Day 7 - Blogging Quirks
- I use the words "so" and "really" a lot. That's how I tend to talk, and it comes across in my writing too. I sometimes make the effort to not use them so much, or I'll even go back and edit them out once I've finished the post.
- I feel super guilty if more than one day goes by without posting in my blog... which means I feel guilty all the time. I'm trying to get over this, because honestly, no one wants to read a crappy post that I just threw together in order to avoid feeling guilty.
- Procrastination and I have this love-hate relationship when it comes to review posts. Sometimes I'll put off reviewing a book, and then I don't remember everything I liked or disliked about it. And that ends up leading to a short, rather blah review. But sometimes, I just don't care.
- I had to change my rating system because my original one was too confusing. So now I rate things on a scale of 1 to 5 cupcakes.... yes, cupcakes. Why? Because besides reading, I love to bake. Especially cupcakes.
- I used to hate coming up with a title for every post, but now I don't have a problem with it. When I first started blogging, I felt like I needed to come up with a witty title for each post, and that just got old. Then, I stopped using titles altogether, which actually made things more difficult. Now I'm back to giving my posts titles, but they're all generic ones like "Book Review...".
- Recently, I've started discussing what I'm going to write in my reviews with my coworker. And as I'm talking to him, occasionally my rating will change the more I talk about it, as I realize that there were more flaws or more awesome things than I originally thought.
And that's it. Or at least, those are all the ones I can think of. Do you have any blogging quirks?
