Writing a Blog People will Read: A course review, Part 1

May 18, 2015

As I mentioned some time ago, I’m an affiliate of Donna Freedman’s new course (check it out if you’re interested in writing) and I decided to put my money where my mouth is. Or fingers are.

Of course, no new experience, especially for self improvement, should go unblogged, given the particular bent of this blog.  Come along for the ride and maybe you’ll find a reason give it a try yourself.

I’m coming to this course as an already established blogger who probably isn’t going to quit anytime soon so Module 1, addressing the “why” of blogging is more of a reminder that stories have value, and writing stories well makes them more accessible.

There are hundreds, thousands, of blogs out there but I struggle to find consistently well-written, unique, compelling blogs. I love reading, even more than I love writing, and finding a fresh authorial voice with stories to tell is like finding That Exact Spot on the puppy’s belly that, when scratched, melts the furry marvel into a limp-limbed puddle, cross-eyed with satisfaction. In other words: bliss.

Maybe that’s why I think this course can be such a boon. So many people have tales to tell and selfishly, I want to read  them. And I don’t think I’m alone in that desire!

Aside from that purely selfish point of view, while not everyone’s job requires any amount of writing that matters, some of us do. Having that knack in your toolbox lets you present yourself, your ideas, and proposals to the best advantage. Another way to get your way? Why not!

Sharing is caring!
