My name is brynlee. I have had a pretty crazy life, and i am going to tell you about it right now! when i was little i was a very adventurous and curious little girl. I would always want to go somewhere or i would always need to be distracted and always getting into things and i was just crazy. I always would always get into trouble because when i got into things i would always make a mess with it.

I am mature enough that i can do a lot of things on my own and i know not to get into things and make trouble. Although i still manage to make some sort of mischief when i am doing things or going somewhere. I am now 14 years old and in 9th grade. I love to dance, i have been dancing since i was 2 years old! I can not go 1 day without dancing. I am always dancing to music or in the store. Every time a song comes on i just had to bounce a little bit or do some sort of movement to it.

I also love to ride horses. I am in love with them ! I have had horses in my backyard ever since i was a little girl. I used to go and ride on them with my grandpa and he would take me on trails with them. They are my favorite. they are like big dogs that weigh like 600 pounds and are super strong. To this day i still have horses in my backyard and i go out and ride them all the time. Dogs are also my favorite. I have 3 dogs right now and they are the cutest and the best dogs ever. They are super hyper but then when they calm down they are the best cuddle buddies to have!

I know this is kind of strange but my favorite animal is a sloth. They are super cute and are really cuddly. (well at least some of them are) but when they hang on the trees and swing across the other side i find that super fun to see how they manage to do it.

I go on trips a good amount of times each year and i have to say that i don’t have a favorite trip i have been on because i loved all of them. a trip that i went on was Georgia. I loved it because it was beautiful and driving down the roads and all you see are never ending trees that are so big and super green are the best. another trip that i went on was to flaming Gorge with my friends and my family. The water felt so good and the rocks were so pretty. It was super deeps and i loved it. they had a lot of cool fun spots that you could do a lot at. They had this super fun rope swing that was awesome and it was really fun but it was really scary too. I love going to California and Las Vegas and all of those fun places. I go to both at least 3 times a year and a lot of it was for dance.

I love to go up in the moutians! I love to hike up there, have camp fires and roast marshmallows and hot dogs, and i love to just drive and go take pictures, and explore. I go up into the moutians every weekend and when i don’t i miss it a lot. I’m always going and exploring even when its raining and i’m always going and walking around the lake and seeing the bugs and moose and deer and everything that you can see in the moutians. I always go on hikes and walk across the rivers and i even swim in them sometimes. I love going to my cabin that is in the moutians and they have a river and bridges and all fun things. It scary going up there in the winter but its totally worth it because Christmas up there is the best.

My favorite seasons are fall and spring. Fun fact i have the same favorite season as my grandma and i love that. They are the best because spring is just getting warm but its not super hot where you are dreading going outside. Fall is the best because its just getting chilly but its not super cold but still cold enough where you can wear sweatshirts and sweaters. I cant wait to do all of these things again and tell you more things that i a=have come up with and found out and all fun things like that.

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.
