Q: What would you do over if you were to start your blog again from scratch?
I would definitely experiment with voice a little bit more. How I write posts on my blog now comes off as robotic, I feel, but that's also just how I write. I want to be able to put more emotion into my posts without sounding losing my own personal voice, but I'm finding that it's a lot easier said than done. But I'm trying!
Feel free to leave a comment or follow any way you please! (Twitter - Goodreads - RSS)
I know what you mean, but I think it really does take time to find your voice. Sometimes I reread a post and I think it sounds robotic too so I go back and add stuff in. I'm following you on twitter now =) Here's mine: http://harleybearbookblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/feature-follow-friday-10.html
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's what I've been telling myself. Thanks for the follow!
DeleteI think I'm still trying to find my voice and opinions. It is definitely easier said than done! I constantly worry I'm going to sound unprofessional in my reviews or will offend someone :/

It means a lot to me that you like my blog design, I've been feeling kind of fickle about it recently. You've reassured me! And thanks for the follow!
DeleteYeah, I had the same problems earlier on. It takes time to really feel comfortable writing book reviews and find a certain voice. I'm still having trouble probably. :)

Guess I'll just have to keep working at it. Thanks for following!
DeleteThat's a really good answer, and now that you've said it I'm wondering why I didn't think of that!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Grace, your design is lovely. Especially since I think us book bloggers can get tempted to cover everything with books, making everyone's blogs look similar! Your colours and design are really fresh though, I like it!

Thanks for the comment!
DeleteGood answer! I think my posts don't sound as great and professional as other bloggers, but they are "my" way of reviewing, and so think that is okay. I'm a new follower. If you have time, make sure to stop back by blog as I have some giveaways going on right now!

Yeah, it takes a while of blogging. Don't get discouraged, and thanks for following!
DeleteI know exactly what you mean! Someday I want to read a post of ine and be like "Yup. That's SO me!" I'm far from that right now, but I think I'll grow into it and develop my own voice with time and I'm sure so will you ;)
