If an Ideal Blogging Niche Exists for Me, Maybe it’s The Struggle

May 26th 2010

I don’t want to go over again how weary I am. I’ve been at a loss for a blogging niche I can emotionally and mentally commit to. A less stubborn individual might take that as a sign from God that maybe blogging isn’t to be the most important thing in my life right now. After [...]

There’s Room for a Serious Child Prodigy Blog

May 13th 2010

Of all the blog ideas that have come and gone, one that I wish someone other than me would attack is a serious child prodigy blog. I want stories, video, audio, testimonials, historical records, talent searches… the works. Why put a limit on it? Stories, stories, and more stories. Children who invent, create, comprehend, and [...]

Pursuit = Love

April 19th 2010

Thoughts on this statement? “If no one pursues you, you’re not valuable. If you’re always the pursuer, you’ve never been loved.”

The Number One Reason Why I Don’t Blog Much Anymore

April 16th 2010

After two days of PubCon, I feel shamed back into blogging. So I went to my blog this morning, looked at it, and asked myself, “Why don’t I blog anymore?” So then I’m watching this old Perry Belcher video, and I suddenly see the light. Amazing, right? If you don’t want to take time to [...]

A Family that Blogs Together Stays Together

Facebook friends: Please read this whole post at DanielDessinger.com and leave your comments there. My wife (Heather), my mother-in-law (Barbara, aka “Gigi”), and want to do something new.

Shamed into Blogging

February 11th 2010

I’m watching Motherhood (starring Uma Thurman and Minnie Driver) with Heather. We’re holed up in my mother-in-law’s room while Gigi does her very best to keep Katie entertained for two solid hours.

Welcome to my life. If there’s anything I can talk about all day – all week, it’s blogging. Blogging strategy, blog design, blog community, you name it. If it’s about blogging, you’ll have my attention. I created DailyBlogCrush.com to talk about all the things I love (and hate) about my favorite blogs. Yeah, I probably [...]

What I'm Up To These Days

January 8th 2010

I’m determined to share more of my life in my blog this year. It’s been a back and forth proposition over the past few years. I’ve gone from full disclosure to secret anonymous personal blog to professional disclosure only to never really updating to now. Here we are. It’s 2010. Time to stop the flip [...]

Celebrating Four Years of Blogging

December 29th 2009

I missed a significant date in my history, and I can’t move on until I’ve given it 20 seconds of fame. Just over four years ago, I became a blogger. Though I can find a few instances of “blogging” I did years before, I consider my official beginning as a blogger to be November 1, [...]

Don’t Wait for a Book Deal

November 2nd 2009

Write what’s on your heart NOW. Take advantage of this amazing technology called blogging and put your heart into the expression of what you care most about.
You don’t have to wait until there’s “Free Time” – whatever that is. Do it now. Do it today. Write a paragraph. Write a sentence. Publish it.
The purpose is [...]

About Daniel

I love hearing people share their hearts, their hurts, and their passions. In a culture where most people seem to focus on how to "win", I'm much happier connecting with people who are hungry for real friendship connections. Life is too short to focus on making money. I want to know people.
