¿Cuánto crees que, de entre la cantidad de ideas que pasan por la mente de alguien deba acumularse para soñar con otra persona? Jaja. Llevo tres días soñando contigo. Todas las veces soñando cosas diferentes y bastante extrañas aunque nunca tan personales como lo que siento por ti. La madrugada pasada estaba contigo en un Taxco que no es el mismo, me perdí en calles que no existen. Todas empedradas, todas nocturnas pero ninguna la misma que la de fuera del sueño. Eventualmente estaba contigo y con gente que solo conozco de ese momento, buena gente. Al final resultó que hacían relleno orgánico a granel y nos daban hospedaje, en un departamento que queríamos rentar en el piso superior.

En algún punto alguien nos perseguía. Nunca pasamos de aventureros buscando rentar un lugar, pero estábamos ahí todo el tiempo, y no quería despegarme de ti.

“Tú y yo estamos para grandes cosas.” Siempre recuerdo tu carita diciéndome eso aquella mañana, amanecidos en una casa que no era la de ninguno de los dos. Me hiciste sentir. I really felt that.

“But I’m not just being blue
because I have form, and shape, and color too.
And I miss you and this Compton,
that is the focus
that is what all the school is reading to us.
I’m just a part of what I am.
It’s just a part of my beating heart,
beating for you “

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.
