Knock knock! Who’s there? The helper. The helper who?
Adam:
The helper who will clean your house and help you get red of changes and bills laying around the house;
The helper who will feed your children porridge all day and steal your coffee and steaks;
The helper who will keep your house warm so I can take the bag of charcoal home;
The helper who will keep your house safe, will even teach your children how to shoot;
Please open?! It says on your doormat “knock and door shall open, ask and you shall be given”;
The helper who will disinfect your house, “but I don’t have any roaches”, “can I use your toilet for a second”, “sure”, “thank you” well now you have roaches…

Eve: no thank you I don’t need any help,
My husband vacuum cleans all that dirt and seal the bags properly to keep the trash collectors happy
My husband already got my kids used to porridge, he keeps our steaks in the neighbor’s fridge coz we don’t have electricity. You can have the coffee though we hate its bloody taste.
Oh no need, my husband bought us each a petrol generator that we run all day and all night to keep the whole yard warm, the only coal left is for children to play with
My husband already keeps us safe he’s part of a gang so his people got our backs. Our children look up to their fathers and made friends with children of gangsters there’s really nothing to worry about. Plus my husband is a strong physical, can’t tell you how I know but I know
Oh so that’s what it says, I just bought it coz it looks good.. come in then, I’ll give you anything you ask for. But you have to leave at some point.
Fine you can come clean, feed my children and disinfect everyday, but don’t tell my husband I’ve been giving you coffee….

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.
