Hi!
Good to see you here. It’s weird for me to write all of this down. I’m not sure if anyone is even remotely interested in reading my personal stories, but for me it’s a good outlet. And hopefully I’ll at least put a smile on your face or make you think about your own personal life. For me, this blog is a way to express myself and a way for me to practice my writing on a daily basis. Writing a lot is important, because it basically forces you to develop your own style.
I’ve been writing down things ever since I can remember. It’s strange, because even though I love to write, give my opinion on things through writing and tell people stories, I’m not much of a talker. Writing is easier. Maybe it’s taking the easiest way out, but it works for me.
I’ve been thinking all day about what I was going to write down in this post, and now that I’m writing it, it’s all gone. Maybe that’s a good thing though, I don’t want to force myself to write about a subject even though it’s not even really interesting to me.
I decided to talk about the things that I love. There are more than a few things that I love, but for now I want to focus on two things. The first thing I want to talk about is the ‘work’ that I think is exactly what I want to do in my life.
The job
What is this ‘work’ I’m talking about? Writing. I put ‘work’ between quotes, because I’ve always enjoyed writing and I can’t see myself getting sick of it. So for me, it doesn’t really feel like work. I’m currently working hard to start my own text writing business from the ground up. I’m using my current job as a way to provide for myself, my girlfriend and my dog, but it just not what I want to do for the rest of my life. Sure, working as an employee has its advantages, but there are a lot of things I don’t like about it.
I named my ‘company’ (God, that sounds weird) Archer Text. I want to provide people with regular text, such as guest blogs, stories, scripts, essays, poems and much more. I really enjoy writing those kind of things because they’re personal and it allows me to help people express themselves the way they want to, even if they don’t know exactly how to do it themselves.
Besides that I want to provide a copy writing service. For those who don’t know, copy writing is basically writing with business in mind. Think about advertisements, commercials, brochures, business emails and more. They’re all examples of copy. By using certain words, forming certain sentences and calling to people’s emotions, you can (if you are skilled enough) ‘persuade’ people to buy a product or service by entertaining them or making them feel connected to the product or service without them really knowing. It’s a bit of a mixture between regular writing and psychology. I really like writing these kind of texts as well because it shows you just how much words can accomplish. Because of my experience as a webdesigner, I can also provide SEO-friendly texts and give people advice on how to fit a website to a text, or the other way around.
I don’t want this post to be too much of a self-advertisement, but this is what’s keeping me occupied (and has for the last 4 years). I’ll be posting more information about my business as time goes by. If you want to find out more about me and my services, you can check out my website at www.archertext.com.
The dog
Now that we’ve covered that, I’d like to talk to you about something that’s really important to me. My dog. Ever since I moved out, I’ve been thinking about getting a dog. My girlfriend and I both have had dogs since we were little, but time and money was tight at the time we got settled in our current home. Now, a little over 3 years later, things have gotten easier and we felt like we were ready to provide properly for a dog. After all, we want to provide our dog with everything he needs and give him all the time and love we have.
We brought him home about 8 weeks ago now, and the house has never been the same. I’d like to end this post by introducing you to my new best friend Chief.
Thanks for reading and I hope to speak with you again soon!
Dave
