Blogging as a beginner
I’m fairly new to writing. Though I’ve kept a diary for nearly 8 years now, it’s all contained in one notepad, with sporadic notes every few months.
As I’ve started to think about what I would want to write about and why, I’ve realised that simply keeping a diary online is a bit pointless and that if I’m going to put something on the web it should at least be interesting for others to read!
For me, this means a few things.
- Not posting unless I have a point I want to make.
- Making sure that I post something that is unique to me
- Thinking of who I’m writing for, rather than writing for myself
Not exactly groundbreaking, but then this is newbie level stuff here.
So what’s my point? Well, the reason that I’m not just packing it in as a bad idea is two-fold.
Firstly, I strongly believe that action beats thinking about action every time. So it’s better that I blog, stumble and learn, than spend forever thinking about blogging but never getting anywhere. Secondly, failure is good, so I’ve read all over the web, and where better to fail than in a nice safe, free blog with my free template – shock horror?
