#but to write about sensitive topics one must subject oneself to sensitive topics

[never-forget-viva-la-pluto]

My biggest writing advice is get used to saying "I hate learning about [X], but I wanna write about [X], so I guess I have to learn about [X]...damn."

Occam's razor is the principle that, of two explanations that account for all the facts, the simpler one is more likely to be correct.

this post is going to cover traits specific to the manga and the television drama, since those are the best adaptations to showcase L’s autism. THIS POST is required reading before you read anything i’m about to type, because it explains what kind of character niche L falls into--an unintentionally autistic coded character. i’ll talk more about that at the end.

i’m going to talk about manga L first, since he’s the original version after all. i’m going to go in order of physical traits, to behavioral, to his character writing. also, tumblr eats posts that have outside links, so i’m going to have my non-tumblr sources in a separate post, here.

anyways, more under the cut!

MANGA/ANIME:

sitting with his legs up and spine bent / sitting on the floor

this is such a big one and its extremely common in ppl with autism. sitting in chairs normally is uncomfortable to outright painful w many ppl with these disorders, myself included. L sitting like that (which, to recall, is a blatant homage to sherlock holmes, another character that is so blatantly autistic coded you can find absolutely ridiculous amounts of writing on the topic) and being like "I HAVE TO SIT LIKE THIS TO THINK PROPERLY" is so autistic. like sitting in a certain way to give you specific sensory stimulus/avoid distracting discomfort and pain is a thing. i found this post (1) written by an autistic person on the topic of sitting in chairs being uncomfortable, and it says as much:

“I suspect that seating discomfort is common in autism (though by no means limited to autistic people). Many of us, particularly as children, benefit greatly from chairs designed to be non-stationary: rocking chairs, “fidget” chairs, and so forth. These can improve focus, compensate for proprioceptive hypo-sensitivity, and alleviate restlessness. In short, many “attention issues” can be fixed simply by providing a little motion for the person sitting. Small change, huge results. That's what accommodations do at their best. They make (often minor) adjustments that have profound impacts.”

so when L says that sitting the way he does, for a specific sensory experience, improves his ability to think, it’s perfectly in line with this idea. Also it’s a good pressure stim.

standing with a slouch / shifting his weight around

to begin: yes! it’s very common for autistic people to stand or walk oddly for a number of different reasons, from physical comorbidity to other issues such as dyspraxia (see: movie L). From an article by YAI (2), an I/DD (intellectual and/or developmental disabilities) community program:

“Kyphosis (a curved spine), collapsed chest, dropped shoulders and even scoliosis are observed in many of our patients. These myriad of postural issues may result from reduced strength, decreased biomechanical stability, or from a sensory impairment, such as apraxia. 

Depending on the scene, L has mild to severe kyphosis which is very common in autistic individuals. Other things mentioned in that article if you want to click on it is instability in standing, where you sort of shift your weight around a lot between your  feet or rest all of your weight on one foot, which L is literally doing the first time we see all of him.

speaking with a monotone voice.

i obviously can’t show a picture for this one and it honestly depends on the voice actor you find for L, but in the anime in particular L has a very flat tone. a lot of this is bc he has a dry sense of humor but. just know that it’s very common for autistic people to have a flat affect (or go the other way into being too loud/emotive).

his eating habits. 

a lot (a LOT) of autistic ppl myself included can only eat certain kinds of food for texture and flavor reasons. HOWEVER there’s a term in the autism community called “samefoods” which is really well put by tumblr users candidlyautistic and autism-asks: 

“Samefoods or samefooding is a community word to describe the autistic trait of eating the same food over, and over and over . . . It is part sensory, part routine driven in most cases. A lot of times we samefood because we need that particular mouthfeel / texture / taste, and a lot of times even after that need passes, it turns into a need for routine until you actively dislike that food again.”

