Thanks thanks thanks! I was looking for something along the lines of this (baseballs) for hours and couldn’t find it. Also, I’m thinking, I’m thinking I might get my kids

I am new to the blogosphere, but I have a background in sportswriting. Although I love the big 5 (baseball, basketball, football, hockey and college), I have a feeling I am going to end up focusing on baseball and hockey (my personal favorites), but only time will tell. Let’s hope I can keep this going and not end up another one of those “dead” blogs. :)

Firstly a HUGE apology for the link not working,I don’t know what happen there, sorry!

Thank you so so much for all of your lovely comments!
I LOVE what I do, it’s nice to know that we all go through similar things when we blog.

To Lydia, Clueless Crafter- I blog everyday however it I didn’t feel strongly about a particular post then I will never post just for the sake of it. Thankfully touch wood, I always find topics to write about because I am passionate about oodles of things.

I wish you all well and much success!

Renee – you’re so right – finding your voice is the most important factor in getting blogging right – and being able to maintain it – I tried 2 other blogs before I hit on the formulae I have on my current blog – which is here to stay – because it is me, not me trying to be like some other blogger.

Passion. The quality needed to pesist amidst all appearances that what you’re doing ‘isn’t working.’

From my experience I’ve learned that the more frequently you blog from the heart, the happier you’ll be, and the more success comes your way. That is the “be” which you speak of Renee. The inner voice that when listened to provides the most happiness and success.

Each person has a different reason as to why they start a blog, but these motives change. Like you, I’ve decided to pay more attention to the inner whispers and ignore the logical way to do things. It’s tremendously freeing.

It’s important to have knowledge in your chosen field but when you have Real Passion, people will find you. Everything falls into place. You’ll acquire the knowledge and whatever tools you need along the way. It all starts with the inner fire.

Thanks for this post. This reiterates the truth that we are human beings not human “doings.” Our blogs then should express our being and not our doing.

BraQueen, I’m not sure when you said that you want to be “consistent” and write everyday, but in the next line you talked about blogs you “once loved” that post everyday.

Do you think it’s good or bad to write every day? Could I be alienating subscribers by not being there for them?

I am new, but working effortlessly! I am really enjoying it, but right now not able to commit to writing every single day. I feel that sometimes I want my last post to have a moment and a possibility to linger. I also am finding my way through the atmosphere of blogging.

“I didn’t get much satisfaction from it because I was always thinking of the business name and my business partner and I was representing all three. I was holding back and wasn’t being true to myself or my personal opinions, I was playing it safe.” Thanks for this nice post.

I know for me the biggest hurdle in blogging was finding my voice. It’s often really hard to break free our social voice and our gaurded selves and allow our words to pour freely. For me the catalyst was writing for a few community projects I felt strongly about and from their as my confidence grew I found I needed to to check my writing against my conscience less and less often.

It really seems to be an echoing sentiment – the need to be transparent and sincere to maintain the connections you make with your readers.

Perhaps the reasons for people losing their drive and passion are not always in their control?

Congratulations on finding and maintaining your passion Renee!

Ya, finding my voice, and just learning how to write what is true for me is really taking the pressure off of writing for me. I also think it will help the blog be more successful. In a way, trying too hard can cause a lot of problems.
