Over the past two months, I did a major overhaul of this website. I spent time meticulously crafting a homepage that describes the purpose of my website and blog. And it just now occurred to me that I should actually create a post explaining my purpose.
Background
Once upon a time- from 2011 to 2014- I blogged on this site under the name NMNPHX. At that time, I’d been reading blogs, thinking about being a blogger and then one day I just created a blog, hastily threw together my first post, and went to sleep. When I woke up, I had 3 likes and comments. It was inspiring to have hits on my first post.
I didn’t know what I was doing. I didn’t have a purpose other than I was finding my identity as a writer and I thought a blog would lend credibility to my artistic endeavors.
I struggled with naming my blog- NMNPHX was my initials smushed together with the abbreviation for my hometown. I leaned heavily on location as my theme – prompting readers to sit back “enjoy the desert vibes”.
Along the way, I somehow created content engaging enough to gain a decent amount of followers.
Why Print and Flip?
I needed a fresh start for this site. I wanted to be more than just a blog. One aspect I did not have under NMNPHX was producing tangible content. These blog posts are one component of Print and Flip, but the other ingredient is FREE downloadable content meant to entertain and inspire. With that, Print and Flip was born as it describes the action of printing out content and flipping the paper off of the printer.
The Download Page
Right now, downloadable content will include zines and activity books I’ve created. Future downloads will include short fiction content and digital art. Bookmark this page as this will house the downloadable content.
Hint: there is already free content available for download!
What’s your Story?
Now that you’ve heard my reason for creating this site- tell me your story? Drop me a note in the comments below. How long have you been blogging? What’s your purpose, your motivating to keep blogging?
I can’t wait to hear your story!
Print and Flip!