“Samefooding on the other hand is closer to a special interest. When I have a samefood (chocolate ice cream, currently), I really, really want that food. I could eat that food endlessly and not get tired of it. I will get upset if I’m not able to have the food in a day. For me, it usually is kind of routine based as well. For instance, with my current samefood, I have some in the evenings and it’s become part of how I wind down from my day.”

we don’t know exactly why L specifically desires sweet food or if he considers it part of his routine, but what we do know is that he really wants to eat sweet food and avoids eating anything other than sweet food, so it could either be that he’s a picky eater and can’t handle savory or he’s samefooding on sweets!

wearing the same clothes

L wears the same clothes every single day. It’s also worth noting that what he does wear is baggy, too-big clothing, the kind that wouldn’t be tight and uncomfortable. once again, sensory issues are a huge thing for autistic individuals. one of my favorite aspects is that in no adaptation does he wear socks. even L wears shoes, he wears them like slippers, not putting them on all the way. people comment that he seems like he’s poor, but we know for a fact that he’s very rich and that wearing these clothes is a personal choice he made.

not caring for himself/outsourcing his self-care

i don’t think one day is exactly canon, rather it’s an exaggeration of what might actually happen--i.e. L doesn’t have a huge closet full of the same outfit, but he does have several versions of the same outfit on rotation; L doesn’t use a human washing machine, but Watari might help him/encourage him to bathe regularly. One Day is a parody comic, but it was made by the creators for a reason and that reason is that L pretty obviously relies on a caretaker (Watari) for his personal needs. Watari, in the manga proper, cooks and cleans and does most things for L. we’ll come back to this topic when we get to the drama though.

doing stimming behaviors

if you don’t know what stimming is, it refers to self-stimulating behaviors, usually involving repetitive movements or sounds. everyone stims to some extent, but in autism it tends to be more obvious, go on for longer, and sometimes be more disruptive to others. it’s often used to help deal with sensory overload, or used to express feelings--think of an autistic person being happy and flapping their hands in the air.

there are a LOT of instances of L displaying stimming behavior, from stacking his food or things on his desk, to spinning in his chair, to biting his fingers/using them to press on his lips, to wriggling and tapping his toes. here are some specific instances:

there are a lot more. i’ll talk about more when we get to dramaverse, but if you rewatch/reread death note it’s definitely worth noting whenever L does something like this!

detective work as a special interest

ok, first and foremost i want to establish what a special interest is. Tumblr user cartoon has my favorite explanation of what a special interest is that i’ve seen to date: 

“To have a deep, intense, passionate and incredibly focused / narrowed interest in a certain area of study, subject, topic or thing - to the exclusion of other interests. This interest is something that exists for the long-term, most often lasting for multiple months, years, or even you’re entire life “

L says that he only does detective work because it’s a hobby, and he finds it entertaining. We’ve also seen that he’s been at it for quite some time--if you take side content (the wammy’s house comic, LABB) seriously, then he’s been at it since childhood, with unwavering interest. it definitely comes across to me as L having a special interest in detective work, rather than it just being a normal hobby or a job for him, especially since he says it isn’t out of any moral obligation.

germaphobia

Germaphobia is very common for individuals with autism. a lot of the time it’s actually sensory issues associated with “dirty” things, and a lot of the time it’s because features of OCD are heavily comorbid with autism, including contamination OCD and such fears. regardless of the reason, though, L’s aversion to touching Bad Things is a very autistic behavior, and so is his resulting quirk that he tends to hold things in a very odd manner!

muted emotional expression

this is getting more into L’s character, but L tends to feel and express emotions in a very muted way. not to say he doesn’t have them, but for instance in the example above, L doesn’t have a solid grasp on what exactly he’s feeling. he thinks he might be acting irrationally and overemotionally because he logically should be afraid, but he isn’t sure, and none of these emotions present themselves visibly. 

i’ve also seen it said that Ukita’s death is another good example of his muted response to emotion--he tells Aizawa to stay rational and his voice doesn’t waver as he tells him as much, but he holds himself tightly. for someone with poor emotional competence, these physical signs of distress can be hard to read in oneself, but Aizawa (a man who is extremely in-tune with his emotions) can tell immediately.

high logic, low empathy

L is also a character who, like many autistic people, lacks a certain degree of empathy. it’s not that he doesn’t have any, but it’s limited enough--and he values logic over it enough--that he’s willing to make extreme decisions and take a “ends justify the means” approach (such as using people as bait.) in the example above, L takes a moment to work through what it must actually feel like, which rings as very autistic.

bluntness/not caring about social convention

there are so many examples of this i honestly could list them all day, but L is a character who is very to-the-point and doesn’t care about mincing his words. he can be outright rude to the people around him, especially if he considers them not worth basic courtesy. see: Matsuda. 

