A white page. A blinking cursor. A blank stare.
Where to start?
I know I want it to be incredible. I know I want to give you value. I know I want to post content regularly. And yet, as with most beginnings, I don’t know how to start this blog for the new year.
So I jump.
I type about this struggle in the most transparent of ways, because we are all human beings. We all – at one time or another, with one project or several, and for whatever reasons we may have – we all have had a hard time starting. With this blog post as an example, I challenge you to start with the concept of “progress not perfection” in mind.
This is the start.

Hello! I realize this is kind of off-topic however I needed to ask. Does operating a well-established website like yours require a massive amount work? I am completely new to blogging but I do write in my diary every day. I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
Hi. I'm glad you asked. Depending on what you envision, your website may take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks to set up. Once it's up though, and since you write every day, I'd imagine it would be easy for you to share your experience and feelings online through your blog. Once your blog is set up, it's as simple as signing in, writing and clicking "Publish" or "Post".
You can get a free blog set up many places - two of which I recommend are wordpress.com and blogspot.com.
I encourage you to take the leap and start your blog. If you're on the fence, just go for it! Oh, and let me know when you start posting!
All the best,
Angela
