I put up a blog for three primary reasons:
- To brush up my writing skills.
- To document life events and happenings.
- If all goes well, to make money out of blogging in the future. (no matter how long it takes)
As a neophyte, it's baffling to decide what contents my blog will be showcasing. I originally opted my blog to mostly feature food and traveling since I love eating and discovering new places. So for the first month, I posted food trippings at least once a week. Then, I reckon it stands to reason that one post a week would be ridiculous and useless. On the contrary, food and restaurant hunting spasmodically is impossible bearing in mind that I'm no rich kid with a thousand bucks allowance a day to support such. What more in financing out-of-town excursions. I resolved to making the blog a little personal featuring all things random, including thoughts, rants and my say on things (albeit I still continue posting yummy foods every now and then cos first love lol). Last night I went on reading personal blogs for some ideas on interesting topics to post. I was dumbfounded at how adventurous one can be in a personal blog. You can post basically anything you want! It seems quite liberating. I especially stumble across this enthralling and entertaining blog,
myblogexactly I managed to read all the entries.She has these certain types of posts scheduled to be blogged on specific days/months/events that encourage her to maintain blogging engaging stuff consistently and prevents her from slacking off. I was so inspired I decided to adopt few of her categories into my own blog.
- Weekly Round-up on Sundays. Summary of the happenings in my life for the past seven days. This includes: Face of the Week, Stumble of the Week and Gratitude of the Week.
- Top 7 on Fridays. Random lists of my top seven picks. It could be a list of my pet peeves, celebrity crushes, favorites etc.
- Writing prompts and challenges. Weekly writing, photo challenges and daily prompts from the Daily Post
So there you go, a motivation for this craft. Hopefully, I get to stick to this posting schedule for as long as the summer vacation permits at least. Maybe I could start right now!
