Happy Wednesday! Long time no see…sorry, it’s been crazy at work this past week and a half! Instead of a “regular” post today, I thought it would be fun to share a little bit on the “Behind the Scenes” of blogging. (But then again, isn’t every blog post, a regular blog post….moving on). Or at least how I run my blog. So here’s the rundown: Each week I try to lay out a schedule of which posts I want to publish. Then, I set time aside to first edit the photos for the post.

I don’t know why, but I HAVE to have the photos edited and ready to go before I can even start drafting the post itself. Next, I jot down the main points I want discuss within the post. Then I write the post, edit it and revise any errors. The last thing I do before publishing is come up with the title for the post. Boom… simple as that, right?

Today, May 10th, is Simply Sinova’s SIXTH anniversary! Crazy right? To think I started this blog randomly during the spring semester of my junior year in college. I was studying (and later received my degree in) print journalism and really didn’t know what I wanted to do in life. Sure, I knew I wanted to be a writer/ have my job focus on writing to some capacity but I didn’t know much beyond that. 

Since I was six years old I’ve known that I wanted to be a writer. When I was younger I wanted to be a film critic but the older I got, the more I realized I wanted to be a screenwriter. Throughout the years I’ve wanted to write for a newspaper, have my own weekly column in a magazine, publish children’s book, ect. If it had to do with writing, it was on my radar.

It was in college where I discovered my love for social media marketing and freelance writing/blogging. I had several social media marketing internships throughout college and I loved them so much! In fact, my first job post college was as a Social Media Manager for a jewelry company based in Chicago. This little blog has taken me so far and opened the door for so many opportunities and incredible experiences.

Now just six years later, I am working full-time in my desired field (Social Media Marketing and Communications), working part-time as a freelance writer and still blogging! My six year old self couldn’t be any happier!

(Follow your dreams peps, they might just come true!).
