My advice is to stay true to yourself and find others who seem similar to you.

I've just started blogging a month or so ago, and still don't have my flavour down pat. I have a VERY, VERY small number of followers (!!), but am finding just writing, even if only one person is reading, is helpful for my own sanity. It's fun! Although, yes, I struggle with trying to be original, writing a blog good enough to revisit... I mean, we're all strapped for time, right? Do we really want to spend it on a bad or *recycled* old blog!? <br /><br />This was a great post, so timely for me. Thank you, thank you!Allison P.http://www.minearehere.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16484482.post-40778245583122783232011-02-19T16:28:25.541-05:002011-02-19T16:28:25.541-05:00Good advice!

I say that it's just for me, but it is a thrill if I look at the stats and see there were a good number of hits. And I've only told one person I know (and I actually met her years ago through a mom's message board) that I have this blog, so I don't have the family and friends connection to lean on. At this point, I think it's better that people that don't know me/us read it, especially since I also blog about my wannabe rock star husband. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16484482.post-40675423814690059062011-02-18T22:33:11.564-05:002011-02-18T22:33:11.564-05:00This is really great advice : ) Blogging can defin...This is really great advice : ) Blogging can definitely be stressful if you let it get the best of you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874897254332872367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16484482.post-66971119220202624042011-02-18T22:15:48.520-05:002011-02-18T22:15:48.520-05:00I hear ya, sister!

All of this is TRUE TRUE TRUE. But I suspect almost every blogger goes through struggling with it as they try to find their place, their voice, their tribe.
