Things I Try To Keep In Mind When Blogging
Me and my lovely friend Jem from Jems Journal were having a little convo about blogging and the things we should remind ourselves when we blog. I love to blog. It is my little piece of the world where i can talk about…what i want to talk about, my blog is just a little piece of me. I never expected to love it as much as i do and talking to other bloggers makes it even better.
When it comes to blogging, i do tend to worry about what people happen to think of my blog, do they like my content etc when in reality i should remember that my blog is for me, it's mine and it shouldn't be someone else's. Everyone in the blogging community should always cheer each other, not belittle other bloggers because every single one of us are different and therefore blog about different things.
1) Your blog is your blog, you have this space to write what you want, to write your thoughts.
2) Share what you're truly passionate about, you don't need to have a set niche when it comes to blogging.
3) Nobody knows what they're doing 90% of the time - at one point or another, we've all had to fake it 'til we make it
4) There's enough room for all of us to succeed and thrive
5) You have a voice, don't be afraid to share it.
6) Blogging can serve many of the same roles as a personal journal so blog for yourself and use your blog as some place to let out your thoughts.
7) Don't feel restricted by what you feel would get read and what you want to read, write for yourself; not others
8) Pen and paper will be your best friend, carry a notebook around with you in case of a little blogging brain wave.
9) You don't need to fit into a 'cliche' to be seen as a blogger, you do you and be yourself.
10) Be proud of what you put out there, it takes time and dedication to create a blog. Always be your own cheerleader in blogging as well as life.
