The author  

Life 92-73 

A war vet and a writer 

The start of an epic  

The departure 

This is the story of a ring that ruled them all 

A story of creatures big and small 

All in middle earth a quest unfolds 

But to whom will answer the call  

For there was a great party 

No one invited was tardy  

The party was a smash but bilbo had an idea 

With a bang and a flash, he left the scene. 

The adventure calling 

R ingwraiths pursuing the 4 hobbits starting out  

I  mportant is the quest they partake in to destroy the ring 

N  ight and day they must travel through the misty mountains and forests 

G  andalf guides the fellowship made by the council to mordor 

The thief among them 

Boromir wanted the ring  

Frodo said and didn’t give him a thing 

Frodo said no  

Then decided he wanted to go 

Frodo went with Sam to Mordor alone with a zing 

The moral 

The team of nearly 10  

Try to use teamwork to throw the ring 

Into the volcano. 

The analysis 

The story of a team of friends 

Working together for a common goal  

Guided by a mentor and facing hardships  

That makes them grow as characters.   

I HAVE A DREAM

world is getting hotter

many dont have water

mental pains cause a slaughter

need brains to avoid debt

the world melts its getting worse

nation returns to business as usual.

TO BE ME

the oppisite of a bear eating honey and as damaged as a broken vase

having the anger of a swarm of bees but with knowledge of a book too

for i like to laze upon a mattress and do nothing of importance while consuming the media

doing things while barely trying and wanting to put the minimum effort

this is me

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
