Unearthing your passions…

Part of finding your blogging voice is unearthing your passions, hobbies, skill and likes. 

Right now, let’s go through an exercise of jotting down 10 items that fit the above - you can do more later, but let’s get 10 down for now so we have something to work with.  Go ahead and do that now before you continue.

This is a sample list that I came up with:

1. Babysitting
2. Repairing Bicycles
3. Riding Horses
4. Singing in the Choir
5. Programming Computers
6. Baking
7. Playing Piano
8. Weight Lifting
9. Scuba Diving
10. Talking with Friends

Why is it important to write about something you are passionate about?

Writing, like any task, can become mundane and stale after a time, even if you are making money at it.  If you are passionate about what you are writing about, then you are apt to keep it up, even when you may be tired.  You see, one of the elements of successful blogs is frequent and consistent posting.  The search engines love frequent contributions because people do.

For the duration of "Finding Your Blogging Voice" series, I am going to use babysitting as our blog theme.

Next time I will show you a way to figure out what the internet world wants to know about your chosen theme.

Till then…
