Why I want to blog

I like writing creative non-fiction. It gives me a chance to reflect on my life and put things into perspective, while maybe even touching someone else who reads it. Blogging is an opportunity to do that two or three times a week, with writing built around a particular theme, and in a medium that may even build my credentials as a writer should others get to know my blog, like it, and recommend it to others.

I am hoping the Blogging 101 course will teach me the fundamentals as well as the more sophisticated points of blogging so that I can launch into the blogosphere well-prepared with professional training. That way, the learning curve won't be as great, painful, or arduous.

I am also hoping that the course will help move me nearer to my goal of being a social media writing consultant for NGOs or non-profits whose work I may be interested in. Right now, I work as an editor, editing research papers about 20 to 30 hours a week for a major company. Writing for social media seems a wonderful outlet for my creative writing skills, after spending many hours each week improving other people's writing.

So, yes, that is why I want to blog. It's a chance to express myself as a writer, perhaps grow my reputation, and even gain me a new profession in the world of media and publishing.

Hmm...

Blogging is totally new to me, I have no idea how to blog. I'm taking this course to help me to develop better writing and communication skills. Once I learn and hopefully master this skill, I hope to use it to blog about my daily adventures in life.

Blogging Journey

I have heard and read about blogs. I have even browsed a few blogs.

I have read expressions like"Wordpress" and "Blogger". I gained this acquaintance because of my interest in making money online.

But I have never put up a blog nor made a post in one. This is my first time of doing so. And am I excited! From now on, I will study blogging and blogging skills and techniques so that I can use blogs as a part of my communications mix for my internet marketing.

I'm relying on this course to get me started, support me all the way.

It's just me.

Hello I've been blogging for about five years now on a few different sites.I've wrote on many different subjects but i really enjoy writing about children and their causes.I'm looking forward to learn all I can so I can become a better writer.
