This website means a lot to me. More so than just a place to put words and ideas, but rather as a representation of myself. Everyday new ideas are weaved into the plans for this site. Big conversations happen almost daily about my goals. I am a go getter – I always have been. I have never settled for anything less than I thought I was capable of.
In the words of Ariana Grande, “I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it (yeah)…”
I want this site to be a place where you can collectively laugh and be challenged. Where you will find resources to help your writing and then feel comfortable laughing at my comical stories of failure. I have plenty.
Here is the exciting part. Starting tomorrow, I will be incorporating a regular program with weekly posts that you can look forward to. In typical Leah fashion, they will be witty, entertaining, and humorous.
Come back tomorrow when I introduce my new section, “Retro Ad Revise.” In a completely non-serious, satirical approach, I will be re-writing old ads from the 80s and 90s. Pop some stove top popcorn and get your slouch socks and pogs ready to go! It will be a blast!
Writer to writer: The joined words “non-serious” bugged me. But as you can see, I left them. They are not grammatically incorrect and most certainly relay the point. Thing is, I am an obsessive editor – something that I am professionally used for. It is a blessing and a curse. Does anyone else get stuck on a word or phrase for longer than a few minutes, then find themselves stuck in the editing rabbit hole?
For those who have absolutely no idea about the song I referenced above, no need to feel old, I’ve added it below. However, be warned, watching it might once again, make you feel old…
