As I continue my journey taking blogging 101, my teachers tell me it is time to my writing cap back on. Today I start honing my blogging focus.
I am reminded I why I blog. I create posts or articles for other people to see, read, and even appreciate my work. Today’s assignment is to publish a post that my audience will read.
WordPress gave me the following assignment – “Today’s Assignment: publish a post you’d like your ideal audience member to read, and include a new-to-you element in it.”
Why would I want to do this?
- One great way to have focus is writing with a particular person in mind. It is an excellent way to focus both my thoughts and my goals for my blog.
- Mind expansion is a second reason for writing with my ideal audience in mind. Did you know that exploring new elements and post styles adds more tools to the storyteller’s toolbox. Yep, it does.
- Down with boredom! Publishing different types of posts and media create visual interest. It gets and keeps people reading.
I write to share my writing journey and to have a place to practice writing. Yes, I hope someone will read what I wrote. I confess I check the stats to see how many people read my blog. I also like to know where my readers live. I write thinking about the person who also is working on transitioning from day job to being a working writer.
I am sharing a video I made eighteen months ago showing my bedroom and home office. About the only thing that has changed is my desktop computer is now a mini-Mac, and I have a few more guitars. My rheumatoid arthritis has diminished my guitar picking skills.
