RE: 31 Day Writing Challenge! Day 2: How to Find Ideas From Your Life
Doing it your way is the only way to do it. If you emulate others you run the risk of coming across as unauthentic.
Be you- you're the best person for the job ;)
Good point- taking a lot of your own photos is a very good practice. It's more personal, you'll never not find the correct photo, and you'll capture exactly what you want to convey the emotional response you want from your readers.
I agree if you aren't the best person to tell your thoughts or stories then they probably should be being told.
Having your own photos with your words makes for 100% original content. I have to laugh sometimes at people who will write a post that is 30 to 40 % quoted material, cited properly though, and then with all the accompanying photos taken from an open source photo share, properly cited again, but at he end of the piece it will say . "100% Original Content" or something to that effect.
It just cracks me up....
