Day One
Technically, today is day two of this new adventure and yesterday was day one. Probably need to qualify that one which isn’t easy as I’m trying really hard not to ‘go off on one’ as that might scare you off (it can get a tad bizarre at times). There’s so much going on but I will try my best to keep it simple.
I’ve been writing a ‘blog post’ every day for the last goodness knows how long, put it this way, as of today, I’ve written 510 individual posts. If you fancy taking a look then just click on ‘Twack’s Other Blog’. Be warned, it’s a real mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly.
I’m not sure how many were on the bounce, it doesn’t matter, the laboured point is that yesterday was the first day I didn’t write and it felt weird.
I missed my ‘fix’ man, so this morning, while I was in the middle of something else, I had the urge to write and here we are. Next time I will be better prepared, rather than flying by the seat of my pants which isn’t always the best way to write. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes when you’re in ‘the zone’ its possible to produce some of your best work and other times not so much.
To get continuity you might want to read the opener ‘Welcome To Day One Of Twack’s Blog’ its not mandatory but it might help with the context of this post. Ideally all of the posts will stand alone but I wrote the first three or four posts pretty much at the same time and they were designed to ‘lay the foundation’ as it were. Once they’re out of the way I shall just be writing as and when with very little structure, as is my predilection. Right, let’s get on with it.
Project 137
We shall begin with ‘Project 137’. It was originally called ‘Project 136’ and then I realised that ‘six figures’ didn’t equate to ‘one million’, not sure why that particular penny took so long to drop, maybe it was because I was thinking about the zeros, possibly, who knows ?
What is it Project 137 ? It’s a journey from here until then. You can read the full account in one of my most recent posts over at Wealthy Affiliate. “Do You Want To Know Why ? (Twack’s Statement Of Intent)” Just click on the link and it will open the whole thing up in a new tab and don’t worry, you don’t have to sign up to read any of my posts there.
For now, you get the skinny version. ‘Project 137’ is the story of my quest for the elusive seven figures. “Pie in the sky”, I hear you cry, “I think not” is my riposte. Whatever, you get the exclusive through this blog and through the podcast (when I grow a pair and actually start recording)
Creating a podcast is not easy, even though some might say it is, I really don’t like the sound of my voice, to me it sounds like a poor impersonation of Julian Clary if you know who that is. Still, needs must and all that.
I might cheat and use these posts as a script as when I have tried to ‘ad-lib’ things went pear-shaped rapidly. As with anything it will take practice.
To show that I am taking things seriously, I have enlisted the help of Buzzsprout which is primarily a hosting platform for podcasts but also provides guidance and some resources. If that is something that floats your boat you can check them out HERE.
Where Were We ?
Where were we ? Yesterday, that’s right, yesterday. It was a bit of an odd day. As previously stated it was the first day that I hadn’t written anything for months and as much as it felt good, it also felt wrong and it kind of put me ‘out of sorts’.
I was still busy but I was on ‘autopilot’. When I’m in that place its time to make a plan, or a list, something constructive that I can work to, it helps to order my thoughts. Although saying that, some of my most enjoyable writing experiences have come from just a single idea that just took on a life of its own. That actually happens quite often and usually when I have been struggling to come up with a topic to write about.
Today has had more structure to it, which is why I am here now, writing this.
Where Are We ?
So many questions, so few answers. Where am I ? I’m at the beginning of a long journey (conservatively eight and a half years to go). One that will ultimately take me to where I want to be. Where’s that ? See, another question. Financial security first, then to be able to do some good in the world.
Obviously, if I can do some good along the way then that will be a huge bonus and its definitely something I shall endeavour to do. Don’t worry, I will keep you updated.
For now, that’s all I have for you, a shorter post but one that hopefully fills in a few blanks. Bear with me, once I have worked through these introductory posts I have a feeling things will get interesting.
Till the next time my friends, be well and stay safe.
Twack Romero
