I started a blog as a way to learn how to write better. I don't want to be a professional writer, just a better one. But I need feedback on how my writing is improving, or not as the case may be. How do I encourage "writing tutor" type people to take a stop on my blog and help me?

Thanks

I'm not sure where to find "writing tutor type people" but there are several ways to increase traffic. Some of them include:

1. Find similar blogs and comment regularly. Don't spam - keep the comments on topic. This builds a sense of community. Soon those bloggers will be visiting and commenting on your posts.
2. Submit your blog to blog and feed directories. There are oodles of them out there. Google them.
3. Submit your posts to article directories.
4. Make use of social bookmarking tools such as Digg, Stumble etc.
5. Make use of social networking tools such as Facebook, Twitter etc.
6. Join communities/forums such as this one.

By saying no it’s the truth, so I’m going to lie and say yes.

Thanks for the advice. I did look around at other blogs and found some good ones that will help me. I will look for blog directories and find one that is right for me.
My blog is anyonecansing.weebly.com

Any comments on my writing would be helpful.

Thanks again.

hey i really like how you're showing your life through your writings. i checkd out your blogs and you relly do paint quite the picture :) keep up what you're doing!

the only critique i can think of is how you structure your blogs. while you write at a good length, it needs more paragraph indents and such. most pppl might find it hard to read an entire blog with few breaks. if you indent more often (like a new line for each sentence said in a convo), it lets the reader digest more easily.

ok now i'm writing too much haha but either way, hope i helped! best of luck!
