I found this Photoshop contest to create a useless electronic addition to the Olympics.

I could not resist.

Here is my entry.  For contest details click here.

I have been blogging consistantly now for nearly 3 months.

Even consistantly that means less than 7 posts per week or one a day.

I have been noticing at minimum I have been taking 2 hours to write a very short post and 4-6 hours to writer longer ones.

Its very misleading.

Lots of judgement and rewrites get in the way.  FYI, I am not a perfectionist either.

Blog at your own risk, it’s addictive and requires long hours.

I am having a baby in 2 months, what am I thinking?

Coachbriany is my personal site but I use the same Wordpress Template as my Expert in the Rough blog.

I do that on purpose.

One it’s easier to learn just one template and modify it.

Second I can test new features before I launch it on my feature blog.

I have my new rollover navigation installed over at Expert in the Rough.

Check out the categories and such on the top bar. (Not here but there)

Wouldn’t be nice if people could follow your thought’s as easily as you can Twitter.

I mean like  a direct feed to the brain.  Having a Twitter account might be a symptom of “Narcissism”

Do you follow?

Get creative!

Don’t name the streets in your McMansion villages all the same name.

Cherry Creek Lane of of Cherry Creek Trail off of Cherry Creek Court just past the stop sign at Cherry Creek Boulevard.

I guess if all the house look alike why have different street names.

I done with this rant.  I am going to do something original today, I am heading to Starbucks.

Isn’t she lovely?

I have been blogging consistantly for 3 months on my Expert in the Rough blog.

Purposely, I have not shared it with much of my network.  My goal was to have 30 posts before I advertise.  I know in the past when I launch products or ideas, if they are not fully developed I get a quick spike of interest and people move on.

Recently I have had the opportunity to join a private online forum and I have been recieving feedback on my writing.  I did not know I was starving for some feedback.  It’s hard to write conversationally for 3 months with nobody on the recieving end.  The cool thing is it has made me a better writer, and I feel more committed since I have had to stay focused, without the feedback.

Take a peak.  www.expertintherough.com I don’t bite.

FYI, Coachbriany.com, where you are now is my personal blog.  I will be writing more random thoughts and sharing more personal details on this blog.  Expert in the Rough is my featured blog.

It’s been about a week now.  I think I have a vacation hangover.  I don’t want to work and all I want to do is blog.

Do you ever feel like you need a vacation after your vacation?
