A successful blog takes more than just writing down ideas and hoping someone reads it. Successful blogging takes consistency and requires material that people are going to want to read. It also includes a bit of repetition. People expect certain topics when they visit certain blogs. Every once in a while, all bloggers stray off topic, but for the most part, Chris Brogan is always going to be talking marketing and Perez Hilton is always going to be talking celebrity gossip.
Wright Creativity is a blog about creativity. This is a much broader topic, and many people have criticized me for not ’sticking to one or two basic subjects’. But I think creativity IS one subject…just with a lot of uses. Some days I talk about creativity and business, others are creativity and real life, and some are just random. But, a bit of randomness is to be expected when talking about creativity, right? While I do love having my freedom, I have begun to see some of the ‘other side’ and have decided to bring a little more balance and consistency to the blog. I am not going to narrow my topics on creativity, but I am going to create a new reoccurring type of blog post. The idea originally came to me from reading Angry Julie’s “Wordless Wednesday“. Each Wednesday, she posts a single picture, and lets it speak for itself. I loved the idea of the same type of post one day each week – and one that lets the reader react/comment/create their own ideas from an image…but because I love words so much, I decided to let them reign. Originally, I thought of picking one word, but of course then I had to come up with a creative name, and no days of the week rhyme with one… so I doubled the words and Two-word Tuesday was created!
Best part? It’s all about the readers! I am giving you a bit of creativity, an idea, and you can turn it into what ever you want; use them as the start of your comment, writing a tweet with the words in it, link to a post they make you think of, or use the words to start your own post and then link back! It’s all about the community – creating an online brainstorming group. Who knows which words will stem your next great idea?
From this day on, all you will see on Tuesday’s is 2 words. Do with them what you will – and don’t forget to share!
Now onto today’s two words:
Beginning now
(perfectly apropos, right?)
