I love blogging and will often speak passionately on the benefits of blogging. A question I am often asked, by those new to blogging is, how do I start a blog? In this post, I will walk you through five easy steps to start a blog. And, I will also share my top blogging tips and tools to get you started on your own blogging journey.
I feel very honoured and rather proud to have been nominated for my first ever Versatile Blogger Award (VBA). Thank you so much to Chloe of A Palm Full Of Feathers, for your kind nomination. Your generosity in nominating me came with the added bonus of being introduced to your inspiring blog. It is always a pleasure to discover people on the journey of recovery.
Today’s post is a bit of a ‘thinking out loud’ piece, reflecting on the ways I am developing my blog. In the six years since I first created it, this blog has been changed so many times, as I struggled to find a focus for it. Recently, in moving my career concentration over to writing, this, at last, gave me a purpose. In deciding to use this blog as a place to showcase my writing styles and abilities, I felt excited as I began to fill it regularly with content.
However, I am finding myself with a lot of frustrations and questions and am feeling rather unsatisfied and unsure if I am doing things in the best way.
When I decided I wanted to start writing for a living, my main obstacle was self-doubt. I put off sending pitches to editors and publishers because I thought I should wait until I was a better writer. The trouble is that I am my own worst critic, being a perfectionist comes as naturally to me as breathing. Therefore I often never feel good enough and fail to even start because of this self-doubt.
