There are a lot of people who I know who think that blogging is just a walk in the park, is just a little thing on the side and doesn't take much time and thought.. think again people! Now this post is more for those who aren't bloggers themselves to get a bit of an insight...
Now I am not a massive blog, I'm relatively new to the whole thing and only have a small group of followers but believe me, it's a lot more frustrating (don't get me wrong it's also rewarding at the same time) than I first thought it was going to be.
1) Blogging takes up a lot of time, and I mean.. a LOT! It is very time consuming and in my free time I am just constantly going over blog ideas in my head. The amount of pieces of paper I have lying around my room with different ideas that I have gone over time and time again is unbelievable.
2) You're always going to have your critics. Not everyone likes what you write about, you can't please everyone and never will be able to. You just sort of have to shake off *insert Taylor Swift lyrics here* the criticisms.
3) Suffering with writers block. One of the main things with blogging is that you have to update your blog quite often to maintain interest but there are so many moments where I get write writers block and can't think of anything worthwhile so just end up rambling (like today) which is equally as rubbish.
4) You're always comparing yourself to other bigger better bloggers. Now whether this is about the content of the blog, their writing style, the way their site looks etc I always find myself getting down when I compare my sites to other people's who are so so successful in what they do. But in the grand scheme of things, I am a very recent blog and there is no way I am going to be anywhere near as good as those who have been doing it for years so mehhhh.
Overall, I love blogging and I am pretty proud of how far my little blog has come considering I started doing it as just a way to express myself, but knowing how many countries around the world my blog has reached makes my heart all warm and tingly :D So thank you to all my readers, especially those who are regulars. I love you all so much and thank you for making me a happy little blogger
