This past week has been extremely busy for me, but I was able to get a few posts out on our group blog. I had been having some difficulty accessing the blog as an author, but Mary worked her magic and made everything work out just fine. I’m 2 weeks behind on posting in our group blog so I have to post at least three times – one of which I already did for this week – but I’ll add the other two by the weekend so I can get caught up.

I’ll be honest – I’m having a little difficulty figuring out what to post on our group blog, because I’m not sure if I want to share a whole bunch of personal stories and I haven’t really asked anyone else if they have any stories they’d like to share. I feel like you can only share so much information and statistical data on the issue before you become redundant or start to sound boring. My hope is that I can run through some ideas with Mary sometime this week.

One frustrating piece of working in a group is trying to get a meeting scheduled each week so you can check in, ask questions, make sure everyone is still on the same page, and come up with a game plan so everyone does their share of the project. I’m really hoping that we can chat sometime this week and catch up, because we still have videos that we have to make and submit in the next 2 weeks and I’m not the best at creating content like that, so I was looking forward to picking Mary’s brain and seeing if she could give me some much needed guidance.

My focus for this week is to do at least two posts on Instagram and two posts on Twitter, in addition to adding two new posts to our group blog. I think if you post twice a week on your social media pages, you’ll meet the requirements. I’m also keeping screen shots of each post that I make, including the blog postings, so I can use them throughout my project portfolio. I’m really looking forward to completing this project, because it’s been really difficult for me.
