Hi, I just started trying to blog (video games opinion and I suppose it could fall under reviewing as well) and I feel a bit overwhelmed thinking whether it feels “correct” or if it is missing something.
Currently it is just writing with pictures with it linked where I took it from on the title text option on the images and the publishing that.
Is there any sites or resources one can recommend for reading?
I am more than willing to read any advice anyone would like to share as this is still very new for me.
I am using Blogger, so if there is any tips anyone would like to share in regards to the platform, I am also willing to read those as well.
Consider creating a space to write without the worry of it being correct or finished so you can pull from that source for the things you want to revise or recognize or recreate into something “publishable”. This could be a blog on something like mataroa.blog or bear.blog or it could be a folder on your computer or a git repo or a physical notebook. Whatever works for you.
Thank you
I had a quick look on the links provided, it has good samples on both the links and I am assuming less bloat as well.
It also seems to have better usability and available features but I think I would need to be more knowledgable to make use of it all as there are things I am not familiar with.
However it is useful information and something I can look for further reading and to get ideas at improving
Those links were kinda irrelevant to the suggestion to have a separate space where you don’t worry about what you write or how you write it or if it makes sense.
I think I am doing something like that at the moment, I wrote a whole lot of ideas - just having a name and saved it as unpublished posts. I look at the list, select something and try writing about it - if it starts feeling like it is not working out I stop, save it and have it as an unfinished work for when I can have a better idea what to do with it.
It has been helping me with writing a topic and choosing one I enjoy writing about - I then publish what I find acceptable and then it works as a proof that I am doing something and can be adjusted at a later time, have works in progress that didn’t work out how I planned and then a whole list of ideas I can try work on so I have so I also have something to look at and work on.
Awesome! I think you’ll be surprised how your writing will mature.
Enjoy it!
