Styles: Finding Your Blog Voice

I started blogging about a year ago. It has been an interesting learning experience. Finding my own blogging voice has been difficult and frustrating for me.

I've experimented with templates and widgets and gadgets. I guess I like change more than I like writing. My artistic inclinations take over and I'd rather use my right brain. Writing is a left brain activity, one I'm not very good at--but I'm learning to express myself.

Most days I'd rather just read other blogs than write my own. Most days I don't have anything important to say, but I have important things to hear.

The VOICES of other many bloggers are clear, unique and compelling. My voice is weak and insecure. Rather silly really.

Other voices I hear each day inspire my creative heart such as My Only Photo, Coloring Outside the Lines and Photography by Leedra.

Soaring Impulses stirs and moves me. Kerith always makes me laugh, even about vomiting!

All these blogs make me want to be a better person.

I believe that's what blogging is about--improving and enhancing your life--through expressing that INNER voice.

This is what I'm seeking.
