I'd say if you want to improve your writing, submit your writing in a place where you can receive constructive feedback.

If you do want to be consistent, one thing you can do is set a goal - say, one post a day or week or something, and alternate between publishing writing pieces, writing tips, book reviews and whatever else you can think of. Have a goal that's achievable, backlog when you have more time on your hands and see if you can keep up a steady stream and attract readers. And make use of tags to make it more searchable. And you might find new friends or critiques as well through that.

I totally agree. On my blog, I generally write reviews of spiritual books, and sometimes share updates on what's going on in my life.Insightsintobooks wrote:I blog and I love it. It's a great way to improve your writing and get involved in the community.

"I blog because I enjoy it." Nailed it! This is the greatest factor for me. <3CJBrightley wrote:I enjoy blogging, but I try not to put pressure on myself about it. Blogging is a fun addition to my website... it's not my writing career. I write about books I'm reading, characters I love, my own writing projects (scenes, new releases, character interviews, etc.), and I've even been able to share some fan art that a reader made!
I blog because I enjoy it. I'm not sure that there's any discernible, quantifiable benefit to my writing career from blogging. It is a good way to keep writing on shorter pieces when you're taking a break from a novel or something.

One of my favorite quotes-- ironically I can't remember it verbatim right now-- is about writing for YOU! If you enjoy writing and it brings you happiness to get your words OUT THERE, so to speak--- DO IT!! I tossed the idea around for about a year myself, and I now have my own blog with very few followers at the moment, but I do it because I enjoy the act of writing and I was finally ready to get my words out in the cyber world! Best of luck!Ginger_Julie wrote: ↑29 Aug 2015, 21:36 I was wondering how beneficial blogging could be? As a writer, I would love to start a writing blog of one-shots, reviews, writing tips, favorite authors, etc. Anything a writer would appreciate. Just to get an opinion, is this something that I should start doing?
