Shey is a teenage girl who’s world is revolving unto two things: writing and loving. This is what living means for her.

She[y] loves. She open her heart into the things that make her kinder things that bring the most loving, generous, and unafraid version of her– and she go after those things as if nothing else matters. Because, actually, nothing does. When she love, she gave her all. She could appreciate even the things you don’t like about yourself–she doesn’t love just a little! She could write hundreds, thousands, and even many more for you if that’s what it means loving.

She[y] writes. She writes about all emotions human could ever feel. Her world is interwoven of words. She collect metaphors and treasure them. She have read many books. And one day, she dreamt to be not only just the one who’s reading books–but the one writing them.

Writing and loving is the two things that make her feel human. With these, she connect herself to the world. And she is hoping she could connect with you too.

Let’s us all live creatively!

All the love,

SHEY

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
