A Few First Time Posts from This Week

 

We all remember our first blog post, that nervousness of venturing forward, taking a risk and exposing our self to the world.

 

The fear of all the unknown strangers reading our thoughts, making sure that everything was just right, not revealing too much to these strangers, yet revealing enough information to make it interesting.

 

Well this week like most weeks we have many new bloggers joining us in the Rain, committing their first blog post to paper, and letting the world know that they are ready to blog.

 

Take a few minutes to stop by and read a few new blog posts and welcome these first timers to the rain!

Writing a Blog Post can be tough or easy but if you make it part of your routine you will find that it becomes easier over time.

The toughest part is finding Topics to write about. 

I wrote a detailed article on this very topic.
