have been there possibly getting close to like a year or years

11. I have a whole system for how I write, what I write about, like how I do it and everything.

    1. For a quick rundown: well the actual writing part, I just write. And I don’t really get writer’s block ever (even for the novels I have written). I don’t really plan. I just write as I think. The words just come, with the thoughts.

    2. What I write about: I have a list of ideas, but also, the original idea for my blog was for it to basically be about my life. I mean that is the title, still, to this point. Even I forget that. “Masha Tchesnokova’s Life.” In a way, anything I write about is my life, or about me, because it’s my thoughts, opinions, and I’m the one writing about it. But if you take the “it’s about me” very seriously, then not nearly all my posts are really “about me” or about my life. A lot of them are just philosophical thoughts. Which I thoroughly enjoy writing about. But additionally of course, from that idea, some of the ideas that just come to me and I write about in the moment, are often things happening to me in the moment or plans for the future. That I just write about. And naturally thought goes into them anyway, because it’s just reflecting, writing, and evaluation. Writing inevitably is reflecting and evaluation. Those blog posts are meant for people to catch up on my life, and I love it when people utilize it that way. It’s always a great moment when I get feedback from friends saying that’s how they caught up with me. That makes me so happy, that was exactly the original intention. My blog is slowly becoming a collection of all my thoughts, memories, important life moments, reflections, and I love it! It’s so special to me. Almost like a memoir. But there is still so much to write about…which brings me to the original point of this post: I treat it like a job! Lol.

    3. I have actually written some blog posts about exactly how I write and where the ideas come from and stuff, or there may be more ideas I have no written about yet, but trust, it’s coming
