When Big Ideas Strike, You're Usually in the Shower - A Novel Quest

When Big Ideas Strike, You’re Usually in the Shower

A new idea has struck, this time while she was washing her hair.

Monique wants to preface this ‘new idea’ post by saying that this morning started out in failure. Every time she sets her alarm for 615am to run and doesn’t do it, she feels a little like a failure. But her throat was a little sore when she woke up, so she snoozed till about 8am.

Moving on. She was feeling slightly bad about phoning in her morning work out, or at least putting it off until the evening, when she got to thinking about her vlogs. Monique truly enjoys vlogging, but honestly, how many times can you talk about what’s new in your life before people start to lose interest? The point with the video blogs at first was to have a fun, goofy side project to nurture some creative yearning she had to video edit, but now that she has a few of them under belt, Monique wondered how exactly she could use her vlogs to provide VALUE to her audience.

What would make more people want to watch them?

Value. Sure, a little comedy would get a few people to watch once in awhile, but they would eventually get bored. Besides, she REALLY enjoys adding value to people’s lives, whether it be through a unique new software she hasn’t invented yet, or a cool new social site that inspires creativity (which she also hasn’t invented yet).

So what was the big idea? If she told you, she’d have to grill you. Like an onion. Then mash you between melted cheese, beef, and lettuce, and swallow you in one bite. She’s not at all reminiscing about her last In’n’Out encounter with a double double, she’s just protecting her little idea until she can actually publish it. Plus, she’s never kept you in suspense for anything, so come on.

The big idea will be unveiled in the next vlog, which will be sometime in between now and the next vlog. Don’t get your hopes up too much, it’s nothing incredibly major, but it will be the start of a new vlogging era for Monique, one in which each vlog will not only be quirky, but add a little something for her audience to walk away with. It will hopefully, after a few, give you something to look forward to in forthcoming vlogs, and will even be something you can share with people you know, who can relate.

For now though, the new vlogging era is in the…what do they call it? Beta stage. Monique is hoping to film it Thursday evening, and have it posted 3 to 5 business days after that.

So stay tuned, keep your eyes peeled, make sure your shirts are tucked in and your pants pulled up. Monique’s been doin’ some imagineering in the shower, and you KNOW nothing good can come of that. Except for maybe this.
