Hi I'm Jody from WritersLife.org and

today we'll be talking about how to

choose a theme for your author blog an

excellent author blog needs to have a

theme a theme will pull together your

blog posts your musings and ideas and

give them some consistency all

successful blogs have themes cooking

travel fashion just because your blog

has the sole purpose of attracting more

readers and directing them towards your

other writing it doesn't mean you

shouldn't put in the same amount of

thought and effort as those who blog for

bloggers as those who blog for blogging

sake writers need to make connections

with their readers and an author blog is

a great way of doing this of course

setting up and keeping a blog is easier

sad and than done and many writers

despite their profession find it

difficult to know what to blog about an

author can vlog about anything but it's

essential that there's an overarching

theme pulling everything together

why because readers know what they like

to read and if your posts are all over

the place and an entirely different

topics week to week then they won't know

where they stand post written and

different styles and they have no

connection to one another will confuse

the reader who stumbles upon your blog

and loves it only to be disappointed by

your next post if this happens the

likelihood is they won't bother

returning to read any more first of all

we must remember how important it is to

blog a good author blog could be a

potent tool even if you aren't trying to

reach a traditional publisher your blog

could be a formidable platform your blog

to be a formidable platform from which

you capture new readers and a great

place to direct interested parties so

they can get to know your writing and

understand you better too the most

important thing to remember when picking

a theme is that if you intend to keep

your blog going for a significant period

your theme needs to be something that

has legs you need to be able to write a

whole bunch of content under the theme

so going to niche or specific could be

dangerous so going to niche or specific

could be dangerous secondly you need to

be able to enjoy writing blog posts for

your author blog so choose a theme that

genuinely

you and gives you lots of scope to write

about what you want your blog is a

showcase for you writing so the first

place to look when choosing the theme is

what your writing is about this is much

easier for nonfiction writers who may be

able to choose a theme based on topics

from their nonfiction work for a writer

of fiction it's trickier however this

doesn't mean you can't pull an interest

from outside your writing life into your

blog to ensure you remain passionate

about it if you love gardening for

example think about ways you can use

your knowledge experience and love of

gardening to create entertaining blog

posts get creative and don't be afraid

to experiment with different themes

before deciding on one remember you are

a writer and creativity is your own

weapon and is what will draw readers to

you so use your imagination and try to

be as unique and smart as possible if

your blog has a USP you are more likely

to draw readers in at the end of the day

you need to love writing your blog posts

if you don't the likelihood is that

you'll give up or do it so

half-heartedly that and that means it

will never be a success so when picking

your theme make sure that you've

considered this above all else because

if you love what you are doing you can't

go too far wrong don't forget if you're

having a hard time writing and finishing
