I just attended a zoom call with area children’s writers and illustrators to discuss blogging. When I’d first heard about the call, I didn’t think I wanted to attend because I’m not a typical writer-blogger. I don’t only blog about children’s writing and children’s books. I blog for me, about whatever strikes my fancy. I didn’t think I’d have anything to offer the discussion, but at the last moment decided to attend.
I’m glad I did. Because while there are many different approaches to blogging –sites, content, focus, etc.–there is no right or wrong way to blog. As I shared in a breakout room discussion, the only way to blog “incorrectly” is to stress about the blogging. My philosophy is that if it’s not enjoyable, why bother?

For instance, I happen to (among many other things) enjoy goats. They never fail to bring a smile. So this right here? This is an example of a successful blog post.

You are very kind, thank you! I also think you’re cool, in large part because you publish what you want/like so your blog feels authentic. 🙂

Yeah, there are many things that come from enjoying the process rather than the result. Of course, our intent needs to be solid before we start off on this journey, because if we blog just to earn money, then we’ll definitely give it up before we truly take off. Anyway, thanks for this post!

True, that. If I was thinking about blogging in terms of money, it would be zero fun for me. Thanks much for stopping by, Stuart.
