In the current issue of More (still my favorite magazine), "The Rules According to…" features Helena Bonham Carter has a great outline for her career. We’re gonna modify the text, but use her outline as a guide for blogging:
- Find your voice: In her new movie, the musical Sweeney Todd, she sings. She didn’t know she could really sing at this level…until she did it. We don’t really know what we can do…until we do it.
- Know when to shut up: This goes for blogging too. Sometimes our posts are too long. Sometimes we post just for the sake of posting. Really….sometimes we should just shut up for a bit.
- Indulge your inner toddler: Being childlike without being childish is an important part of blogging — and life!
- Be comfortable in the skin you’re in: Transparency isn’t just something a blogger should aim for, because over time…it’s just gonna be there. Be comfortable with who you are and you’ll do fantastic!
- Vive la difference: Embrace and share some of which makes you different (i.e., my fondness for the More mag).
To see the actual and complete text Helena’s rules, you’ll need to pick up a copy of the December/January issue of More.
