It seems that I have 23 draft posts in the queue and 15 ideas notes as yet to turn into posts. Most of the time, I prefer a chat so that the ideas stay dynamic and I learn from others what words resonate and how an idea might evolve. Written words feel clunky and sticky- a bit heavy. Perhaps, this is a chance to delve into the light, ephemeral way of words for the interwebs.
In addition, it has come to my attention that I could be better at documenting projects and sharing learnings from adventures. As an action oriented experience designer that doesn't necessarily come as easily as snapping a picture at the end of the day to say, "hey, look at what I made." These project accounts run high risk for getting boggy in details... what one thinks about to create an experience is often quite different from the experience created. Design challenge for effective blog presentation.
After a few failed blogs, I learned that blog writing is different. Writing for the web is its own genre. I'm a novice.
For now, I will pick up where I left off in March and practice the art of blog posts. That means, it may not be pretty, but hopefully, as with most things that one practices, time will reflect improvement.
Ready. Set. Here we GO!

- Simple.
- Tight sentences.
- One thought per post.
- Preferably laced with a visual hook or bullet points.
- Personal insights, observations, ideas more than dissertations and research.
