And I have to credit all of this to Humans of New York. I am using that blog as an example and guideline as to how my blog should be.

Yeah, it's filled with positive little nuggets of wisdom, but it doesn't have something that connects each post. I think it has given me an idea in the direction I want to take my blog.

In class, an audience was mentioned as people who are like who we are as a blogger, but not many people are like me. I don't mean that to sound conceited or that I'm special. I mean it in that my blog is not focused. I know plenty of people who share aspects of myself, and I'm wondering if I may need to angle my writing to those people.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657473311725387783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537331457579262948.post-49167229638855819152015-09-22T11:24:34.516-07:002015-09-22T11:24:34.516-07:00I'm not very good at explaining in detail what...I'm not very good at explaining in detail what I am blogging about and plan on making better use of pictures and fonts to better my story.
