Ever notice the differences in writing from one blog author to another? Are they informal, creative, literal, dramatized, structured, outside the standard method of documentation otherwise known as APA format?
As an author, have you asked yourself what writing style is suitable for blogging and appeals to readers most? It’s a great question to ponder especially if you haven’t established your own personal style of writing yet.
It’s a Tuesday and something about today is special but I can’t remember what! I know it was supposed to be a Tuesday unlike any other, but I can’t remember why. It’s weird. You know that feeling I’m talking about? Like you had something important to say, but you can’t remember what. It’s really rather frustrating. I just know I’m forgetting something…. Wait, I think it’s coming back to me. It’s on the tip of my tongue I swear!
Today I’m writing to you from Cape Cod, MA. I’m outside on a picnic table looking out onto the gorgeous ocean! Alivia and my sister are playing frisbee to my right. There are some gorgeous sailboats to my left that I’ve been trying hard not to hijack. The seagulls are flying over head and the breeze is just what the doctor ordered! Have I painted you a picture or what? I could go on forever about my fabulous 3 day vacation but there will be plenty of time next week for me to fill you in and share some great pictures. With that said, what I really want to know is: Are you guys ready? It’s that time again. Time to P A R T A Y and, this week, enter your chance to WIN some amazing things!
Before I leave you to the party, however, this is just a reminder there is still time to sign up for the Pinterest Incentive Program! Spots are going fast and I only have room for a few more people! I hope you’ll consider joining us!
I know in blogging, taking programs, applications, widgets, etc. for granted is easy to do. I know with me, my main focus is getting the task at hand completed. Whether it be wrapping up a post, running an analytical report, rolling out a blog hop, setting up ad spots, creating a giveaway, updating my blog design, etc., the most important thing is to get it done in a timely fashion ‘cause, let’s face it, there’s always more to do! Today, I’d like to take a step back, take a breather, and remember the tools I currently use that help me tremendously with the various aspects of blogging. Sometimes I have to remind myself that these tools are what makes it all come together; what makes me be able to present to you Cropped Stories!
Just when I think I don’t have a topic to blog about, it hits me like a ton of bricks. Just because I know of the existence of these blogging tools doesn’t mean everyone does. And why shouldn’t you know about them? If it’s going to make your life easier, than I’m going to share them with you!
If you can believe it, this post has been sitting in my drafts folder for at least a month. It’s a good thing I checked it! I’d hate to deprive you all of the adorableness! I love these pictures of Livi in her room. I took them the same day I photographed her BIG girl bed. If you missed this post, feel free to check it out!
