Inspirational tweets for Blogging
These are some motivational tweets I saved to motivate me to blog and ease up my insecurities about blogging. Hope this helps other newbies at blogging!
I was inspired to share this because of the #CNC2018 Blog More challenge from CodeNewbie.
Una Kravets
What Una Kravets say here really resonates with me because when I took notes at school, I really would come to appreciate it during the phase of exams and tests.
A great way to learn a concept is to write a blog post about it

✍️ Remember taking notes in school?
It's like that, but more polished, organized, & filled with links + your own definitions (which helps you think it through)
Blogging = public notes u can reference & share 😎
Craig Russell
I really needed to see this tweet! At first, I would get really concerned if an idea I had for a post was already out there on the internet. That would really make me give up writing the blog post. Despite my feeling, when I look at this thread I feel much better, because what Craig Russell says makes sense to me.

If you have something you want to blog about, do it.

Don't hesitate because someone got there first.
Shubheksha
This is an awesome thread about the insecurity of having to know everything, and the reach for the perfect blog post, that can cause you to never publish a drafted post. Shubheksha gets really candid about this and really helps me to overcome the fear of publishing posts.
Gentle reminder: you don't have to know everything about a topic or write a perfect blogpost with no flaws for it to see the light of the day.

I've obsessed over this & wasted enough time to realise that it's harming me in more than one way.

What I gain from writing that post is far more valuable than my irrational fear of missing or presenting something incorrectly.
I think I learnt a lot of this by seeing how @b0rk blogs. She writes about what she's currently learning, mentions when she's not sure of something, is happy to be corrected & open to having gaps filled in by other ppl.

Christina Lee
This one reminds me that you can learn a lot from blogging, the research for the blog post topic, and the willingness to have a good blog post makes you learn more about the topic. As Christina Lee says, this also applies for public speaking.
A pretty good description of how public speaking and writing can make you a better developer. I love the term "knowledge transforming" to describe this sort of process.

For now this are the tweets that I saved regarding blogging motivation. If I see others that might help, I’ll add here.
Share this with anyone that might be one motivational tweet away of starting or blog more.
