When You Feel Like a Wannabe

shutterstock_107814287 (1)

For me, blogging has been a lot like running.

Three years ago, I gazed out the window of my computer screen and saw the bloggers passing by, and thought, I want to be one of them. I started a little blog and began writing about this and that, trying to find my voice and figure out who I was as a blogger and a writer. Head down, I kept to myself, quietly tapping away at the keys.

I slowly gained confidence and began venturing out of my little blogging neighborhood to join the real bloggers out on the trails.

Join me over at Allume today where I share about how I often still feel like a wannabe.

Always,

Amanda

    Oh, Amanda, that is exactly what I needed to hear today. Like water to my thirsty soul. I’ve been in this blogging pool for about three years, too. Some days (like today) I feel like the shy girl who has wandered her way to the cool kids’ table and am just standing there to soak up the awesomeness hoping no one notices and calls me out. The very essence of a wannabe. Thank you for reminding me that I’m not alone in this journey. (And best of all, I’ve found a great new blogger to follow!)

    Thoroughly enjoyed this post, and browsing your blog. Thank you so much for the encouragement! Hopefully will get to join the Allume crowd this year and maybe be a little less of a wannabe :)

    I’m catching up on my blog reading and wanted to let you know how blessed I was by your post over at the Allume blog. I had to laugh because after a good morning or writing, I’ve fallen into a blogging rut tonight. {How does that happen in the space of a single day?} I’m getting ready to move to a self-hosted site and nervous as all get out…

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’m hopeful that this is the year I finally make it to Allume.
