You need to get in to a schedule which allows you to systematically approach your blog writing. Doing so will make it easier to be repetitive and stay on a schedule for those repetitive blogging actions, which in turn will allow you to find your voice a whole lot easier because you will be blogging far more frequently.

I guess the point is this: blog more often and you will ultimately be practicing your writing more often, which will lead to you finding the voice you are struggling to locate.

It definitely is hard to find that voice when you are starting out. I find myself re-writing the opening paragraph multiple times. I still am not on a consistent schedule or using a consistent blog development method , so I will be struggling for a bit.

Glad to hear you keep returning because we have fresh content on a regular basis. I definitely wont say it's been easy, but since this is our passion we're doing what we can to ensure we keep the site updated regularly.

Thanks for the kind words Joshua – it will definitely help us keep up at this level!

For sure. I think a large part of what makes user keep returning to your site is having content updated pretty regularly. TechMiso handled that really well! Plus your posts about being a blogger with a full time job is a must read for anyone who really wants to excel in that area.

Stay in your groove Scott!

That's a great point and one I slightly touched upon in the article. If you need feedback, ask your friends and/or family for constructive criticism. In the beginning you wont have readers so you need to get that feedback from somewhere, so use your existing network to get you the data you need to better your writing.

I used to have problems with voice but largely have all but stopped being concerned. I guess you could say that I'm in that groove now.

Finding my voice has never been a large problem for me. The struggle that I think a lot of new bloggers experience is not having a reader base. Writing post after post without any feedback from others can cause people to stop pursuing and just give up.
