I've found that too, as well as the posts that I just write vs. edit consistently turn out to be some of my best content that really impacts someone. It's interesting how readers can tell, even if they don't consciously know it.

I've found that when I don't pay attention to traffic or design and just write (and write and write), I'm happier and more people notice.

I like the idea of Milk the Pigeon staying as your brain/love child. We all need a place to be "ourselves" and just play, online and off. You've done a ton of incredible work over there, and I'd love to see it turn into more of a place to document your successes and what you've learned while building other things.

For me, my business site is Scrappy Face, so I already have a playground built for testing strategies, all I need is more time in my given day to dedicate to that. And while I play at SF, I'll be taking note of what's working as we build that business while I wait for the right time to start my own.

It's all part of the master plan :)

"And if something in your life that’s supposed to give you pleasure and a break from it all starts giving you stress, you need to make a change." this is pretty much how every day of my life is haha.

I'm terrible at turning want to's into have to's .

This post is a pretty good reminder for me.. I mean.. I always had the intention of starting my blog as a business, from day 1. However, knowing nothing about blogging and nothing about business and nothing about the internet makes for a steep learning curve.

Like you I've torn out my hair 456 times trying to figure out where to go next.

Have you decided what's next, Lamiki?

I think i'm onto two new things -- another blog / project that is strictly professional (seeing as you know how I write.. hahah), and a possible rebranding of Milk the Pigeon once I have money (and keep that as my brain/lovechild). I still feel like what I started is deeply important, soulful work for a lot of 20 somethings, I just can't figure out where to go next.

And let's face it, It's time to work for myself.

Ah, this is great and encouraging! Our first blog is our first love, unadulterated by business seriousness. Thanks for the reminder. :)

Thanks, Gabe! And I'm happy you and Robin found my blog. I read Robin's blog post and your write up on the CrossFit forum and it sounds like this was something that a group of you decided to do one day -- kind of awesome!

Can't wait to see more!

You all did really well with CFRyGos! Thank you for the comment and the link to your blog - I've updated my post to include a link and changed all of the "he's" to include more than one person.

You all did a wonderful job tying them into the Open. I know when I saw the CFRyGos about 12.1 I almost keeled over in laughter.

Thank you for creating these! Though I have a question for you, will you be making any more once regionals start? :)

Barely. I see your point. You should suggest a discount for commuters who have to ride in the virtually windowless busses! :P

I was one of the co-creators of this (Gabe has the visual skills; I have the word skills). I posted them to my blog as well (
http://crossfitfoxygen.blogspo..., but they're so easily shared on facebook through the CrossFit community. It was fun to tie them into bigger things that were going on in the CrossFit world. I hear about them getting pinned on Pinterest too. Fun project!

You pretty much hit the nail on the head, there. The Crossfit Ryan Gosling pics were fun more than anything else. I've seen plenty of memes take off, but I never would have expected to be the driving force behind one of them.

Great post."That’s the magic and the danger behind being a writer, we don’t know how to separate the two worlds apart and we don’t want to. That’s why process of writing is scary and personal, we write about what we see in the world in order to understand it, we write for us and at the same time for you. We write because we have to, because we need to, because the world needs us to." It's always enough and then of course you want more....

Thanks for this list! I read through a few of these articles and found some new sites I wasn't familiar with before (i.e. It Starts With, and We Unite)!
