While I will still write (I have a million and one ideas for novels and short stories), my focus for a while will be solely on doing well in grad school and learning as much as I can to help others as a speech therapist. That is, besides trying to better myself and grow as a Catholic. I still plan on blogging and, basically, writing the way I have up to this point; journal-style entries. Still, I feel that maybe it's time to change the title of this blog and possibly Twitter handle. I don't know. I take a long time to think through my ideas/plans. Like I said, I'll still write but my career path has changed and that's okay.
As soon as I save up for it, this blog is going to get a whole new makeover as well. Things are a-changin' and I need to update a lot of things. Have patience with me on the blog posts as well since I'm officially on vacation from now until the first week of June and I won't even be in L.A. for part of it. I may just write posts and have them scheduled for when I can't actually write. Hmm, there's an idea.
Anyway, just wanted to give y'all a heads up on the ideas that are currently bouncing around in my head. I've been the "Catholic Nerd Writer" for 6 years now and it's been a blast but I'm changing. I started this blog when I was 22. Some of the earliest blog posts show just how young I was. I know it's not ladylike to say my age but my mother taught me not to ashamed so I'll just say that the 22 year-old that started this blog that Christmas night in 2007 is a lot different from the soon-to-be 28 year-old that I am now.
There you have it. What do you guys think? Should I stick to the blog title/name and Twitter handle or should I change it to something that will better reflect my new career path? I'm interested in hearing your ideas... and, okay, I'm incredibly indecisive so I am hoping your helpful comments will help sway me one way or another. ;)
That's it for now. I have to go back to tackling the (bigger than I imagined) Spring Clean-a-thon. Seriously, if any of you stopped by and just took a peek into the living room, you'd see the aftermath of Tornado Emmy-Sorts-Through-Everything-She-Owns... and-Leaves-a-Mess.
As always, thanks for reading and God bless! :D
I for one would miss seeing "Nerd Writer", but I'm not big on changes in general. I do, however, understand your desire to have a name that better reflects who you are. Regardless, I'm sure you will still have the same great content, so I'll support any decision... Eventually. Lol!
ReplyDeleteI would not change it, for the sake of continuity. If you change it, you will have to either start a new blog, or the URL and the blog name won't match, which is confusing for people who are trying to find your blog. Just my 0.02
ReplyDeleteWhat I did was leave the URL but change the title, which might be a bit confusing for people, but gives you the freedom to be true to where God is taking you now without invalidate other people's links. :)
ReplyDeleteBut I'm all for changing the blog as you move forward! Go where He sends you, m'dear! :)
I changed the title and URL of my blog a few years ago, and a few years before that. I'm hoping that my current incarnation is something I can stick with for a while, since it's based on my first name, which won't change! How about something based on your pseudonym?
