Blogging tips from Amit Verma

Now Amit is one of the preeminent Indian bloggers with a loyal readership. He recently had his first novel published as well. The tips are many and one would have read them somewhere, but I thought it was a nice compilation of points to keep in your mind while writing.

One of the things which came to my mind was when he says, “Writing should be for fun”, was how true it is like an new age proverb. Many people write as an extension of their selfish gene. The innate nature of humans is to propagate their presence, leave signs of their uniqueness, imprint their genome on the sands of time. Blogs by their ease of use have become a very convenient tool, but not necessarily the most effective. That’s where the ‘fun’ part comes. Unless writing is fun, one can’t produce good stuff, instead one will churn out banal and labored articles.
