Many of us would be feeling under mounting pressure to lift our social selling game. And that can take us waaay beyond our personal comfort zone.

A Social Sensei like Andrea Edwards – The Digital Conversationalist, would encourage us to ‘Bloody (Andrea is an Aussie – so accept the cursing) well get started – today.!! You need to get started NOW!!’
Andrea knows her caca.  Really.

However, getting started and maintaining creative cadence can be difficult for many of us. I don’t know about you, but I find it challenging.  Though I feel have a creative mind, am funny and have experienced a great deal, I struggle to get over that ‘Will anyone actually find what I have to say, interesting?’ mental roadblock.
In addition, I often wonder if I use the goodiest words and stuff? 😉

That slave-master Andrea, won’t let me succumb to my self-doubt.  Andrea insists on pushing me to overcome any self-confidence ‘crap’.  Curse you, Andrea, in the nicest possible way.

Somehow, we are all challenged in our own way, to create content to share which passes to the reader, our genuine passion in a manner which is both intriguing, delivers some value to our readers and is entertaining. Your own content contributions may take the form of a blog and/or commentary on the work of others.  Either is fine as long as you have something constructive to offer.  Trolling doesn’t count.

Regardless, in a world of incredible online personal exposure, we are forced to consider how that we publish may be perceived by others – your boss, peers, potential employers, Mum, Dad and your friends.

And many people are thinking the same as you and I. How do we position our best appendage in a forward facing position and send the goodiest message to the World?

Understanding the challenges of creative writing, I take a little time every week to invest in my personal development. I seek out and mine the experience and expertise of others.  I Google, browse, read/watch and take on knowledge.

Over time, I have discovered this helps me headbutt my demons.  I have become more confident and goodier at this social communicalisation thingy.  Yaay!  I made up a word!

I remain, without question, always interested to hear what the audience thinks about my work.  More importantly, I am always genuinely interested to hear what other folks know about any given subject.

So, when I uncover articles such as this by Dhvanesh Adhiya, I feel I inspired to share/like/tell my friends.

I encourage you to check it out and, please, please, please, share YOUR sources of no-BS advice and inspiration.

Thanks very much for reading this and obviously, for all the fish.

Wait, I neglected to include an eye-catching image on my blog. This one is of Prague.
Plus some hashtags.  Urrgh! Amateur mistake.
