Crunchy Goodness, Coming Soon!

I thought you’d like a sneak peak at this week’s project:

That’s right, the writer who can’t seem to keep up with one blog is starting a second one. Sure, it seems counter-intuitive, over-achieving and down-right absurd. Still, in a backwards way, starting a second blog might just cure my blogging blahs, and benefit both blogs.

MindTweaks is set up to be a topic oriented, mostly left-brained sort of thing. Lots of sort-of-science, analysis, psychological tricks, and the like, all very left-brained/logical in tone. But while I’m certainly competent at left-brain-type tasks, I spend most of my life in right-brain mode - so an awful lot of potentially awesome content just doesn’t fit here.

The result is I censor myself, bouncing back and forth between ideas that fit, but aren’t what I want to write, and ideas I want to work on, but that don’t exactly suit the theme.

Sure, I can twist, saw, and hit those right-brained concepts with a sledge hammer until they fit (and I have done that, on many occasions) but I’d rather have a place better suited to the intuitive, creative side of things… Thus, the soon-to-be-unveiled “Creative Crunch” blog.

The intent is for The Crunch to be a bit more freewheeling and forgiving than the mind/brain oriented subjects here, to provide a place to post some of my own work, interviews with other folks, and so on.

Both blogs fit with the for-profit sorts of things I have in progress, but hopefully, The Crunch will be a bit tighter niche-market than “People with Brains” (I don’t really know why I thought that “people with brains” was a niche market when I started MindTweaks, but I did. Go figure.)

Anyway, The Crunch should be launching sometime next week. Once I have all the bugs out of the template there, I’ll redo the MindTweaks template to match, put together some version of a store, and get on with writing useful articles, networking, and project development.

Sound good? Any questions/suggestions/requests?
