Admitting Failure

admitting-failure

I would like to take a few minutes and apologize that this blog has been a failure.

I have been distracted by other things and have not had the time to get other 20 somethings to blog for the site. While it might have been a collective failure; I will bear the blame, as it was my idea — the one that brought into fruition and ultimately did not motivate those already listed to follow up on their word and commitment.

With that said, I am going to take some time and see if there is anything that I can do to remedy this failed blog. I will evaluate and see if there needs to be new bloggers, new admins, editors, etc. Or, if there just needs to be an end and shut down of the site.

While the last option is a bit harsh, I need to recognize when things are over my head. This could very much be one of those things.
I do not have as much time as I originally hoped for when I started this side project. Taking online classes, working and trying to learn new skills on the side, while still trying to have a social life is difficult, not to mention trying to fit in some decent sleep from time to time. Maybe handing the project to someone else that could handle, manage and nurture the project would be best.

Welcome to 20Somethings. Before I begin I would like to share the back story of how it came to be.

A few weeks ago I started using AdSense my personal blog (I have since stopped for aesthetic reasons) thinking of making some extra cash. The more I thought about it I noticed hadn’t written something in some time. While thinking of what I could do to write more to make money the idea about asking a few friends to guest write and so forth came up. That would have been acceptable, but the more I dwelled on the notion, the more I disagreed with it. It’s my personal journal… it would have weird to ask someone to write were I have written for the past few years. Yet, it lead me to this.

To help solve that problem I decided that there should be another site base around community, people that know each other and others not so much. To this end I tapped on the shoulders of a few friends. They agreed that it would be a great idea, not only would we be writing in the same place but would make us closer as friends by sharing what going on in our lives. Most of us are in our 20′s but have different upbringings, some of us are in different parts of the country/world. I hope that this will be not just about us writing about our lives but open discussion for people in our age group.

This may have started as a way to make money but became something completely different. I am happy how this has turned out. I really am excited that this will be more focus on sharing and community that anything else.

So I think that introductions are in order, and will let each author introduce themselves.

I’m Kenn. I’m from Southern California and currently working as freelance, basically in any type of creative work.

So, I have no real clue where this is headed but like all things… just hope to write and share experiences and aspirations.
