I started Write for Your Life just before Christmas in 2008, partly to learn the mechanics of WordPress for work purposes, partly to start building a platform for my own writing. And like many new bloggers, I read plenty of articles about blogging.
But the truth is, I ignored most of them. I didn’t post daily, for instance (barely once a month at one point). Instead, I tried to make sure that when I did write something, it was worth reading.
With a novel to edit and a full-time job to attend to, I relied on word of mouth and a little social networking to let the blog grow organically.
Well, today Write for Your Life reached the 1000 subscriber milestone. With a sexy new design in place and more time to provide quality content, I believe that this is just the start. Plus you never know. I might even try to make a few shillings from it. Imagine that.
