It’s been two weeks since I jump-started my blog and I’ll admit it’s not easy being a blogger. It takes good writing skills and also proper grammar in order to produce something worth reading. I don’t have any professional writing/editing experiences but I really want my posts to be written in “good taste” so I’m taking my time before I publish my articles online. Another thing is that I am not well-versed with complicated internet terms such as pings and tags. I am lucky because a new found friend just offered to familiarized me with all these things (Yippie! Thanks in advance Vienna!
). More so, I realized that I should at least have a strong personality to tackle controversial issues, to share my ideas and opinions to everyone without the fear of being criticized. You see, I have a lot of things brewing on my mind. I want to write about my one great love, my family and friends, my work, my favorite things, etc. But am I really prepared to put my private life on display just like that? Honestly, I am reluctant to reveal anything truly personal in my future posts. I get very sensitive when I hear negative remarks about the people and things I love. However, mine is a personal blog so I’ve made up my mind…I’d write whatever I fancy! All I want is an outlet to express myself so why put boundaries and limitations? If in case I’ll receive negative comments in the future, here’s what I intend to do: simply delete and ban the irate sender. I don’t want to engage because if I do, I’ll just end up empowering them. Well, that is “if, if , if and if” somebody would find interests in reading my blog hehe
And of course, I’ve heard of bloggers who have become famous and have earned money through advertisements and sponsorhips. Really sounds interesting to me!
The thought of reaping financial rewards through doing something I like is really exciting! But I have to keep things real. I’ve just started and there’s still a lot more to learn about professional blogging. I’m not ready yet to take my blog to the next level. In the meantime, I’ll just focus on enhancing my writing skills and on thinking of cool topics to blog about.
