The Struggling Blogger

I am contemplating again.

Yes, I am getting the itch again to start another blog. Not just one blog, by the way, but two blogs. I’ve been trying to brush it off, but the more I try to fight it, the itch becomes even more persistent.

One blog has been in the planning stage since October of last year. I’ve been delaying it, because I am not sure if I can keep up with one more blog.

The other one just popped up in my mind after the holidays, and it seems to be the one who has the stronger urge. In fact, I have already bought a domain name for it. Sadly though, the .com version of it was already taken, so I have to settle with the .net version of the domain name.

The way it looks, it seems like the second one is already a “go” with it already having domain name. It’s just a matter of “when,” or until I can really convince myself that I can maintain the said blog.

The first one actually is a photo blog, therefore doesn’t really need much text, so maybe I can keep it… or can I?

Anyway, they are still in the pipeline. Hopefully, by next week it’s either they’re already up or will not see daylight at all.

Taking the cue from PinoyAmbisyoso, I am also posting herewith my goals and plans for 2009. And this time, I would like to follow the rules when it comes to setting goals - REALISTIC and SPECIFIC and with that comes a TIME FRAME.

I will post here two sets of goals, first for the month of January 2009 and the second group, for the whole 2009. I may not necessarily post another set for February next month, although I may post updates from time to time.

So here are my goals and plans for January 2009

1) Compose one song - surprised this is the first one on the list? The last time I wrote a song was in 2007. Although none of my songs have ever been recorded commercially

2) Write 3 poems - I am after all a self-proclaimed poet

3) Finish one Papier Tole project - another passion of mine

4) Create, upload and develop the dot com version of The Struggling Blogger - need I say more?

5) Go back to making and selling Chocolate Lollipops and Personalized Chocolate Bars - I need to make a living somehow
