Where It All Started

     Two months ago, I was completely unaware of the book blogging community.  It was the middle of my summer vacation, and I wanted to do something productive that I could also enjoy.  Then, I had a crazy (or not so crazy it seems) idea!  Why don't I start a website?  Initially, I created Scripturient to act as a platform for my writing as I go on my personal journey toward becoming a published author.  However, it became so much more.  When I started following authors on Twitter, I stumbled upon a few book bloggers.  Intrigued, I clicked on their links and read a few posts.  That's when I knew book blogging was a challenge I was more than willing to take head on.  Ever since, I have worked tirelessly to establish a blog which provides quality YA book reviews as well as a place for teen readers, writers, and bloggers to share their thoughts without fear of judgement.  

My Advice For New Bloggers

     Starting a blog can be tricky as you try to figure out the perfect platform, target audience, and posting schedule.  My first piece of advice: don't try for perfect.  Perfection is an unattainable idea we all push ourselves toward.  It is okay to have flaws.  Do not worry about impressing others with a flawless blog.  Provide quality writing and images and the readers will come.  I promise.
     My second tip for all newbie bloggers: make a posting schedule.  Scheduling blog posts makes your life so much easier because it helps prevent burn out.  I typically have at least three drafts of posts saved so I have something to use if I experience temporary burnout or my personal schedule becomes overwhelming.  Even if you live a busy lifestyle, blogging is still doable.  You just have to plan carefully and stay organized.
