Wriging

I don't know if it is a bad thing, but when I read the title all I can think about was Tyme. She has no problem writing on emotion and I know a lot of the stuff she builds off of starts with emotion. When I have emotions take place behind a writing it depends on what type of reaction I'm aiming for whether or not I will be patient with it.

When you are talking about frustration though I can only imagine you are referring to the belief that since blogging is easy, success should come just as easily with it. The other side of the coin is that you can say you should be patient over and over again, but sometimes it just isn't working out no matter how patient you wish to be.

I find the biggest thing I need to be patient about is getting results. I love blogging, even if no one comments, but after a while I get frustrated.

You're right, if we just be patient and work hard at what we're doing, the results will come no matter if they're self gratification or comments from readers. It's hard to practice sometimes, though.

@Scrivs: Sometime that is indeed true. Just like when a boss has to tell a new empl that they are just not cut out for it. Certain times people need to tell themselves that.

To any blogger: Emotion is an awesome thing. When you have it, use it use it use it while its here.

Would you not agree however that there are other guaranteed ways to rech specific goals with blogging? I'll name a few: Stumbling people you read more and networking that way for backlinks, commenting more for the same reason -and for the sheep enjoyment of course-, post at least once a day, guestblog, make authority posts on your standard subject and getting friends to submit them to Social Medi ....

There are maybe 100 more ideas I can mention.

My point was not that emotionalism is bad, but you can't go long term on emotionalism as a writer or a blogger. I say, don't lose heart when you stats are where you want them and do the more explicit things that require time and patience like I listed and then some.

@katelyn: I have had every intention to sit down and show you some stuff like I had said I would I know but alas, my free-time has been nil. I might suggest this as a starter though:

Focus on one goal for one week. Also, look into automating everything as much as possible. Questions on that? Drop me an email.

One example might be to take those uri's who have linked to you most and make a notepad code with anchor text uri links. Then when you post, just copy/paste and integrate them in.

Too complicated? Go on a stumble safari and stumble the stuff from those folkd you really like. They will usually visit you as a result. If you're stuff is focused and interesting to them, they may become regulars.

There are lots of guaranteed ways to get traffic and backlinks, it just takes a lot of time a patience ;) Emotion is also an awesome thing. When you have it, use it use it use it while its here.

There are indeed guaranteed ways to draw people to your site, but those ways do not guarantee them coming back or enjoying the content. You can be emotional and write all day, but if the equation still ends up being horrible content there is no point.

It's all the little pieces of the puzzle that need to be put together and having that emotion in your writing is just one of them.

I am the worst typist the blogging world has ever known. 1,000 apologies.
