My struggle to blog

Tweet

Throughout my schooling career something which came easy to me was my ability to put pen to paper and write, I inherited this love of writing from my Mother. We’d journal and document everything taking place in our lives, challenges we were faced with and highlight all our joys.

It was one of the most therapeutic forms of escaping for me. Being dragged from one parents house to the other was sometimes just too overwhelming. Missing the other parent, missing my room, dealing with a new Step Dad, taking on an adult role at times where a parent failed. It all became too much.

However as a matured and life happened I found myself writing less, reading less and so the story goes.

Now I sit daily staring at my screen hoping praying something will magically appear and my oh so sad blog will look better.

What I’ve realized is :

1. I don’t think that anything I have to say is relevant or interesting
2. I don’t know where I want to go to with it (the blog)
3. I’m intimidated by the idea of putting my words out there
4. What will I do if I receive negative feedback?

If there is anyone who knows of or can share some pointers I’d love to hear from them.

For the blogging legends, how did you get started, was it an easy thing to do, did you struggle with writing at first, when / how does it get better and all tips will be greatly appreciated!

Thats my story for now

Till later
