I am in the process of turning this blank site into a place for creativity: more to come…
I have just recently decided to set up a website and tackle all the comes along with it: design, projects, blogs, etc….
From the beginning, I did not have any real vision beyond knowing that I wanted a site for my freelance writing/editing business.
There are many questions to operating a website, with more and more questions cropping up as I go. The prominent one that I am having a difficult time answering is How personal do I want this site to be? Without the answer, I have only posted a handful of past projects in my portfolio (I don’t like how the portfolio displays my articles, so I am not going to post more of my work until I can find a better way).
In the past, I have written business and fact based articles and edited business guides. When it comes to my own writing, I have a broad approach and attraction to topics. I could (and do) write about almost anything.
My experiences are all stories in waiting: from my two years of solo backpacking throughout SE and North Asia, or my journey from clothing designer to freelance writer.. er.. rather from a forest-fire fighter by day and moonlighting waitress to clothing designer to freelance writer is more accurate.. to settling my life in the Kootenays with my artist boyfriend and our journey together as a family. Oh, and the cutest shoes I found at Bia Bora in Nelson are so worth an article too.
So as time goes on, I slowly unzip my soul, one word at a time, go against the odds and mix business with pleasure while learning how to design this blank slate of a website into something that reflects my style a whole lot better than it is doing now.
