Some cruising blogs never talk about the bad stuff which can seem a bit misleading at times.

That makes me bring out the best. Add to it, I love pictures and I prefer using my own even when I am not writing my travel posts. Of course being regular is important and equally to engage with community. <br />When reading - I need to learn something. Like here, I read about your adventures and that is newness. I do not long very long posts until they are well narrated. :)Parulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933210393492294463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-61728639077676808602017-04-29T18:08:26.019-07:002017-04-29T18:08:26.019-07:00I love #2.

We all have our miserable days, which is normal to write about, but some bloggers can sure go on and on and create such miserable, venting posts that I'm in agony just reading a post.Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-68941054611527691602017-04-29T14:46:04.689-07:002017-04-29T14:46:04.689-07:00I've been in a blogging slump lately and this ...I've been in a blogging slump lately and this post was a great reminder . . . and motivator.

I still haven't figured out what the purpose of it is. I like writing but I haven't really written anything since high school, so I figured I might as well do it. <br /><br />It's hard to be original when there are so many people in the world. I'm not even trying, but I think your writing is original. I don't know what I look for in the blogs I read but I seem to get stuck on the ones that are well written and where beautiful words like "sailboat" and "ocean" are frequently mentioned.Compass Heading 180°http://www.kompassisuunta180.com/ennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-73802083016593277392017-04-28T18:37:31.519-07:002017-04-28T18:37:31.519-07:00That's a good list.

I, too, have a blog page (rather than a boat page) on FB and I've been amazed at how people find it and 'like' it. Why does that bring a certain level of satisfaction? I will never know the real answer to that question.

I know I couldn't live on our boat as you do. I love going for a couple of weeks and then come home and stretch out.<br /><br />Great blogging tips. I don't do most of them, but I'm a rule breaker like you are. That and I'm old enough to do what I want.<br /><br />Have a fabulous day and weekend. ☺Sandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785788498697004273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-28359926781137293172017-04-28T07:04:02.212-07:002017-04-28T07:04:02.212-07:00Your tips are great, and I really enjoy your posts...Your tips are great, and I really enjoy your posts because of your "talking voice" so you tick that box for me.
