Back with a Vengeance!
I am extreme happy to be back at WA. What do I mean by "back"? Let's just say that I have not done very well with this membership. I originally joined around 6 years ago. Wow! With that much time I should probably be one of the leaders of WA. Not so fast. During that 6 years or so I have probably quit and resubscribed about 4 or 5 times. What's going on here? Why would I do this? Let's see, there are several reasons bur only a few that really mean anything.
One of the reasons is FEAR. You could probably throw in laziness somewhere. But fear is the big one. So, what is this fear? Mostly, I think it is fear of providing good quality content. Everyone knows that in order to be successful at blogging you need to provide good quality and unique content. And you need to provide this on a regular basis - preferable daily. I was never confident about my writing ability, so I knew it would be hard to do this. I guess that could be the laziness part as well.
So, what, if anything, has changed my attitude about writing? Not really that much. I just realized that all I have to do is what I am doing now. Just put down on paper what I feel and what I know. In other words - just start writing. The only problem is when I do this, I sometimes find that I don't know when to stop. It justs keeps flowing. Hopefully not rambling.
Anyway, as the title says, I am back with a vengeance. I know what WA can do for me and I am going to take full advantage of it - and not QUIT!

Just a note to you about how I do it. Take it or leave it but I go by word count. I get up to 1,000 words and then write toward ending it in 500 words. Then I do a conclusion or "final thoughts" with about 200 to 300 words. Rambling happens to me all the time but I like it! Why? Because it gives me words to work with and I go over it and turn the rambling into more valid information. If I feel a post has too much rambling in it I'll wait 24 hours and "update" it. Anyway that's what I do and good luck to you! Just do it! Whatever you can find that works for you! I hope you are a leader and revenue maker here at WA soon. Much sooner than 6 years!
Good for you! Never give up. And the great thing about WA is you can ask for feedback on your website. Good constructive criticism is crucial to good content. As long as you post consistently you’ll get good traffic. I know you can do this. We believe in you.
Good Luck!
Welcome back and best wishes to you this time round. Hopefully you don't give up sgain, but keep going. You don't need to post every day. I'm a slow writer, and it takes me about a day to write 1,300 words. As long as you're consistent you'll be fine.☺
