Friday Feelings

Hey!

So, today I come to the end of my first week of blogging, and thought it would only be fitting to give a little run down on what I've learnt so far!

1. Writing everyday and making sure it makes sense is HARD...it's a bit like the dreaded last term of University (still catching up on sleep til this day!)...but, the big difference is, I'm writing what I want, when I want, and don't have to write essays on things I'll never need or understand!

2. Write for YOU, and only you! Don't worry whether people like what your writing, or people are reading what your writing. Just write because you enjoy it! It is so nice to be able to write about candles, clothing and cups of tea...just because I can...it's like talking to a friend, knowing they're not even listening, but you don't care...you can just go on, and on, and on!

3. Write the word 'definately' over and over and OVER again, and you'll STILL spell it wrong. By the way, it's definitely...it's just one of those words!

4. Write what you feel! Reviews and feelings don't have to be all positive...no-one is like that in real life! If you don't like something, say. If you prefer other products, say. If you don't agree with other bloggers opinions, say! (But in a respectful and diplomatic way, of course.)

5. Write genuinely! Be who you are! Let your personality shine through. I know this is hard, and I'm still getting to grips with it, but nobody likes a carbon copy of someone else! People will love you for you, your quirks, the love you give and the life you have walked!

6. Who cares if nobody follows you on twitter, bloglovin or instagram? People will either read your blog posts or they won't! Don't beat yourself up about it, don't get obsessed with followers and figures and numbers...be you, write passionately and from the heart, and the rest will follow! Do it for you!

So, there we have it, my first week of blogging done. I'm really glad I decided to give it a go, and am so excited for the weeks to come!

What's the one tip you'd give someone just starting out? I'd love to know, I'm still a novice and need all the help I can get! Let's share the love and help each other :)
