Sometimes I have a really good idea for a blog post pop into my head. I think to myself what a great and creative idea it is and since it is so good I won’t need to write it down because I will remember it. But the truth is, half the time I don’t remember it. Or I remember it a week later or once the topic isn’t relative anymore. Fail me.
I’ve been gaining new readers everyday from all over the world. I am not totally sure how that happens but some how it does. People find me interesting? People feel sorry for me? People think I am weird? Maybe all 3?
My goal of this blog would be to have a worth while post everyday but honestly, I haven’t been good at that. It could be something creative, or something that gets someone to think, or something that is at least funny. I am starting to remind myself, less is sometimes more. Quality over quantity. Green and Gold over orange and black or pinstripes. You get the point.
Some days what I want to write about, doesn’t click. Some days, I don’t have the time. Some days, I’ve got nothing. But everyday is a learning experience. It helps me grow as a “writer” and as a ninja.
Most probably don’t know this, but I am working on a book. A lot of times I will write a chapter, and rewrite it over and over again. Writing this blog helps me expand and grow as a writer. It’s like taking a practice test every time I post something.
So my encouragement today to anyone that wants to write, whether it’s books, movies, news, whatever…start a blog and take as many practice tests as possible. Read your old posts from a month ago, 6 months ago, a year ago, and laugh at how you have grown.
If you are clueless in starting a blog, I will be making a step by step post soon on how to start one and how to make sure it works and doesn’t suck and all that fun stuff. So keep your eyes open. Thanks for reading!
PS
Here is what I’ve been reading this week. Here and here.
