BLOGGING IS HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's so hard to find something to tell you guys that is new, interesting and creative. It's an awkward, toilsome, process that requires you to utilize all your imaginative processes, your memories of stuff you've done and experiences that you've had you think that your readers (and yourself) might find interesting.
Many people, including me before I started blogging, seem to believe that blogging is just this magical thing that just happens if you sit at a key board and type all sorts of rubbish. I mean, yes, you can do that, but that's not how good stories and blogs come to be. They happen through experience, hard work, and devotion. Three elements many people lack very much of.
You first have to find a topic to talk about... This, my friends, is where I personally struggle the most! Like I stated before, it's difficult to find stuff to write about that I think will interest you guys that is at least even the tiniest bit original.
Then, you have the actually writing process. Writing just starts as you just writing whatever pops in your head (that also has to do with your topic). You don't pay attention to spelling, grammar, and organization. This step is called a "first draft". More often than not, your first draft is complete rambling and your spelling and grammar is all over the place. There is almost no point to your writing. It's just flat out disastrous and messy... like your room after Christmas... No order to it: clothes, presents and lots of other rubbish claiming your living space.
Well, just like your room, you gotta clean that hot mess up. Yes, it'll probably be a long, painstaking process that'll take forever and a day. BUT it's worth it. Take my word on this. Yes, editing and revising over and over again is a pain in the grass but, when your finished, you have an awesome story/blog/script, whatever you might be writing.
