Blogging Sensation - Sharnanigans takes Australia by storm with blogs and new book ! (did we mention she rakes in the money and the fans!)

Is it bold of me, or newage of me to make a statement such as this:

I am going to be a famous blogger, author and columnist?

Actually don't bother answering, its not a question - its a given

Well, I am going to be. I'm trying positive affirmations on for size and I like what I'm feeling.

Positive affirmations is where it is at. Just ask Louie Hayes.

Knowing what you want is half the battle. I tell you. I want it. I feel I have a way to go and a lot to learn and stuff to figure out but don't tell me I didn't tell you!!!

"You become what you think about most of the time -" Brian Tracy

If Mr. Tracy is on the money than my current obsession with being a blogger is going to set me up for great things. I think about it all the time, when I am not thinking about nappy changes.

I am obsessed with blogs.

I spend my free time reading blogs from all over the world, I have joined the Blogher community - a network of women bloggers and my dream would be to attend the annual conference next year in NY, perhaps do a spot of shopping and have a couple of cosmopolitans whilst in the hood!!!

I am studying blogs, being inspired by blogs and I have a lot to learn but I want to learn learn learn the art of blogging.

I have looked at the top 100 blogs in Australia and stumbled across the 'blogologist' Alister Cameron who is a blog coach!

What a modern career!

Well by hook or by crook I am finding out what the man has to say and he can slip me any information on how I can make it to that top 100 then I will pay for his services!

In my short blogging life so far the bloggers that take my fancy the most are:

Girl Gone Child a fabulous blog written by a wild child turned mama - she writes incredibly well and has a book deal out of her blogging (my hero!)

Speaking of bloggers who get books (but are already famous) Mia Freedman is a great Aussie Blogging Icon who was kind enough to give me some advice when emailed.

What a champion!

Down to earth and such a great writer, perhaps she is the voice of our generation... (until my voice overtakes hers of course - cue in evil laughter)

Other pearlers I have come across in my journey is Martinis for Milk and Mommi Nani Boo Boo

All I can say it is early days in my blogging career.

And I haven't yet hit my straps (is that the saying???) at all.... probably a long way off those straps in fact.

But I can feel it coming on

-- and I am a determined mofo.

I am going to learn as much as I can about the business and write the hell out of my posts and evolve until my blogging voice becomes one that resonates with some sort of people, somewhere. It's all a bit vague, but I can see the light in the distance...

Do what you love and the money will follow - they say - I do this for love not money - but isn't it the ultimate dream to be paid for what you love?

I am going to do it.

Damn it.

Watch this space.

(please - my whole dream actually relies on you watching this space, watch it, follow it, comment on it, if you don't like this space, tell me why, I don't mind - feedback is my friend)

What would you love to be paid to do?

Hey I don't mind rocking myself with these questions, one day someone will answer one hahaha.....
