Writing Made Easy

Blogging has been a great outlet for my own style and pace of writing as it allows me to choose what and how much I write. I can write fairly short articles when I don’t feel like ploughing into a real in-depth thousand plus worder! Or if I suddenly get into a real writing slipstream I can hammer out a really long one when I might have only planned on two or three hundred words.
Which is why, from my point of view, blogging really is writing made easy!
With my own menagerie of blogs, I sometimes find it hard to keep up with them all so they don’t all get a new post published every day, although my main one (usually) does. But when they’re your own it doesn’t really matter.
That for me is the special magic of blogging, because there are no restraints, no rules (apart from those you make yourself), no time limits and no deadlines!
That doesn’t mean I can just leave some of my blogs dormant for weeks on end if I don’t feel like writing anything in them. That sort of defeats the whole object. I write for fun but I also write with an ulterior motive in that as each of my blogs matures I intend for them to attract advertising dollars into my bank account! But that’s just me, although I would guess that a lot of bloggers are of a similar mind.
So whenever I come upon those times when I look at one of my blogs and think “Oh, not today…” I stop and remind myself that by skipping that post, I could be losing money in a few months time. That usually kicks my bony old behind into gear and gets something written!
At the end of the day, a blog is what you make it.
A lousy one is a neglected, poorly written and thought-out blog that few people will bother returning to read. But a great blog is one that is regularly contributed to, well written and thought-out and interesting and entertaining enough to ensure those readers want to keep coming back for more.
