Let’s Talk Bookish: Why Do You Blog?

Hello, happy Friday! I’m excited for today’s Let’s Talk Bookish topic, so let’s get into it.

Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly meme created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and is hosted by Rukky and Dani @ Literary Lion where we discuss various topics and share our opinions. This week’s topic is Why Do You Blog? (suggested by Rukky).

The simplest answer is that I blog because I love doing it. I haven’t been blogging for very long, but I enjoy writing posts and creating graphics and just everything about blogging I like. I mean, if you don’t like doing it, then why continue?

WHEN DID YOU FIRST START BLOGGING AND WHY?

Like I said, I haven’t been blogging for very long. I published my first blog post on December 22, 2020, so, actually, come to think of, it’s been exactly a month. I had been thinking about starting a blog for a while, but never got the chance to really look into it. I blog hopped for a little bit before, but seeing how it all worked before I decided to actually start creating mine. I wanted to a place to share my thoughts on reading and other creative arts, such as photography and writing. I thought other people’s blogs looked so cool and their content was interesting. I wanted to create some of my own, so I started Pages of Starlight.

WHAT KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED TO CONTINUE?

Well, besides the fact that I love doing it just for doing it, the people who come and read my blog are the ones who motivate me to continue. Knowing that they enjoy reading it helps me keep going and create new posts.

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT NOT BLOGGING ANYMORE?

No, I haven’t. Since I only started so recently, the thought hasn’t crossed my mind.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC PLANS FOR YOUR BLOG THIS YEAR, AND IF SO, WHAT ARE THEY?

I don’t really have any specific plans for my blog this year. I guess just making it more public and drawing more readers to it. Not a whole lot of people know that I started a blog, so I’d like to make it more known.
