I really wanted to make this blog a place where it was easy to share thoughts on anything, but I didn’t want it to be a place where anyone knew about everything. I’m happy to say that we got there and I think that this has really helped me in making me a better writer and a better person.
This is what I love about blogging. You see a topic and think “this is interesting” and you all get involved in it. It takes place in a completely self-contained world that you can all be involved in at the same time. You can be writing about your hobby, your current interest, or even just about whatever is on your mind.
When I first started blogging, I had to learn how to do it yourself. I had to go to the library and get a book that had the blog in it. I didn’t want to give it up because I wanted to blog, but I also didn’t want to learn how to do it myself. I don’t know what I would have done if I had had that book. I can’t even imagine doing that in real life.
Well, that’s not exactly true. Learning how to blog is absolutely doable. The key is practice. And what blogging is really about is finding the perfect balance between writing about what you want to write about and writing about what you already do. The great thing about blogging is that you can do both at the same time. You can write about your hobbies, whatever you like. Or you can write about anything you want.
That’s actually a good advice. And you can do that too.
It’s all about finding the right balance, between the two. And that balance is actually quite simple. As a rule, you are better off writing about what you like, rather than what you don’t. But what do you like? Well thats basically what blogging is all about. As a rule, you are better off writing about what you already do, rather than what you want to do. But what do you want to do? Well thats pretty much the same thing.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that one of the biggest mistakes new bloggers make is trying to write about something they don’t like. The reason for this is because when people write about things they don’t care for, it makes it much harder for people to be able to relate, thus making it almost impossible to get their ideas across. This is why people love reading blogs rather than reading books, because reading books is boring, and reading blogs makes it fun.
This is why it’s a mistake to write about what you don’t like. It’s a shame that people still do this, but I think it’s worse when it’s so obvious. In a blog, you can write about anything, and as a result you can be writing about your childhood and your interests and hobbies without realizing, it’s not a blog.
