Blog, Blog, Blog. All of the sudden when I was asked to write a blog, I was so clueless but excited. Pictured myself as a successful blogger and even started to believe that blogging is everything I need. But as soon as you start writing your first blog post, your feelings change. You develop some kind of confusion and fear. Bit of mixed feelings. Then I sat back to write down what One needs, to write a blog.
Just like all the beginners, I started browsing, ended up searching 56 sites and 3 dozen topics like these:
! . Topics that I can write.
!! . How to write a blog
!!! . Mistakes to prevent when you start to write
!V . Blog examples for college students
V . Most popular blog topics 2018
Some topics like “Top 35 Blogging Ideas That Are Guaranteed to Be Popular” made me realize that blogs were not about just writing. It had more; others should find your thoughts interesting, creative and honest. I felt stuck, and probably a bit depressed. I started asking for suggestions from everyone: friends, bloggers and from my cute doggie too. People told me…
“Think…Think….even if you’re walking or having lunch. An idea may strike at any time and any place, and you’ll need to make a note of it.”
I even searched what blog really meant. Wikipedia just described it as a discussion or informational website published for more informal diary-style text entries. It drove me crazy, finally I decided to honestly write what I felt and what I went through while trying to write a blog.
