You know I don't sing....right? But I think my voice is sometimes funny

If you know anything about me, you'd realize I love blog friends! 

Today, I am letting Erica over at EricaAshley take over! 

Being busy with school lately, I've had some of my great friends help me out...hope ya don't mind! Enjoy!

I am SO excited to guest post of my favorite BBF (Blogging Buddy Forever)! 

She told me I can write about anything I wanted. Which left me in a tough situation because there is so much I could write about! I could tell you about how me and this lovely lady became such good blogging friends, or how we have never even met in person but I am completely obsessed with reading her posts and hearing about her life, or how finding blogging friends is one of the coolest things about blogging, which is SO true!

Instead I want to tell you all about the journey of finding my blogging voice and why its so important to do! 

Your blogging voice is the thing that reals the readers in. It is the voice in which you write your blog. The way in which you tell your story. The voice is how you present your blog to others and the different things you write about.

Some people blog about fashion (go you! You would laugh at my fashion advice). Some blog about becoming a mom or married (once again can't help ya there, I am neither of those things). Others will use their blog to promote things! And some just blog about their daily lives. 

Whatever one or multiple voices you choose to have the number one rule is BE YOU! Seriously, write this bad boy as if you were speaking to the reader you are writing to! It took me awhile to realize what it meant to have a voice in the blog world. It took me time to understand how to write my blog. But when you read this sucker you are basically having a conversation with me listening to me speak! 

I don't have the best grammar, or spelling, and I like to use LOTS of ! (I get excited about everything). I capitalize my words in all the wrong places, and I like to think I am hilarious and people laugh when reading my blog. Sometimes I get super serious about posts, but I like to add humor in there for some relief. But whatever you choose and however you choose to write, make sure its you! 

Also, people are gonna hate. Thats just life. Think of this blog as the real world, do you LOVE every single person you approach and want to become best friends? No way! Thats how blogging works. You will find some bloggers you love, some not so much. And the same goes for your blog. Some will LOVE reading your blog daily, others not so much. But that doesn't mean stop what your doing! 

Remember what I said, BE YOU! If people like ya, great! You have some new friends! (and I can promise there will be people you like ya) If others are not a fan, who cares! You can't make everyone in the world happy! But don't get discouraged! Keep doin you! 

Another thing about your voice is don't change it! Sometimes I read people's blogs and I am like "You are so FUNNY!" or "Oh my gosh you are so cool!" "I have to write just like you!" Don't. They are them and you are you. Sure you may share a liking for !! or you may both be hil-ar-ious! But remember the number 1 rule BE YOU! Don't copy someone else's voice, instead befriend that voice stealing blogger so you two can become best buddies! Just don't copy her and her everyday posts! 

Lastly have fun! Have fun writing posts, have fun doing random post such as 10 things I can't live with out, or Perks of Being a Woman . It's okay to not write about serious and life changing events daily! In fact, some of the best posts come from those days! 

Have fun finding your voice while blogging, get out there and do your thing! And remember BE YOU!
