Want to start personal blog. Looking for serious buddieshttps://forms.gle/EvefpapAz2SZ5wDT6
hey gals,Am interested to give shape to my writing habit through a blog. I am planning to build a group of 3-4 like minded folks who are interested to write in public but have not been able to do so yet, maybe due to lack of focus or discipline. We can share drafts for review and hold accountability on timelines. Topic categories: product management, career transition into PM, interview and resume preps, and finally my love for yoga and fitnessI am sincere about making it happen and will invest seriously in mutual growth. Please fill out this form or reply here or in DM if you're interested: https://forms.gle/EvefpapAz2SZ5wDT6Thanks :)
GMcD·May 13, 2021GMcD·May 13, 2021Hi Devina, any focus topics you have in mind?
Devina246·May 13, 2021Devina246·May 13, 2021Hey Gwen, I will mostly write about product management, career transition into PM, interview and resume preps, and finally my love for yoga and fitness.Does any of this resonate with you?
GMcD·May 13, 2021GMcD·May 13, 2021I written about intellectual property topic in my personal blog but that was a long time ago (https://planetip.wordpress.com). Have not written anything publicly since then other hand papers for corporate level in-house. I am into fitness, foods, and solution for autoimmune diseases these days. Not too sure if these are also right up your alley.
Devina246·May 13, 2021Devina246·May 13, 2021I am also an autoimmune-beating enthusiast. I am HLA-B27 positive and want to spread awareness about anti-inflammatory diet and discipline of Ashtanga yoga through my blog. Do we have something in common? :)
GMcD·May 13, 2021GMcD·May 13, 2021I am SLE, aka Lupus. Always have to be considering the safety of my meal to prevent flares. Initially, I over-simplified my illness and pay minimum attention on my meals and activity, which ended in ER several times. Bummer! Since then, I studies and done several research into this diseases and other autoimmune disorders. Love to get together with you on autoimmune beating journey. We can get this offline and exchange contact if interested.
Devina246·May 14, 2021Devina246·May 14, 2021Sounds super inspiring Gwen! Let's for sure connect offline. Am active on [email protected]Yep, I am a vegetarian but I am turning vegan and completely trying to avoid Gluten as I've found it leads to inflammation (and eventually flare ups). Diet restriction + Yoga discipline has really helped me.
GMcD·May 14, 2021GMcD·May 14, 2021I can be reached at [email protected]. Happy to contribute my part to the blog.
This is awesome! I published a blog post yesterday (after a gap of almost a year) and really want to get back into it. Would love to be an accountability buddy :)
@MansiT good to hear you're at it Mansi :)Would love to take a look at your blog if you can share the link. Also, is there anything specific you're looking from your accountability buddy?
Blog.mansi.usJust an open channel to share ideas, how to make a post look aesthetically pleasing etc, and nudges to actually get to the posting.
Sure Mansi. Apologies for late response. If you're still interested, can you please fill out the details here: https://forms.gle/EvefpapAz2SZ5wDT6
@MansiT Hey Mansi.. I by mistake lost your email ID. Can you please share either here on DM? Thanks a lot!
I'm currently working on my substack to just publish weekly rundowns of my life as a grad student and would love the accountability even if it's a quick weekly text!
@beleiciabullock good to hear you have already built a momentum! Do you mind sharing the link to your substack? Would love to have a look. And are you looking for anything specific in your accountability buddy? like feedback on drafts/ ideation or simply accountability on being consistent?
@Devina246 - this my current substack - https://godgrowthandgradschool.substack.com/. I am looking for accountability with consistency and some feedback on tone as a first step, since I am just starting out. I want to keep the vibe of the substack as a honest and"raggedy" look into my experiences, so I feel comfortable with the ideation portion of it, but I would love to get feedback on drafts (to see how my voice/tone comes across) and to post weekly.
Appreciate the clarity you have on what aspect you want to get feedback on from the accountability group. Can you please fill out the details here: https://forms.gle/EvefpapAz2SZ5wDT6
Thanks for the invite! I had some other commitments come on my plate and will not be able to participate. I don't want to over commit and then not be able to support my accountability partner.
Hi Devina, sounds interesting. Which topics are you interested to write?
Hey Angelica, these are some of the categories am thinking: product management, career transition into PM, interview and resume preps, and finally my love for yoga and fitnessAnything resonates with you?
Hi Devina,Yes, definitely, my startup is focused in help college students into transition of college to professional life, so that is something work for me.How do you plan to start?
This is a very promising topic Angelica. Can you please fill out some details here: https://forms.gle/EvefpapAz2SZ5wDT6Thanks!
Done!!! I'll stay tuned. Thank you.
I'm interested! I have to be writing an insight every week, and on some weeks, conduct an interview of players in the DEI and social impact spaces. My topics: supporting product teams; accessibility and inclusion in a "current challenge" area. Current challenge I am exploring is "Access to Wellness" - for example Deaf folks have literally died because of mistranslations by poorly trained ASL interpreters. Or, what barriers exists for persons with disabilities at a yoga class? For yoga instructors.Heavy stuff! But A. I can be fun, I joke a lot, and B. am a former award winning journalist back in college, who has hardly written for years and years while being immersed in running a business. I need a buddy group and definitely bring chops to the table. My only thing is, I prefer Google docs for comments and suggested revisions, or something very similar at least. LMK if good fit!
You are doing inspiring stuff @Lisi. Let's take this forward. Can you please fill out details here: https://forms.gle/EvefpapAz2SZ5wDT6Thanks :)
I am currently creating content for our app's blog, including some tutorials, best practices and insight articles on usability as well as process updates about development and management. I have set out a goal to post daily and it would be great to have support! https://defternotes.com/blog.html
