Five Ways You Should Never Start a Blog Post
We’re all guilty of it time to time, but let this serve as a reminder beating you over the head next time you try to open a blog post with one of these:
“I don’t really know much about this, but. . .”
“I haven’t read both sides of the story, but. . .”
“I’m sorry I haven’t blogged in a long time, so here’s my attempt. . .”
“I don’t feel like writing, but. . .”
“No one reads this thing, so I don’t know why I bother. . .”
The important thing to note here is not that you shouldn’t use these phrases, but to never actually mean them. Even if you side step saying it out loud, it will be apparent by the result. If you feel this way, don’t do it. Find a solution first. Then go back and write.
How do you handle when blogging begins to feel like a chore?
