I was intrigued by Tiffany B. Brown's interview. I connected with her because of her writing background. I have always wanted to start a blog of my own and never knew where to begin. I glossed over the idea because I thought you needed to be a professional writer at minimum to begin blogging. Brown had experience in journalism but admits her experience was limited to just that and college writing. And she jumped right in. So that was encouraging to hear.
What is impressive is that Brown started off simple. She wanted to promote herself professionally. Many times we have a desire and dismiss it without even trying. Brown tried and she was successful. It is encouraging for me since I do not have any experience in writing other than for academic purposes. I have a passion for leadership and want to inspire people to reach their potential. Brown's interview motivates me to take a risk and start blogging. Enrolling in New Media class is my first step.
How Brown chooses her links is insightful. She usually chooses links that "catch her eye" or "makes her think". This helps me to know what to incorporate in my blog posts. Many times I come across articles or links that I want to share with others and offer my opinion. I tend to share theses posts on my Facebook feed. However, I mostly utilize Facebook for connecting with friends and family by sharing pictures or quotes or recipes. So Facebook is not a good choice for short blog posts.
I was surprised to learn that she follows about 70 weblogs. I do not follow any right now but I realized that I have read more blogs than I was aware of. My plan is to explore some of her links that she shared in her interview.
