BLOGGER SPOTLIGHT: JASON BEAN
What blog do you write?
I write for Christian Music Fan. I’ve grown up in the church all my life so there’s anobvious connection to Christian music. I’ve also spent some time living in Nashville and Franklin, TN so I’ve got some contacts in the industry as well.
How long have you been blogging?
I’ve been blogging now for about 3 years seriously. It’s been a terrific ride but there’s been a lot to learn and some discipline to be developed.
What do you like best about blogging?
I love the conversation and freedom to just share what you’re thinking with people. It’s great if people read and respond to what you share to both challenge and confirm your own assumptions, but even if nobody read the process is very cathartic for me.
Describe yourself in 5 words.
detailed, procedural, humorous, demure, determined
What is the last song that you heard that made you say ‘Wow!’?
Whoa! Good question. For me it would probably be “A New Law” by Derek Webb from his Mockingbird album.
What album is currently taking over your rotation?
I’m not sure if there’s a single album. I’ve been taking advantage of grabbing free music downloads from a variety of sites lately so my playlist is usually a compilation of all those songs and that’s what I’m listening to actively now.
What advice would you give someone who is just starting out as a blogger?
How ever much time you think you’re going to devote to writing, plan on investing twice that much on just reading and absorbing everything you can find about your topic niche.
Favorite quote?
Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday. I’ve come a long way in my outlook on hurdles and challenges that come along your way through life. You can either freak out over them and get stuck mired down in the emotion of it, or just hit it head on and realize that for the most part our lives are easy compared to lots of other people around us that are working through much harder challenges in their life. Just be thankful and understand your blessed.
