I'm not sure I've yet found my blogger's "voice". My blogs tend to be fairly personal about what is going on within my world and I wonder if that has enough of a universal appeal to keep readers wanting to come back. Do I need a "hook"? A gimmick? I always want to be authentic. I don't want to hide anything--even the unsavory aspects of what I do and why I do them. That's the thing about becoming a more self aware human: one often finds out one's motives for things aren't always altruistic and are sometimes downright selfish and self-serving.
Nevertheless I will leap with both feet into next month's blogging challenge and know that I will enjoy it and stress about it and maybe even pull at my hair sometimes due to coming up blank on topics. I will also learn more about myself and others through reading their blogs and will come out in May better for it.
Happy blogging!
Good luck with the challenge, I'm sure it'll come to you, maybe write a few advance posts? That might help a bit.
ReplyDeleteI've signed up, I'm looking forward to reading lots of bloggers. Just hope I can keep up with reading and writing.

Oh, my, can I relate to this post. I have written, gained and lost readers, and I guess I have decided... I write for myself, and I just hope others enjoy. I wish you the best on your blogging, and will enjoy seeing what you write.
