Lovielies, I feel that I am somewhat stuck. Not with writing, that I can do. I write for a living and on a regular day, I can churn out around 2 000 words from 8 - 5. Now, if you think (and really think if you are like me and are critically allergic to maths) 2 000 is like, totally 10 000 words a week. And that means 40 000 words a months! (note to self - ask for raise) Anyway, I digress. The point I am trying to make is that I never get writers block or blog block when I can write about anything I want to!
What I am stuck on, however, is the platform I use in order to express my inner most thoughts and my likes and dislikes (see blog numero uno). I just do not know if this Blogger and THIS blogger fits. I have always used Wordpress blogs for my work and now I am feeling totally out of my depth with Blogger even though I have been told that it is much easier to maintain than other platforms such as wordpress and others. Is this true kittens?
I want this blog to be visual and enlightening and I just cant seem to give off that sense energy with this blog. Maybe I just need a little Blogger 101 crash course - care to assist?
What do all of you out there in the internets think? Is blogger a limited platform, only letting you extend your design and layout so far or can Blogger be easily adapted and made oh-so-pretty and visual, therefore curing disease and ending world hunger?

In The Beginning...
Oh, hello kittens!
Yes, I have finally reached the point of no return and decided that in order to contemplate life more realistically, I need to break away from reality all together. And what other way could that be done but by starting a shiny new blog!
I guess with a blog you should have a plan of action. You know, who you want to target, what you want to get out of it etc etc. Just this morning in fact, I proudly told someone that I was starting a blog and they looked at me, utterly perplexed (ok, not utterly, but partly) and said, “so, what will your blog be about?” I kind of stuttered and mumbled, “well, anything I want it to be about.” And that shut her up, but it did not have the same effect on me.
So as the owner/manager/important person of this blog, I hereby announce that this blog will be about anything I want it to be about.. I will post insecure ramblings, exiting notions and ideas (well, exciting to me, maybe not to others) as well as things I love, hate, am obsessed with and things I can definitely live without. This will be my platform and if I end up being to only one who reads this, then so be it.
Here’s a little snippet of Lauren 101 for all of you living inside the internets:
• I love social media (so you will be seeing updates of things I find amusing, intriguing and disturbing.
• I love to write. (Hence the blog. Come on now, keep up)
• I love peeling open the layers (but don’t worry, there will be no four page monologues dedicated to my obsession with Chai tea)
So before you run off to another blog for another rambling read, give this a chance, I know we can make it work. Because darling, we are set in the stars.
