Shifting Gears with a New Perspective
3 Jan
My blog has been sitting static for almost a year. Pretty sad, right? I can’t believe I let it get this bad. I still read a lot blogs, attend local events and remain very active on my twitter account, but I have kinda lost my way.
I am been dreading writing this post, so much that I wrote it in July, but never actually posted it.
The original point of my blog was to write about my journey to becoming a public relations professional and once I achieved what I set out to do, I stopped writing. There were multiple reasons why this happened… I was scared, didn’t want to get criticized for my opinion. I thought it was better to not say anything at all, rather than argue over what I believed was true or not. But also, I have been dealing with a clash of how to behave in this online transparent, should I be completely professional (but not a true reflection of myself) or competing uncensored. I think I might find my place half way in between both.
I’m an not the only PR Student blogger that has lost their way while transitioning from a PR Student to a PR Professional (granted these references were from when I originally wrote this post..but these were student bloggers who started writing at the same time as me), such as Meg Roberts at PR Interactive and Nick Lucido at PR Start have who expressed their own difficulties about making this change.
But here I am. I am ready to start writing again… going forward my blog will discuss being a young PR professional, social media, communication theory, exploring my love of film, or whatever direction I decide to take.
New Year, New Direction.
