AAUGH! What To Blog About?
Do you ever have that moment when you sit down to blog and you have all these ideas swirling around in your head but yet when you go to actually put them into words you can’t think of a single thing to write. Either you don’t know how to out your thoughts into words or you aren’t sure people are going to want to read what you have to say?
This happens to me a LOT! The best advice I have given myself, and would give you if you experience this, is to push forward. Write what you feel, write from the heart, and don’t worry about others.
As an author, I of course want to please my audience and make my readers not only happy but wanting to come back for more. I have learned over the years that I also have to write for myself. You know that saying:
“You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”
― Abraham Lincoln
It is absolutely true! Stephen King also says this:
“You can’t please all of the readers all of the time; you can’t please even some of the readers all of the time, but you really ought to try to please at least some of the readers some of the time.”
What are the odds everyone will hate what you wrote? Slim. So if you write what is meaningful to you chances are at least one other person will like it. If you’re passionate about what you write that will shine through and while people may not love the topic they will feel a bond with you and be interested in what you have to say.
Don’t be fearful…JUST WRITE!!!
