Coronavirus is spreading day by day and everyone is stuck in their homes. Due to no schedule, you must be losing productivity. Blog writing can be a way to get back on track and you might gain new experience while trying it. I need an answer to your question, "Why you should write?” Writing is art about expressing yourself, to know what's going inside your head, to get clarity of thoughts. When speech doesn't work try writing it down and it will help you for sure. Writing your thoughts gives you clarity of what’s bothering you; you understand the root cause of your problem which will help you come with a solution. A blog is an insight, thoughts, and stories on any topic. I will tell you everything about blog writing right from selecting the topic to structuring. So let's get started.
Topic Selection
As you are writing a blog you can pick any topic which you know. You can start writing with Tech topics, Recipes, Movie Reviews, News, etc. You can also tell about your life in your blog like the people you met, anything good/bad happened in your life by adding some spice to it. You can also check what's trending and you can write about it. The other thing you can do is take people's suggestions about what they want. Or you can simply pick a topic you want and start with it.
Blog Title
Blog Title should be creative and meaningful. The readers should get attracted to know what is written inside the blog and at the same time, they should also know the topic through the title of the blog. As the title has word limit choose the appropriate words.
After topic selection, the thing is to start writing. So a blog is structured with three things:
Introduction
Briefing about the topic
Conclusion
Introduction
In this segment, you will introduce your topic. Although the title says about the topic but you can't go directly into the topic in the first paragraph. This is the part to engage your audience so write it wisely and carefully. The introduction is like prerequisites to learn something.
Briefing about the topic
After introducing your topic this is the point to jump on the topic. Here you will write everything you want about your topic. If you want to tell a story, share your views on a topic, and everything you want to tell your audience will be in this part.
Conclusion
While concluding make sure you have written everything and it shouldn’t feel like you have kept it incomplete. In the end, highlight the points you want your audience to remember.

Write blogs according to your style. Everyone has different writing techniques, use of words is different, structure your thoughts into words is different, what you include in your blog is different. When you will start writing you will have a different style of writing based on these factors. Do not try to copy someone else. Be unique.
