Do you remember your first blog post? Here at somegosoftly I have archives and can find it real quick. It’s awkward. What about your first myspace update? First tweet? First Facebook update? Most of you might have said something less than memorable. Maybe, “I’m here!” Or, “What is this all about?” And now we’re getting […]
I loved this copyblogger article that reminds you how much you need to pay attention to detail and make a dramatic statement to make someone care about you. How about instead of blogging every day – which used to be a litmus test for success – if you can’t do that, you just do something […]
The beginning of somegosoftly was all about how everyone had a blog. So I wanted one. I wasn’t the first on myspace, blogger, facebook, or twitter, but I wasn’t the last. I was super curious about social media and what it would do, where it would go. I dropped blogger immediately, thinking it was rather […]
Here’s the article that you must read, today. Write Epic Sh*t. Three little words. It makes it sound so easy right? You came to the internet, bought a domain, got a little space, and it was the same as a blank piece of paper and a pen in front of you. With 1,000 people/day looking […]
The link there is the original article. I took the whole thing cut and paste style since it’s one of the best things I’ve read in a forever or two. Wish I had come up with it It basically makes me sigh. I hate when someone calls out all the things I totally do and […]
We all, from time to time, make mistakes. I have a sweet Momm and Dadd that will read my writing and let me know if I make a mistake. And husband. And brother. And Snippy. And anyone else I might ask for feedback. Here, Facebook, Twitter, Ski Utah. Doesn’t matter. It’s important to me that […]
Sitting around here is a bunch of my thoughts and life stories I’d chosen to share with my family and friends. If you google “pumpkin” you might find my Halloween post and glance at it, but I never worried whether or not you’d come back. This new ‘job’ of mine will only be a success […]
MK showed up the afternoon of the 28th with a dozen red roses. Butthead. I went to WalMart and got him the only other card they had besides the one I got him last year, and some Orbit gum. He’d rather have money in the bank than cheesy gifts that end up in the storage room. […]
The more I think about what I want to do with myself I think about what I’ve done. I’ve been blogging badly for four years now. It didn’t make me famous. I’ve been running around on the internet looking for ways to think of a next big something. I’ve written books I’m too chicken to show […]
Even though I’ve found this website a great place to chronicle adventures, I don’t post ‘here’s what I did today’ everyday. I just try to stay in the habit of writing little blurbs to make my brain work. I wanted to post stories and poetry but have totally chickened out for three years straight. Then I […]
