A common question people ask is how can they write a blog when they do not consider themselves to be a writer.

We grow up admiring people who can write and we are educated to believe that writing is a special talent that few people have. It is true that if you want to write a masterpiece that will be remembered fondly in a few hundreds years time then you do need to have a significant talnt as a writer but if all you want to do is write a blog then you need not worry so much.

If you want to write a blog just get on and write it. Punctuation is not terribly important unless you are writing about English grammer. Spelling is only important if you are writing about spelling. Yes, we should all try to spell properly to make ourselves clear but most blogs will have a spelling checker built in or there are online spellcheck websites and most computers will have some sort of spellcheck program or word processor.

If you need a small quick word processor program I use an excellent little free program called Jarte which has the facility to spellcheck in different languages amongst many other features but it is quick and simple to use to write an earticle before you publish it on your blog. Find it here... Jarte There is a Pro version available for a fee but I have never tried that as for me the simple free version does all I need.

So, you want to write but are still unsure? What do you do when you get together with friends or family? You talk, right? If you are telling them about something, you just tell them. Why should writing be any different to that. The answer is it can be exactly like that. If you write an article as if you were talking to someone and explaining something, you won't go too far wrong.

It actually makes articles more easy to read and enjoyable if you write as you would talk if the person was there with you. It makes your blog feel more relaxed, friendly and approachable.

Some of bloggers are well known for poor spelling but many don't even bother to use a spellcheck when they have one. They feel it is more honest and natural if you read the words exactly as originally typed.

If you feel you have something worthwhile to say then just say it. Don't go worrying about getting it perfect. Most people who visit your blog to read it will now be worrying about it being grammatically perfect so just get on and write the article you have in your head.
