How to Write a Blog Post

1. Just start writing. The only way to to get the juices flowing is to turn on the faucet. A shitty first draft is better than no draft at all.
2. Be you. The best way to gain to new readers is to write as only you can. Your unique voice and your cumulative experiences creates a perspective that only you have.
3. Don’t be afraid of writing about controversial topics. Your opinion as important and valuable as anyone else’s.
4. Be flexible. One of the things I have learned over the years is that the way to improve my own blogging is being open to different formats and subjects as I go along.
5. Be creative. If you have an idea for a blog post or a topic to write about, go for it.
6. Use WordPress to the fullest. The range of tools we have is awe inspiring.
7. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. We can only improve our writing if we actually write.
8. Have fun. Writing is fun, even when it feels like work. I don’t know about you, but I always feel better knowing that I have gotten my thoughts onto the page.
