The first thing to do when writing a blog, obviously, is to find a topic that you want to write about. This is surprisingly harder than I imagined, because out of all the gazillions of things in this world, finding one single thing to write about is a lot freakin’ harder than I imagined it to be. Endless possibilities float through one’s head, but choosing one that grabs you and inspires you to write is a task. I find it easier to write down all the thoughts I think I could write on, pick the one(s) that has impacted one’s life significantly, for better or worse, write it down on a piece of paper, and start from there.
After that, coming up with points for the blog that hit home and are important to telling the story the way you want people to receive it. This can be difficult, in a sense of the amount of points required. Whether there is too much information to fit in to the allotted space, or not enough information to fill the blog. It all depends on the limit, but if I can’t find enough to get the blog done, I cuss a little, scratch it off and start over with another topic. Come to think of it, I think I should have put this blog in the things I hate blog, because it’s a stupid blog, about blogging, and how stupid it is. The moral of this paragraph; read paragraph one carefully so you don’t end up restarting your blog by paragraph two.
Assuming that one has solid enough points on the topic, its time for the best part; expanding! Note the severe sarcasm used. Expanding on your points is basically writing the actual blog. This can be time consuming, frustrating and difficult. Taking the points that one comes up with, and expanding each one, usually in separate paragraphs. Doing this without too much padding, that is, filling it with complete garbage to make the story seem more intelligent, or without enough wording or content, is the real challenge. It helps to do a lot of research and preparation for this area, and use the info gathered to make the blog more interesting. Making the blog interesting is key, so make sure that it is! 1 in 6 people around the world blog, how many of those do you think suck? Moral of this paragraph; No body likes it when you talk, if you aren’t interesting.
To conclude this blog, I just want to say that I had fun writing this blog, about blogs. The process is tedious and it can piss me off, but after finding my topics, and out of those topics finding one topic, creating points that aren’t pointless, and finally going into detail on these points, it’s a process that is worth it, and I hope I don’t have to blog for class or any other ever again.Spellcheck -_-
