My wife writes a post on her Korean blog daily. She's read advice from successful blog writers who say you should write something every day when you start out, even if the quality is not good. The posts get better and better through practice as time goes on and after a few years you are a successful blogger.
Sounds great in theory, and maybe I should try that as well. But a couple of things make me wary of trying.
First, I don't really want to publish what I know to be bad writing. I'm the same with photography. I edit, edit, edit before selecting a few photos to share. I think the solution to that worry is to write a blog post every day and leave most of them in draft mode to be deleted later if necessary. Or just write in my journal and choose some good entries to share on the blog.
Secondly, I worry that I have nothing to say. I'm not profound. I'm not even that interesting. I worry sometimes that I'm just . . . blank.

If I want to be a writer, then I think I will have to make an effort to write often. Anything. And share perhaps a tenth of what I write. Well, we'll see. Or not.
I guess it depends on what you want from your blog. Write daily/often, or less frequently but maybe better quality(?) Who judges.
ReplyDeleteMaybe like taking photographs too.
I decided to try for twice a week, but that schedule has been interrupted because I hurt my back a few days ago. Damn.
