Suggestions about my new blog
-
So I am anonymously writing my life’s story on my blog. Any suggestions on what I should put or how I should go about writing my story. You can check it out here.

I don’t know why I’m here. I don’t know why I’m writing this to you. I don’t even know how did I get to this post. I only know that it happened to read your introduction; and maybe it’s because English is not my native language, but that “story beginning” is extremely well written and the way you expressed your thought just caught me in a couple of seconds.
I sincerely hope you are the “anonymous-you” you pretend to be, because that was incredibly intriguing! Keep going on is the only advice I can give you. I’m really looking forward to read more.
(I’m sorry, I just realized that you were asking for help; mine wasn’t really helpful.)

While I really like the idea of being anonymous, I think you still need to include pictures. You can definitely get some that won’t be too telling of who you are. But overall, great ideas, can’t wait to see more.

Your intro is well written but obviously you need content — lots of it. From an organization standpoint, I’m not sure if you have experience in story writing but your framework is going to be critical since it will determine the types, order, detail, and frequency of your posts.
The simplest structure would be chronological, starting from childhood to today, but the problem there is that you will eventually catch up with present day and your content will slow. Other options would be things like (1) current thoughts/lessons tied to a flashback or (2) chronological starting from today. I’ve considered other options but the problem with blogging is that some book formats don’t work as well since it’s hard to jump around and keep the reader interested if the story isn’t supposed to end (with much of it still unwritten)!
Hope this gives you at least some ideas on how to move forward. Best of luck!
