Write like no one is going to read it, except the one person that you are really writing to (almost all of my posts come from somewhere… either my husband reminding me of something or my kids, etc… write to them).
Write like you want to pour your heart out.
Write when you are inspired! I find that I write the best when I write at night. I am a little exhausted (to say the least… raising our 4 blessings that are ages 7, 6, 3 & 1) and I am a little emotional at night, after I check on them and see them sound asleep & safe in their beds.
I have tried to write first thing in the morning, but that doesn’t work for my writing style. I can’t really “pour my heart out” that early! lol.
Let your readers see YOU!
I often struggle with this aspect. It is hard for me to share my stories, mostly because I don’t want to bore anyone and I don’t want to be judged. However; I do find that when I do share my heart, my readers respond with such sweet comments that it inspires me to do it again.
Today I want to encourage you to write from your heart… let it all pour out (& then go back & edit it later!) Write like no one is judging you!
I came across the post as I was looking through your blog–which I found via SITS today and have been reading through it for a while now.
I constantly feel like I censor myself. My stories are boring compared to others I see on other sites, I may offend someone, or I may be judged.
The self doubt has really gotten in my way, but your post motivates me to get organized and try to keep going in spite of the fear and not stop because of it.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
