Being a blogger is not easy. Nobody said it was, but we don't know either until we check it on the meats themselves. We tell you tips that will make your life as a blogger more bearable and viable

Being a blogger is attitude and work. Being a blogger is, above all, a way of life.

To be, you have to keep some things in mind. Thus, I have proposed to compile the most useful tips that I have found so far and those that I would give to any friend or blogger friend. Some points more basic than others, each of them accompanied by a quote about the work of the writer to think and that we refresh some basic questions.

1. Read a lot

Of everything, in addition. Anything goes, as in love and war. And it comes from pearls.

Read and you will drive, don't read and you will be driven Santa Teresa de Jesús Tweet this

2. Write a lot

And keep a notepad or similar handy. Do not stick to a single medium: look for more, from social networks, to a piece of paper napkin from a bar.

I believe that to be a writer it is enough to have something to say, in your own or someone else's phrases. Pio Baroja Tweet this

3. Get naked

Without fear, tell everything you have to tell and help your readers gain something from reading you.

I write for the pleasure of contradicting and for the happiness of being alone against all Milan Kundera Tweet this

4. Make you think

Whatever you write about, make the one who reads you think. And it doesn't matter if I think just what you thought I was going to think, or something else. But think.

There are two kinds of great writers: thinkers and thinkers Joseph Roux Tweet this

5. Creativity

Muses often have a complicated agenda, it is best not to sit around waiting for them. Creativity is trained.

He who has imagination, how easily he takes a world out of nowhere Gustavo Adolfo Becker Tweet this

6. Place and time

Don't write in the same place all the time. Change it. The schedule too. If you haven't done it before, you may be surprised by the results of the experiment.

How writing is the closest thing to childbirth, I always write lying down Luis Vidales Tweet this

7. Don't be yourself

Be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide. It is an extended advice to be yourself in these parts, but we cannot always be ourselves . Either we reinvent ourselves every so often, or we have nothing to do, stagnating and dropping anchor never led any sailor to discover new lands. And so with everything.

What you write is what you think is the most Arabic proverb Tweet this

8. Have your own style

Yours, your treasure. You must have a good grip on it, that they read you and do not have to scroll to see who the post is from. Note: This point has nothing to do with the previous one: not being yourself is always perfectly compatible with being faithful to your own unique style.

My goal as a writer is to disappear into the voice of my story, to become that voice Michael Dorris Tweet this

9. Simplicity, thank you

Technicalities in moderation. Regarding the more colloquial words and expressions that we often use orally, the standard advice is to avoid them. My advice is that with (a certain) measure too, they can and should be used. I once heard someone say of another person, a blogger, whom we both knew: "The best thing about her is that when you read something of her it's like listening to her speak." This is the best of the signs.

Simple writing is as difficult as writing well Somerset Maugham Tweet this

10. Not everything is invented

Forget thinking it is. This only leads us to blockade or to think that we have nothing to contribute. We all have something to contribute.

The writer must go against the current if he wants to conquer territories to the imagination Antonio Soler Tweet this

11. Build your structure

Each post requires a certain way to be counted. We must be clear about it so that, when writing, it is easier for us to guide the story we tell.

The thing to say, say it Robert Graves Tweet this

12. Make sure you do before you write

Whether it's from your own experience, or the fruit of a serious documentation process, writing must be grounded in experience.

Experience is not what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you Aldous Huxley Tweet this

13. Time

We must assume that not all posts take us the same time. Sometimes we do take a stocking and it comes to agree that almost everyone wears the same times. Ideally, they should not, as it will mean that we get out of the usual process, and this is key.

Five minutes are enough to dream a lifetime, that's how relative time is Mario Benedetti Tweet this

14. Do not fall into the routine

Whatever happens, this is basic. There is no single type of post, there are many : change.

If you think adventure is dangerous, try the routine, it's deadly Paulo Coelho Tweet this

15. The size is (exactly) the same

That is, it does not, but let's be consistent. If a topic deserves it, we must extend ourselves (the sky as the limit) and if not, no. There is no more science in this.

And ... if I have written this long letter, it has been because I have not had time to shorten it. Blas Pascal Tweet this

16. It is not necessary to always start at the beginning

Starts anywhere: end included.

When I'm ready to start writing a book, I start at the end Marcia Davenport Tweet this

17. Corrections yes, but later

Always a posteriori. As we write they do not contribute anything positive.

Corrections made during the creation process are usually excuses for not moving forward John Steinbeck Tweet this

18. Don't be obsessed with visits

This is important but everything comes, if you live by and for visits, then you have a focus problem. Let me explain, they should be practically in parallel with the rest in importance, but the first thing is something less tangible and that has more to do with enthusiasm, passion, and everything that you add to the seasoning of writing on your blog.

The truth is that writing is the deepest pleasure, being read is only a superficial pleasure Virginia Woolf Tweet this

19. Assume that success is relative

Today you can be above and tomorrow below and so on constantly. The only essential thing on this Ferris wheel trip is to be constant in all positions.

The defeat has something positive, is never final. On the other hand, victory has something negative, it is never final José Saramago Tweet this
