I really enjoy writing my blog and sometimes I am super, super inspired to post a new project or something cool I experienced, but there are times where (like now), it is 11:37pm on a weeknight and I have no clue what I’m going to write about for my daily blog post.
As you probably notice, I really try to come up with new content that’s somewhat interesting (at least I hope it is for your sake…ha ha). When I was thinking about what I was going to do tonight, I had an idea…why don’t I share with you the randomness that comes into my head when I develop a blog post (esp. a last minute one). I’m fascinated by how people formalize their ideas and how an idea gets from point a to point b…so, with that in mind, I want to share with you my thought process behind my a post…so here’s the inner dialogue straight from my brain.
You are now entering Alexa’s Brain
“Oh, no. I really need to think of something for my blog. What kind of project can I do in 30 minutes? Hmm…maybe I can do a post on a 30 minute craft and it become a regular feature. But what if I flake out and it doesn’t become a regular feature. Ugh, I can’t make a promise to do a regular feature and not pull through…I don’t think I’m going to do that.
Hmm…hey, I could do a contest and give away some fun stuff from my craft stash. Let’s see…I have this charm, a cool goblin bead, and let’s see, I have some paper clips. Ugh, I can’t give away paper clips. That’s dumb. OK, I do have this tin. I could fill it with beads, charms, and stickers.
But I kinda like it. I don’t want to give it away. Um, and I don’t know if I would ship it right away. I’m going on vacation and it would be several weeks till I would get around to mailing it out. Ugh, can’t do that idea.
Hey, what project do I have around that I could post. Let’s see…oh, there’s that Creative Techniques project I did…people prob. won’t remember it, but I don’t want to have to go and find the instructions in my e-mail. That would take longer than rewriting them from scratch. Can’t do that one. Oh, wait…I do have this John Mayer frame. It has a cool technique on it…
But I don’t really like John Mayer like I used to. He’s too Hollywood now and not as cool. I guess it looks cool and that they are my own photos that I burned on the frame, but I don’t want to have to write instructions and think of how to explain it.
OK, let’s see…hmm, there’s that vase of colorful buttons I could blog about…
Um, yeah, it’s a vase of buttons. That will make for a real exciting read!
Hey, what about if I show off the project that I created just for my blog? I’ve been waiting to feature it…
Ugh, but I’m not entirely finished with it and again, I’d have to write instructions. I don’t want to be up for an hour and a half finishing it and writing instructions too.
I’m at a total loss. I don’t know what the heck to blog about that people actually will want to read about…hey (looking down next to keyboard), I could do something cool with this measuring tape. It would make a super cool vase or bracelet or something.
I don’t have a surface to start with. Hmm, I need to go to plan Z.”
Wait, why don’t I do a blog about how I decide how I choose what to blog…yeah, I think I’ll do that. That won’t take too long and it will be easy to write. I’ll just snap a few pics and I’ll be done in no time. Yeah, I’ll think I’ll do that.

Hope that made sense and was somewhat easy to follow. I’ve never been one to be perfect about grammatical phrasing. I need to study up.
Hope you enjoyed this little venture inside my head and thinking up a crafty blog post. I promise, it’s not always this hard or this much of a stretch. Some days it just comes, other days it is a little harder, but it’s all worth it. I do enjoy it.
Until next time Swellions!

Interesting – and witty, too! I’m still new enough to blogging that I feel like I ask myself all of those questions and play through scenarios in my head every day. Sometimes things come so naturally – and sometimes I put so much pressure on myself to “create” a post that I end up stressed out and with no result! 🙂
Boy, could I relate to this. I’m a daily blogger too (times 2). Sometimes the well just runs dry because it has been over-fished. Hey, maybe I could blog about how I love to mix metaphors.
P.S. I do wish you would share how you did what you did with the John Mayer frame. Stunning!
“Alexa’s brain” seems a lot like mine except I haven’t started blogging yet. It’s called fear of blog. I commend you on your courage and wonderful imagination.
i think you jumped out of your brain into mine and back into your’s again! personally, i have a very boring blog. i suppose when i have made something of value, i will post it. or, i could do what you did! also, i would take the vase with the cool and colorful buttons in it. although the tin is really cool, too. oooo…maybe the measuring tape bracelet…nah…got several… old and new, made of different stuff and plenty of different colors. what else you got over there…hmmmm… you might get a kick out of something on my blog if you can wade through the crap…http://rush8888.blogspot.com/ too bad, or maybe you can, take it to the toilet with you.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren’t any need in big initial investment.
Nowadays, I’m happy and lucky , I started take up real money.
It’s all about how to select a proper partner who utilizes your money in a right way – that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.
You can get interested, if there are such firms? I’m obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
