Disciplined Blogging
If I keep advising myself of the fact that the "hardest advice to follow is your own" it appears that I will be stuck in a never ending cycle. This is actually my bazillion-th attempt at starting up a blog and for one reason or another I begin losing interest and cease to post. I was always interested in becoming an active blogger but the motivation would always tend to fall off about a month later. Of course I can say "things will be different this time" but we can only see.
I love sharing my thoughts, but I find the greatest motivation killer is feeling like no one is reading what you're writing. If you allow yourself to believe that no one is reading, then you begin to fall into a habit of writing to yourself. Your blog no longer becomes a blog, but a personal diary if you treat it that way. For this reason, every entry you compose should be written with other people in mind. Think about what other people will get out of your writing as opposed to what you can get out of your own writing. That's what will ultimately make it interesting and build a following.
