Blogger: someone who maintains an online blog. Hey, that’s me! Are you a fellow blogger and looking to understand your art of blogging? Are you hoping to share your passion for blogging?

Hi everyone, welcome back to Ashley Spills. Ashley, here. You can check out my other posts here.

My recent post was all about motive: thy why behind your actions.

Blogging and my why

I love to write and I’m more confident with my voice behind a screen. You heard it here first ladies (and gentlemen): I blog to share what I want to talk about (except I write it) without a filter or physical audience.

Writing is so much easier than talking. I mean c’mon, bloggers basically say more when we write. Us bloggers are able to curate our thoughts until they’re perfect (for the most part, sometimes I just click Publish to get it out into the world).

Friendly reminder: it’s okay to repurpose your old posts!

What blogging means to me

Blogging means the world to me because it pushes me to write without so much pressure. There is some pressure though: to post regularly, to grow your audience, and to collaborate with other bloggers. Though, this pressure is minimal compared to the pressure I felt writing for my classes in college and having to talk to my classmates.

I actually like the pressure of blogging. I love the chase—it’s thrilling.

Writing for my blog lets me feel unrestricted and like I have my own little stage in this massive world. As a person with stage fright, I have practiced the art of letting go and being myself on this blog, on my stage. It’s nice to have an audience that cares about my interests.

Collaborating with other bloggers

After over a year of blogging, I’ve decided to kick it up a notch and find my own blogging inspiration by becoming more collaborative in the blogging community. I am excited to announce that my next Sunday post (February 20th) will feature a blogger—Ashley Spills’s very first blog feature *key the dance music*!

I’m stoked. You’re just going to have to tune in to find out who it is. What are they going to share? What are they going to write about? To be honest, I don’t know. I am leaving that up to the blogger.

Going forth I am hoping to have a blog feature once a month. If you are interested, please send me a message on facebook at @Ashley.Spills.Blog or email me at ashley@ashley-spills.com. If you just think want to talk, message me and we can do just that!

I officially have my first blogging friend and I’m excited to have found her ❤️

Blogging: Why bloggers should stick together

Because we are the only ones who actually understand each other. No one I know (personally) blogs! So, staying in close contact with the blogging community is something I am striving for in 2022. WHAT IS UP BLOGGERS OF THE WORLD? I’m so sorry it took me so long to get here!

Will all the real bloggers PLEASE STAND UP?

Conclusion

Whatever your hobby is, find your community. Share you passion. Grow your friendships. Meet people around the world!

Thanks for reading, xo.
