Fangirl Fury’s Brief Origin Story

Ever since I discovered the glory that is Booktube back in 2015, I’ve had the desire to create my own blog. As much as I wanted to share my passion for fangirling and reading, I felt that I didn’t have enough time to devote to a blog,  being a busy high school and now college student. During the past semester, I took an English course called Blogs, Tweets and Social Media, as required as the class, we had to create our own blogs. The class gave me the kick that I needed to create Fangirl Fury. Our assignment was to write ten blog posts over the semester; by May, I had twenty-five posts uploaded on to Fangirl Fury.

Advice

1. Create a schedule- At least once a week, I sit down with my notebook and plan out my posts for the next 1-2 weeks. Scheduling my posts not only gives me an idea of what I’m posting each week, but it also provides consistency for my blog. I post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with the occasional fourth post on a Tuesday or Thursday (such as this week). Being consistent encourages people to keep visiting your site- they’ll be impressed by your dedication!
2. Comment on other blogs– One of the reasons most bloggers create their blogs is to share their passion with other people. Don’t be afraid to comment and interact with other bloggers! Not only will you be able to share some of you favorite things, but commenting will help you create a sense of community for your blog.
