Self-Description:

For as long as I have known, I’ve loved stories. Reading books, as well as watching TV shows and movies with my parents was one of my favorite things to do as a kid; they’ve all inspired me to come up with stories and I’ve been doing so ever since I could lift a pencil. I’ve explored many creative outlets to express my work and Writing is the one that I found to be the most effective for me. Here is my plan to share what I learn, what I come up with, and what I may provide to you!

Step 1: Establishing Your Voice

Who am I? 3-5 Most dominant positive personality traits.

1. Determined
2. Tough
3. Optimistic
4. Supportive
5. Nerd

What do I have to offer? List of 1-3 services or skills you can offer to your audience.

1. Art
2. Advice
3. Flexibility in what I do.

Merge ‘em! Statement explaining how you plan to merge your personality and your services / skills to make your author platform one of a kind.

I’m determined to make content in the form of art that gives context to ideas in my stories, things I am a fan of (Like Star Wars, Gravity Falls, etc.), or of other people’s work! I also like to give advice to others, there’s nothing better than seeing someone become better at something because you were able to help them. Finally, the Flexibility. There are many mediums and genres that I enjoy, for my art specifically I like to draw, sculpt with clay, and design things using Lego! I’m great at finding new ways to find solutions and it is demonstrated in my work, and the work that I will continue to document along the way.

 

Step 2: Create a content game plan.

• Who is your target audience?
  • Young Adult, Fantasy, and Drama Fans. There is crossover appeal in my age ranges.
• What service are you offering?
  • Mainly Art and Communication, I’ll be able to make art of what people make in whatever medium they enjoy and give my opinions on certain things!
    • (I also drew the picture at the top.)
• Where are you going to post your content?
  • Tumblr, Twitter, maybe Instagram and Possibly Reddit.
• When are you going to post your content?
  • Saturday in the mornings, it will be scheduled so that people can read it as they eat breakfast and I’ll be able to respond when I wake up!
• How are you going to spread the word?
  • Make catchy Titles that are easily searchable
  • Use hashtags that apply to my subject.
  • And finally sharing this with my classmates on Skill Share!
