A photo on Day Zero Project on the goal: Start my own magazine

PROGRESS UPDATE

A goal of Blossom on their Someday list with a status of In Progress.

I had marked this as failed, but here is something I wrote today in my writing journal:

Also speaking of happiness and joy, I really like putting together those posts that I have been doing on prayer, which are also based on my Dayzero goal to collect 25 articles on the power of prayer so I will be able to make 25 (or more) accompanying quote graphics for Twitter. Those hardly get any views but I really like doing them regardless.

Reminds me of those little articles I wanted to write. I just looked it up. They're called "FOB" or front of the book pieces. I remember I wanted to write them, but never organized myself to be able to do them and then submit to magazines. This also fulfills my "Start my own magazine" goal on DayZero goal, which I had marked as failed. I don't want to start a magazine. I want to write FOB pieces. Let's be clear on that and I can do this independently, for myself and for fun. On twitter.

My MT Twitter feed is like a magazine with images and those FOB short informational

Related Notes:

Here's the thing, I am inspired by Life's Vintage Magazine which is put out by Life Senior Services in Tulsa Oklahoma. I love the look of it, how it has local stuff and I imagined myself sitting in a little office in Brooklyn putting together or working on such a magazine. That never happened. I did work on a magazine in Manhattan for a few months. But that was not sustainable.

Anyway, while I love Life's Vintage Magazine, I get overwhelmed thinking about what it takes to put it together. I'm volunteering with two small organizations where I could volunteer to put together a magazine, but I'm afraid of not being able to sustain it. I'm not sure if I want it enough to actually do it. If I would LOVE each issue and the process of putting it together, then perhaps it would be worth it. Also I've come to a point in life I would love to bond--PROFESSIONALLY--with more people. I look forward to professional bonding. You know me with the social anxiety which is still alive and well. A magazine for the small church I volunteer with might be an awesome project to work on and a way to get to know people.

Anyway, one of the reasons I wanted to make this post is that I was thinking of making a space right here on DayZero as a self help blog.

Then again, I already have 980 pages of self help written over a ten year period. Do I *really* need to write more. (less) (less)
