    july is here

    July 2, 2021 /

    — July is here, the kids have winter break at school, I’m working from home, so we may spend some time in the country for a few days. And it’s inevitable, my brain starts thinking of lists for everything. So, let me share that with you. ▶︎ READING This month, for #BeardyReads, we decided to read REBECCA by Daphne Du Maurier. But first, we chose a genre for our month: classic thriller. And those in the group who already read REBECCA chose to read the other runner-ups: THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY, by Patricia Highsmith, and WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE, by Shirley Jackson. I’m reading all three. But…

    How do you wanna reach the world with your words on a blog?

    April 22, 2021 /

    The ability to reach the world with a blog is an opportunity generations of people would have killed to have. — Josh Spector I’m sticking to those tips by Josh Spector. I want to test myself using them as prompts, and I think that one resonates so much with how I started on Instagram and what my account became. But before I talk about it, I want to create a tag, so you can find these posts more accessible. So, whenever you want to check these posts, you’ll be able to find them now under a tag called josh’s tips. Now, I treat my Instagram account as a blog. If…

    Delete the first and last paragraphs of your blog post draft, and most likely, it will make it better

    April 19, 2021 /

    Dear reader, How long should a post be? 400? 1000 words? Or do you think that you need as many words as you need to convey an idea? Cutting what’s not essential is a great thing to do no matter how long your post will be. But here’s another tip I found on the internet, yet another tip I don’t necessarily agree with. The first and last paragraphs of my blog posts are actually the essential ones, and the ones I focus on more. I always have a beginning and an end in mind when I write. I start by giving you an idea and maybe a reason for you…

    No one is looking for a blog post to read

    April 12, 2021 /

    …but everyone is looking for a solution to a problem. There’s another quote by Josh Spector. Another wise one, by the way. Solving a problem in your content is a great thing you do to your audience. Sometimes (or most times) my blog posts and captions have sound like conversations. I like writing this way. But I try to solve a problem most of the time to be worth it of their reading. I don’t like technical problem-solution text exactly. I believe that even in a simple conversation, you may find a solution to a complex problem. And that’s what we’re looking for most of the time. Well, that’s not…

    You only have today to get value out of it

    April 8, 2021 /

    If what you write about is only relevant today, you only have today to get value out of it Josh Spector In my idea of stealing tips from the internet and write about them, I stumbled upon this valuable lesson from Josh Spector. And yea, I agree. I mean, you create content for your readers and followers to save and share, and it has to be something useful for one to five years from now. And I get it. Sometimes we have nothing to say, but the pressure to write something and hit the share button is constantly huge. It’s there every day. Post! Post! Post! Almost as if those…
