Where am I putting it? I mean really. Is it going towards the right things every day, so that I will one day end up where I want to be? I’ve been reading a lot of Redhead Writing blog posts lately, and the blogger there (Erika) shows me every day that she is putting energy towards making her business better, learning from her mistakes, getting her shit together, and helping other people get their shit together, while occasionally falling apart. All of it made me realize that I need to get my shit together.

I am beginning to feel aimless again, only this time in a more relaxed sense, seeing as how I have moved to a very lively area of the city, and I feel like I am right where I am supposed to be (geographically at least). And I’m not feeling 25-year-old aimless, it’s more like I’m just feeling the need to reassess. I know a few blog posts ago I talked about cleaning up the blog a bit, (I’m sorry if you experienced a poor email experience recently as a subscriber, I’m still sort of tweaking my new email service), but I’ve also been wondering where all of this effort is going. What’s my goal here? Am I trying to gain a wider audience? Make a little extra dough? I love my blog, and I love working on it, but I’m not sure where I’m headed.

I know for sure I want to get started on my Big Adult Move now, which is to create a social platform for writers and artists. That’s one of the reasons why I applied to business school. The details of that venture will be revealed once the website is revealed, but all in all, that is the ultimate direction I want to head in.

So ultimately, I need to get a firm handle on my shit. It flies everywhere all of the time, but it’s time to get a grip. I don’t know exactly where to start, but I know a few things I can do in the meantime to get there, and putting all of my time and energy into the blog isn’t one of them.

But don’t get me wrong, the posts will flow (they keep me sane and happy), and I’m still going to find ways to make it better, but I feel like instead of spending a bunch of cash on hiring a developer and a designer to make this beautiful, I need to be putting my energy towards the QUEST, because spending money on something you don’t know what to do with is a bit unwise, and right now this blog has “I don’t know what to do with you” written all over it.
