Okay… So now I’ve been blogging for a
while now I kind of have to stop trying to excuse the overall
humbly-jumbly-rambliness of my blog by telling people that ‘I’m new!’ and that
‘I’ll get the hand of it’! The fact of the matter is, I’m lazy. I’m rubbish at
properly proof reading my blogs and editing them into a more readable state,
I’m a terrible rambler and if I don’t get my act together quick then I’ll never
be a blogging superstar! Okay, I don’t actually care about fame, I just want my
blog to be a bit prettier. So here it comes, my Chinese New Year Blogging
Resolutions! (That’s a thing right?)

| The Perfect Excuse... |
1.
Short and Sweet
Every
Tuesday I essentially post a 1000 word unstoppable rant onto my blog and it has
come to my attention that that might be a little hard to swallow. I barely have
the attention span to sit down and read 1000 words on some book I’ve never
heard of, so why should I expect you guys to as well? I want to make my blog
more accessible and this I think is the first step. That’s not to say I’m
banning the epic Lord-Of-The-Rings-length post, I’m just going to try and trim!
2.
Structure
As
I said, I’m not good at editing my blogs and it’s time for that to change.
Perhaps not with discussion posts but I realize I don’t actually write many reviews
because it’s so hard to write an 1000 word review and keep it somewhat interesting. Most bloggers have an
easily-readable structure to their posts and those are the blogs I usually like
best, so I plan on making my thoughts and opinions a little more structured
too!
3.
Routine
If
you haven’t worked it out, I post a new blog every Tuesday at about 5pm and
that is just impossible! So far I have kept very strictly to my schedule
however what with Tuesday being a school day and an after-school rehearsal day for me. So I might (I haven’t quite decided) move my post day to a Sunday, just
to make things a little stress for myself!
4. Makeover Time
I'm not even gonna pretend to know anything about web design. I want my blog to look prettier - I'm not talking Vogue style perfection. I mean, I want my blog to undergo that process in the teen movie where the cool kids take of the dorky girl's glasses, give her some lip gloss and teach her to smile and oh look she was pretty all along! So if any of you know how to work that kind of movie magic... let me know
5. Connect more
Last,
but not least, I want to put myself out there! I don’t speak to you guys nearly
enough! I’ve never done events or buddy-reads (yet!) and I think that should
change. I vow to at least try and
remember to answer my comments, update my goodreads and make myself known in
the community. Soon enough, I promise, I’ll be tweetin’ like a little bird!
So
there we have it, a makeover-to-be! But I’d like to know whether these things
were ever issues for you guys or was it just me? Let me know if there’s
anything I can do to make this blog a better place that I haven’t already mentioned.
Let’s get started guys-
Talk
to me! I promise I’ll talk back!
