Aimchair BEA (Day 2): Blogger Development & Genre Fiction


So today's topic is about becoming a Better Blogger & Genre: Fiction.

I started off from having no idea whatsoever about blogging to actually typing in and adding some of my own ideas and creating contents. So how do I exactly stimulate such things? well it takes time,calm down,be patient,focus,think and it's ok if ever you don't have any idea(s) at the moment sooner or later such grand idea will hit as you dwell on it sometimes the things I didn't even thought I could do suddenly I can do it as I'm always like hey why not? JUST DO IT!(more on the stay positive,look at the bright side of things and being enthusiastic!).As time went by I learned a lot of things many thanks to books,the interwebs (small-big contributions) through lots of people who shared their knowledge,learning by means of following-discovering various websites and other sort of platforms out there [as I joined quite a lot of them that may (most of the time) inspires me]like Goodreads,Twitter,Tumblr,Youtube, blogaholic & bloglovin etc.The Power of Observation, yes! overtime eventually I noticed gradual changes on different people's blogs,POVs and contents they are posting like what makes them/it unique?how it attracts people,cover topics,hosting etc. and I usually tend to brainstorm,over analyze, organize,weigh pros and cons,try out old/new stuff,figure out stuff which works best for me is it convenient? or not.Also doing things that makes me happy.

Sometimes I like to shake things out a bit or be on hiatus once in a while chill and enjoy!There's not a lot of things happening where I'm at right now but I always try to partake to as many live events possible if there's any whether in real life or simply in a form of a google plus hangout or whatever.

I'm still learning a lot of things every single day and tried to remind myself some of the important stuff in which I might actually forget once in awhile (notes and drafts are always handy).As much as I'd like to monetize my account(s) I'd rather not for it usually suck the fun out of it (at least for me).I tried to collaborate with other folks like doing Author Interviews,giveaways,challenges, buddy reads,blog hops,doing things for the first time and stuff like that.It was really nice!I think my online personality somewhat improved as I tackle and touch various topics in order to convey my opinion,suggestion and different emotions.

Now about Genre: fiction I read all sorts of books though I usually tend to gravitate towards mystery,fantasy,manga and graphic novels but I'm pretty much open into trying something new.One thing I learned a lot so far and discovered more about is YA and different series from booktubers (people who make book related videos on youtube,checkout the link scroll down look at the subscriptions page,discover,watch and don't forget to subscribe!) they definitely encouraged me to read more,be more social,connect,meet people,be out there and be interactive though of course from time to time my book/choice(s) varies depends on my mood haha but it's all good!

So many wonderful things yet to discover!

  4. I am an optimist so I also often give the "stay enthusiastic" advice. Having a time out is good advice too. I like days like today where I comment and blog while still spend a few hours off to enjoy my physical life.

    Nice post!

  7. I like your "stay positive" attitude. That's definitely a key for me. I also like your tactic of observing! I find that really helps me as well. Great post!
