In this first post on this website I am laying out my intentions for content creation and curation.
I am going to publish at least 5 pieces of content per week!
Each Item of content may be
- A blog post – like this post
- A video
- An audio recording
- A photo gallery
Why am I doing this
Practice basically, I am always writing content, and coming up with ideas for posts and other content creation, but rarely get round to progressing from the basic idea and publishing them.
I think is down to being hypersensitive to criticism, and a lack of self confidence about my writing skills, this has been festering since I was at school, struggling with dyslexia, being left handed and forced to write with contain pens, as the resulting mess of smudges across the page, as my hand scraped over the skill wet ink! This has resulted in that I avoided publishing stuff I have created until I think it is perfect! I think this could be described as form procrastination, so in effort to make positive changes to my life I am committing to forcing myself to create and publish content.
Another reason is that by publishing, the often tortuous creation process will get easier the more times it is done, they say that to become an expert in something you need 10,000 hours of practice, if that is true we are in for a long journey. So I apologise in advance if the posts are utter rubbish, rambling, or just plain crazy, well I just need to get them out of my head.
