Do you have a good blogging story? We’d love to hear it.
A powerful post you just read on someone else’s blog. A switch to a new theme that finally made your site come together. A quote about writing that pushed you to draft your next post.
We all experience these “a-ha” moments, big and small, all the time. Why not share them with the community? We’d love to feature more of our readers’ insights here on The Daily Post, so we just introduced a page where you can share your blogging stories with us.
The page is accessible through our site’s main menu — just hover over Postaday and click on Submit: My Inspiration.
- A link to the last post that really moved and/or entertained you — with a few words on why you loved it so much.
- A quote about writing or blogging that you found particularly powerful.
- The story of your recent (or upcoming) blog makeover (whether in terms of design or content) — what prompted you to make a change? What did it (or will it) entail?
- Your advice and insight on how to encourage interaction and discussion as a blog host.
Don’t be shy — share your story.

For me it is usually something that I found funny, or moving… Then it gets me to thinking about something that may, or may not have happened in my life. My favorite posts are generally from Miss Jenny Lawson. She slays me: http://thebloggess.com/2014/11/i-started-writing-this-post-a-year-ago-and-i-still-dont-have-a-good-ending/

Having only started my blog last week, my writing bug is still wriggling! This morning I witnessed something that just made me want to write! So many things I could see that really stood out to me, things I wanted to share, thoughts I wanted to express. It’s those moments which really make me want to write.

People fascinate me enormously. I always been curious what makes them tick. It’s amazing how many stories one can find in everyday life by just listening and observing. Being part of the living is an endless source of literary (or any form of art) inspiration regardless of the genre. Me, I write mainly to vent, to exorcise some ghosts, to try to make peace with my past and to share my experiences in general.
I think my reasons for blogging are not suitable for inspiring others therefore I will refrain myself from submitting any entry, but I am very much interested in other people’s stories. Can hardly wait to read them.

There is never a golden day, only days that shine. There are, however, days when nothing in the world seems brilliant, or clever, or ordinary. My day can begin in several different ways. It can begin with me getting out of the proverbial wrong side of the bed, or it can begin with something incredibly wonderful, and following that, just disappear down the drain. Then there are those days that just have to be got through, like cutting through tough steak, trying to make it look tender for the sake of the hostess.
This is life, isn’t it? Days made up of tough meat, chewing and wondering if it will ever tender up enough to be got through. It’s hard to write a beautiful story on days like this, in fact it’s hard to write anything at all.
But the job of a writer, this writer anyway, is to write, and waiting ’round for some infusion of inspiration is a certain way for any writer to starve. So that’s why I’m here. To write.
That’s why God gave me this brain, these perceptions, this ability to see something different in everyday things. That’s why I must write. This computer stares back at me, and on the screen there’s a blank word document. It’s my job to fill it, and more than that it’s my job to fill it with something beautiful, or interesting, or worth drawing attention to. So what am I to write?
I don’t need a shack on the side of a mountain, a study overlooking the ocean, drugs, or alcohol, because nothing creates the imaginative juices easier than my wife telling me she loves me, or the way she looks at me, the sometimes hug, and the way she says my name makes my heart race.
I know I can write. My arm is well oiled, and the words will flow because of her; because even if words fail me I know she never will.

For me changing the layout of the actual blog and fully understanding how to insert pictures, set the menu layout and the tagging option made a huge difference in the way i wrote my blog .

I tend to just get inspired for blog posts based on the book or podcast I’ve been listening to. Though I did see a rather wonderful quote from Iggy Pop on Edward Gibbon and History a few weeks ago that I knew I just had to re-post.

I am a Healthy Gluten Free food blogger – and for me, it’s the comments from readers that makes me smile, and keeps me going. Knowing that i may have made an impact, in some form or another. I love reading real stories – not obviously made up fake stories to “sell” the blog post. You can totally see through them – honest, truthful stories and posts don’t need to be boasted. Its writing – it’s art, whether the story is interesting or not.

Had an “aha” moment today (though it’s not the one I’ll be sharing). I was so ridiculously stuck for a post, but needed to create something, that I retreated to my skill in playwriting to describe what I was going through. Not the most life changing scrap I’ve written, and will probably go unused, but it did the job in the mean time 🙂
(If you fancy a gander: http://laidigsbroadway.wordpress.com/2014/11/10/nash/)
Otherwise, I have an incoming blog revamp when time permits, primarily for career reasons, but also because of some upcoming photography and short film stuff I fancy testing out. Fingers crossed it all goes to plan! I only had that “aha” moment the other day.
