I love my blog, and a few others have told me they love it too. <br /><br />It's for writers and about writing, but it also includes other things that interest me, mainly music and my life here in Japan. <br /><br />I have a couple suggestions for bloggers, is to keep a blog notebook, and jot down topics or concepts to explore. On a slow day, when you can't think of anythign else, you can use one of these. <br /><br />Also, you can theme a few of the days of the week. I have themes for all 5 week days. If you're interested in Japan stuff, Friday's for you. Music, Tuesdays. Writing is on Wednesday, but the rest of the week tends to be writing related anyhow. I also suggest not tying yourself to this too tightly, because when you have something to say that doesn't fit any of your themes, you still need a day to say it!Claire Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354840714847021685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-20343962160958257532010-07-17T13:46:43.591-07:002010-07-17T13:46:43.591-07:00Soooo coool!

In my "real" life I'm funny. On my blog, not so much. I would love to just be me on my blog, but my sense of humor, is well,a little off the wall. I'm afraid I'll scare people away:) So my blog post turn out to be, as you said, boring. *sigh* It's hard to find a happy medium when you have a twisted sense of humor and an extreme case of potty mouth lol.Kimberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539376571906937798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-21880337380721562362010-07-16T19:25:44.954-07:002010-07-16T19:25:44.954-07:00So much awesome.

I'm just gonna write what I want."<br /><br />I don't think that's the best attitude to have ALL the time, but it's certainly good for those paralyzing moments.<br /><br />And the ninjas Nick sent helped too.

But I was referring more to audience in general—like a mass of strangers with a common interest. If you are looking to expand in that way—you have to think more of their wants than your own.<br /><br />If your goal is to build that camaraderie of friends—a very noble goal and one I have myself—then general audience doesn't need to be as much a consideration.Natalie Whipplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978251567306345129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-11958748413125407762010-07-16T09:27:41.412-07:002010-07-16T09:27:41.412-07:00unless you're legitimately famous, no one'...<i>unless you're legitimately famous, no one's coming to your blog for YOU</i><br /><br />I'm not sure about that one. Many of the blogs I visit are people who have become my friends online. I may enjoy their posts but mostly it's the feeling of connecting with <i>them</i> that I like. And people comment on some of my very ordinary posts and it looks to me like it's out of sheer friendship. <br /><br />I think your best-ever advice is<br /><br /><i>it's not about making people like you—it's about finding the people who naturally do</i>!fairyhedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141089706966852951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-29572959880228934062010-07-16T09:12:14.754-07:002010-07-16T09:12:14.754-07:00Hey, Natalie! :)
