Blogging or thinking about blogging?
I published my first post on Bear on February 16, 2023. Since then, there have been close to 500 more.
I’ve never had a specific theme or direction for my blog. I’ve just written about things that interest me or thoughts I wanted to get out of my mind.
Many of the posts circle around blogging and writing, since it’s something I truly enjoy. But it has never been part of any kind of strategy, just a natural development.
It’s easy to get stuck in thoughts like “what should my blog be about” or “who is my audience”.
Polishing a detailed master plan. A folder filled with ideas for blog names, slogans, topics, a thoughtful structure, an impeccable about page... and not a single blog post.
Don’t get stuck doing that. Don’t try to “figure it all out” beforehand. You can’t.
The only real way is to start blogging and figure things out along the way. Chances are you’ll end up with something that a myriad of mind maps never could give birth to.
And most importantly, it’s more fun blogging than thinking about blogging.
