Most bloggers don't know how to do this. That's where this post comes in. Coaks: Time, curiosity and passion. The more you explore and connect with your favourite personal bloggers, the more you'll learn about developing your writing style. I picked up my writing style from 2 great personal bloggers. It allowed me to developed my style after 3 years of blogging. Don't give up. Rafaela: With freedom comes the wisdom to use it. Thanks for the kudos too. :) Gimly: No reason why you can't write a personal blog. The key in your case would be to blog because you want to. Not because you need to. Ankur: Thanks!! I was scared that it would not make sense to people. lllredlll: Pick simply anything that matters to you and write. That's what it's all about. Your writing style will develop over time. Don't over do it and let the word flow. Amethystlune: Thank you for taking your time to read then. :) Brian: Just so happens, that would the subject of my next "Personal Blogging Series" post. Titus2woman: Wow, thanks for the hugs as well. :) Pelf: No it isn't teasing. A lot of examples can be found at my blog especially when I write about my life. You're telling the readers what happened, but you're leaving it to their imagination to picture it. Back to saying "You're cold". I could simply write: <em>"Goosebumps rose over my skin as the night air blew across it. I shivered violently, silently wishing that I was in front of the heater that was always placed neatly under my seat at home."</em> Between saying I'm cold and saying all that. The second one lets you picture the event, much like a story does. That's what draws people to your writing as a personal blogger. It can be simple, but your words have power. Sbpoet: I'm glad it helps inspire you to continue. I'll be writing about this all throughout the month. Daniel: Thank you for reading. :)
