The jewels I got out of this brilliant post were simply be yourself! Many of us are so freaking afraid of the man inside we do everything to stifle the genius that dude has!

Be yourself and speak in a tone that make people thing you have known then for years. I have struggle with this aspect on my blog for a minute, every time I try to “tame” myself the results are the same.

Less traffic, fewer comments and thus lower sales. So if I was born a bad ass I need to roll with it. It is what is is.

Thanks Dude!

Everyone is a unique character.branding really does work
I think I’ve found the me that works in writing, but the dangerous urge to be more than I am still creeps in and ruins “me.”

Everyone is a unique character. You should build yourself from within. Then, you will shine no matter where and when. Then, you become the center of attention at least at some circle.

In a nutshell, you should be able to shine from inside and this emerges when you take the hard way of experiencing the difficult tasks, taking tough challenges and jump in the middle of fire to gain what you tin you deserve or prove your point.

Thanks, Josh…I love your post:) I only started blogging a couple of months ago and have a new bounce in my step for the efforts. However, I’ve had a lingering concern about my “pot luck of blog content”…a narrow focus is so much easier to market, but I have varied interests and want to write about varied interests. Your words remind me of my baseline: even if I don’t find a way to make a living by writing, even if I don’t become geographically independent, I am connecting with a community I enjoy, letting their words inspire my journey and (hopefully) inspiring others on theirs.

I’ll be adding you to my RSS feed…thanks again for the (indirect) encouragement!

This article really hits home with me because even though many of the probloggers obviously know what they are doing, we lesser-known, but aspiring bloggers need to stay true to our voice and the content we want to write.

The distractions of Twitter and the like can stifle the flow of content and if we do that, then we have no chance.

@Josh

That makes sense, forums can be a little… “consuming”. At one point I was writing more there then on my blog, not a bad thing but was time to re-focus.

And book deal… that’s bangin! Congrats, good luck with that.

@Josh: With the only difference that you have words instead of thoughts. Much better for a blogger

@Michelle: If you are happy with what you’re doing and you’re having a good time, don’t listen to ANYONE who tells you you’re doing something wrong.
