If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished? <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nYou\u2019re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another \u2014 but it\u2019s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can\u2019t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a \u201ccrappy first draft\u201d.

These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is \u201czerotohero,\u201d so other new bloggers can find you, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
