Over the past 2 months, I've found a ton of new blogs
but lately, I've really been trying to branch out in terms of the different types of blogs I search for and read.
Since doing so, I've started to notice just how many different types of blogs AND BLOG WRITERS there are out there!
...Beauty-lovers, fashion-admirers, trend-setters, anecdote-sharers, kitchen-creators, world-travellers, adventure-seekers, daily-recorders, advice-givers, story-tellers...
People are motivated to write & share posts by lots of different things - it might depend on the content they publish or even just what they hope to achieve from blogging down the road.
All you bloggers out there have found a REASON to blog!
Something that made you start, and something that makes you keep going.
If someone asked you, what would you say?
"It's...
Cathartic
An escape
Like a diary
A free hobby
Something I can take with me anywhere
A little space of the internet all to myself
Convenient seeing as I'm on the internet a lot anyways...!"
"It helps me...
improve my writing
improve my photography skills
track my progress - goals, cooking, fitness, school, whatever I want!"
"It's somewhere I can...
give advice
make people laugh
make people think
share my experiences
share what I'm passionate about
find people with similar interests!"
Perhaps it's just somewhere you can write what you want, when you want.
Maybe it's somewhere you can truly express yourself how you'd really like to.
For everyone, I think it's a little different, but it's interesting to find out WHY your favourite bloggers really do blog, and what makes them post what they do.
From an "outsider's" perspective, I can see why it would be interesting to know why so many people do blog.
And from an "insider's" perspective, I can acknowledge each individual person's reason(s) for blogging, and can even understand why some bloggers choose to keep their blogs anonymous. (*high five!*)
Yes, potential readers might care how often you post, and your views might be higher if you post about certain topics, but, I think my point of this entire post is just
to blog if YOU want to blog, and blog about what YOU want to blog about.
If you want to blog, go for it! When that spark's gone though, that's okay too.
Whatever motivates you, keep that in mind.
