time for a new look!

Hi guys! It's me, Brenna the Bad Blogger. If you haven't noticed, I've just began a new construction process and so I guess I'm not really a bad blogger anymore. I'm a girl without shame :)

The story behind my new title is really simple.

I've been teaching myself how to be myself around everyone, and not change to look better for certain people. Especially now that I am entering high school, I think it is an important thing to learn. 

Hopefully you are ok with the change, and won't forget that I'm still the same Brenna that was here 20 minutes ago when I changed the URL 

Also, if anyone has skills in the graphic design department and would like to design my blog for me (since I don't know anything about that stuff), then I would LOOOVE to pay you in multitudes of shout outs and buttons in my side bar. I'm specifically looking for a header and a new button. And anything else if you are up to it hahaha! 

Thank you to my followers for reading what I write, and I try to improve everyday, just for you!

Live without shame today 

-Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Tim Gunn Moment

Have you ever wanted to do something artistic really really badly?

But it turns out you have no talent?

That's where I'd have to raise my hand. 

Last night it started snowing like crazy and it was gorgeous! Then this morning I went outside and there was a plump little robin sitting on a bare branch. And automatically I wanted to paint it.  I wished I could put it's charcoal wings and little white freckles on a canvas and MAKE IT WORK DESIGNERS (sorry I had to...Tim Gunn moment)

It's like that meme with the moon and the camera...only I'm the camera because I can't interpret the image I see into the paper in front of me. 

Which is why I want to have a contest for everybody else who does have skills! But I need help devising a plan. So if you wouldn't mind hopping your little artistic cutie self over to the contest page, it would help me sooooo much if you gave me some ideas! 

Like for instance, what kind of art do you people like best?

QOTD: What's your favorite medium? Or best medium, I should say.

AOTD: Pen to paper :)

Comment feedback pleeease!

Not Just January's To Do List

Happy Holidays everyone! 

I realize the season is pretty much over so I'm really late. But I kind of took December off, because I was  busy finishing up school and getting ready for Christmas. And I was really out of topics. 

Alas, since it is the second to last day of the year, this calls for a special post. 

Maybe some resolutions? Ok, here we go.

In the years past, I have started about 70 million journals and filled 0 of them. Zero. In 2015 I want to be the kind of person who gets things done. If I want to write in my book every day then I will write in it every day.

Especially with this new adventure of ending eighth grade and moving onto a new high school, where I won't know anyone. Again. I need something to help my old self remember that weird rule and that blue line. Ok not really but I want to organize my thoughts! And write poetry or something.

Which brings me to my next resolution. Blogging! I've started yet another one with some of my friends from home, which you can see here. That means my game has to be way up high and I need to be on top of it. 

I need to maintain both blogs. I kind of want new people to read what I write....I mean who doesn't? But I have to work hard! If I want to get things done, then I will! Yeah! Wow, I'm really good at pep rallying myself. Anyways, in 2015, I'm going to be more adventurous and try new things. If people don't like who I am, their loss. Right? I don't know. It's still 2014. I still have time to think this through.

How am I going to accomplish my goals, you may ask. Well let's see. Start with writing. Maybe make notes of things I need to finish through out the week. Like a check list sort of thing. And blog as often as I can. I'm thinking a minimum of 3 posts a month? We'll see. And to get more feedback, I want to start doing Question of the Day. So after each post I'd put QotD: and then my question, then write my answer. In the comments you can reply! You like?

Also, I've been thinking about putting up some of my work. Like poems, stories, reviews, DIYs and such. What do you think? Good ideas? That's what comments are for!
Thanks for reading and Happy New Year!

QotD:  What were your highlights and lowlights of 2014?

AotD: Moving away from all my old friends, but then making a few new ones, but still being very close to the old but dear ones.

LIFE OF A BAD BLOGGER

WARNING!!!RANT AHEAD!!!

Alright, so it's 10:15 PM at this moment and I really want to be a good blogger. I know I kind of can't be because that's what this is about, but I can try right?

I'm hoping that naming my struggles by titling something that can potentially be seen by pretty much anyone, anywhere in the world, maybe I will get some help.
     
Ok, I have gotten a little help, by a few people. I made a button, blogged for almost nineteen days straight.
But I'm thinking that's not enough. After I publish every post, I go on a hunt for blogs like mine that might be interested in helping me out. I've been counting them too! About.....hmm I'd say zero. Now this is mostly my fault, but a little bit was the Internet. Before I started this whole hootenanny I did some research. Because this, my friends, would finally be the one. The famous one. People other than my best friend and Grandma would read. And all the big bloggers told me this,

Brenna, you have to be original. Nobody wants to read what they have already read. 

        And well, I suck at that. I guess this is kind of original, because nobody else blogs about how to Keep Calm and Lead On  but...please excuse me for a moment of self-realization.

Every body does this. Every single person does this, but in their own heads. I'm sorry for boring you all. All the time with this whole thing. I need a lot a lot of help. Maybe a co-owner, who only blogs on Thursdays? Or a prompt writer? Does anybody want a job? I'll make a team? Sorry, the title and URL are already set, but I could really use a Layout and Design person.
Ok, sorry, not recruiting, I just really like this hobby, and I feel like I was into it!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For nineteen days! But then I lost it and it won't come back. Has anyone been in this place before? I really want to get back into this and I don't know how. What can I do to write original topics?

Funny story, I actually found a prompt writer, it was an online generator. You put in key words, of like what your blog is about, themes, ideas, whatever. And it takes your words, and puts them in a list  of titles like this---

• 14 Things to Know about _________
• How To: _______
• A Study on __________

Yeah, it's pretty great. Anyway, I really do need some help. Thanks. If you read through this whole thing, or cheated to see how it would end, I've cooled off now.
Also, I get it. It's a hard knock life, and we I better make this floor shine like the top o' the Chrysler building before my backside does. Got any superb cleaning ideas?
