Stages of starting a blog

By Kat


There. I said it! Writing a blog is hard.
I'll admit that I'm writing this as I realise that I forgot to post today, meaning that I'm hurriedly trying to get this done in the ten minutes before twelve o'clock comes around.
Much like my previous post on instruments, mastering blog writing is of course a similar art. Here are the stages of blog writing, as I have experienced in the past month.
- Being new
Being new is always difficult. And yes, I'll admit, I am a bit new at this. I have been hobby writing for a while now, but the online world is a different art to master. It goes a bit like this:
"Finally! My great writing skills shall be shown to the world in a wondrous display! I will go viral on the front pages of all the websites in the world!"
- Settling into a rhythm
I have posted daily ever since the blog has started, so naturally it has become part of my daily routine. But often it ends up like this:
"Time to go to sle...oh wait! I forgot! Noooooo. Time to hurriedly type up a post. What to write about? My mind is not thinking! Awaken! Awaken!"
- Obsessiveness
Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.
"Oh goodness I got another viewer!"
Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.
"Another?"
Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.
"Damn, I should really do some marketing, shouldn't I?"
Yes, ladies and gentlemen. That is how we get to here. Yes, writing a blog hasn't proven itself to be the easiest thing in the world. But yes, it's been rewarding and it's been great to get ideas and opinions and general amusing stories out there. I encourage you all to give it a go, because the world needs you and your opinions to add another facet to the already multi-dimensional world that is simply in need of more angles to look at an image at. We are all viewers of the canvas that this earth has been founded on, and all our interests and who we are matters to the place as a whole. So get out there. Share your ideas, and leave a comment down below. These insights matter, and you never know, they just may be people out there willing to listen.
