I couldn’t help it but change an article in my blog name

I now in my first post in my 3 days old blog that I originally named it ‘Swimming in Words’ I wrote almost a thesis on why and how I chose the article 'in' instead of the 'with', as now my blog is called ‘Creativefishi Swimming with Words’. The reasons are for the change are-explained briefly this time: 1. I learned how to navigate my way through blogspot, therefore, I can change the name of the blog without losing the posts attached to the blog. 2. The article ‘with’ in the blog name, as I said in my original post titled- My first Blog ever and I'm very proud!

The main character of the movie based on facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg has inspired me to follow what I'm passionate about. This is what I tweeted for the occasion. "Watching the Social Network tonight came at the right venture in my life, especially when I failed at an internal job interview. 11:17 PM Nov 24th, 2010 via web" So while I was washing the dishes the next day, I thought to myself I should do what that guy did in the movie and follow my passion, which is fiction novel writing.

But the main part of my brain was thinking like this (It's almost been SIX month from the naming of my blog in my head: to actually taking action and actually doing it- so the below is an enactment of what did happen): Introducing my brain