DRAMAVERSE

if you all knew me you should have known this section is inevitable. i’m not going to talk about every single adaptation because i do not have the time and the only other adaptation that is meaningful in that regard is the movieverse (i am fairly certain that movie L is dyspraxic) but on account of the fact that i don’t care about them i won’t subject you all to them here.

anyway, drama L shows much the same traits as animanga L above (they are, after all, technically the same character) but he displays them in different ways. 

he has a much more advanced degree of germaphobia, with Watari saying he’s sensitive to outside air and spraying everyone who enters his space with disinfectant, but not making them wash their hands or anything like that, so we can kind of tell that his issues are more rooted, again, in a fear of germs rather than any actual medical issue. he wants to feel as though he is clean, not necessarily actually be clean. this is very common in contamination OCD, which has a high comorbidity with autism. (my girlfriend has a very good headcanon post about drama L and OCD that isn’t so much analysis than just plain fun, but it’s worth a read!)

he stims, but he has a different array of stims than animanga L--he chews on his jelly pouch bottles, 

he tosses it between his hands, 

he kicks his feet,

and he bounces in his chair.

he still sits in an unconventional manner. he still samefoods, this time even more exclusively--he only eats Lucky Charge jelly pouches and nutritional bars. Watari onscreen puts his shirts on for him, as well as cooking, cleaning, and mending his clothes for him.

however, there are a few traits that are drama-exclusive that i think really add to an analysis of his autism!

social scripting

social scripting and echolalic scripting are both commonly described as “scripting,” but are very different! echolalic scripting is like echolalia, but echolalic scripting is the recitation of longer passages of dialogue from things the individual has heard before. but social scripting is when you memorize common conversations so you can rattle it off without worrying too much! this can be very handy, such as exchanging basic pleasantries or ordering food, but it can also backfire if someone responds in a way your script’s not set up for. you can find more information on the difference in this video (3). 

now, this relates to L in that there are two separate scenes where L says the same thing, rather inappropriately:

L: When I consider Kira’s personality, could it be that the strong-willed daughter is Kira? Or could that sweet-looking son of yours surprise us by proving to be him? You never know what humans are hiding beneath the surface... Soichiro: Enough. L: Sorry. It was just a joke.

-- Episode 2

L: Light-kun. Oh, I’m sorry... If I called you “Yagami-san,” it would be the same as what I call your father.  Light: That’s okay. Call me whatever you want. L: Then what about Kira? (silence) L: It's a joke.

-- Episode 4

one could say that L just has a terrible sense of humor--and, of course, having a poor grasp of humor is common with autistic individuals--but the fact that he says nearly the same thing as a defense twice makes me feel as though he has it rehearsed as a defense when people react poorly to things he’s said, which happens often.

mirroring and echolalia

echolalia was briefly covered in the previous example, but for those unaware, via wikipedia (4):

Echolalia is the unsolicited repetition of vocalizations made by another person (when repeated by the same person, it is called palilalia). In its profound form it is automatic and effortless.

mirroring, on the other hand, is explained as such, also via wikipedia (5):

Mirroring is the behavior in which one person unconsciously imitates the gesture, speech pattern, or attitude of another. Mirroring often occurs in social situations, particularly in the company of close friends or family. The concept often affects other individuals' notions about the individual that is exhibiting mirroring behaviors, which can lead to the individual building rapport with others.

both of these are very common in autism, and they’re exemplified while L’s character is established watching his favorite TV show, Owarai Paradise. On one occasion, he’s watching the show and this dialogue happens:

Hiroshi: Despite never telling her how I felt, I still got dumped. I am Hiroshi.  Watari: Who was this one again? L: He is Hiroshi. Hiroshi: I am Hiroshi. I am Hiroshi.

-- Episode 2

it’s important to note that in Japanese, “He is Hiroshi” and “I am Hiroshi” are said, at least in this instance, exactly the same, so L is echoing precisely what he’s heard.

On another occasion, L is again watching the show with a glass of wine (seemingly acquired simply to imitate the characters onscreen, as he never drinks it) and when the characters onscreen toast their glasses, L does the same, mirroring them. 

CONCLUSION

I linked a post at the very beginning of this analysis talking about how characters are unintentionally autistic coded, and it’s important to understand how this unintentional coding is different from a headcanon--i didn’t make up these traits. they aren’t something that only exist in my head that i ascribe to L for fun. 

i made this analysis both because i wanted to share L’s autistic coding in one cohesive place, because plenty of people have made lists before, but none that i could find that included so many examples with images and explanations--and i also made it because of the old ryuzaki persona “theory.” 

for those unaware, the ryuzaki persona headcanon suggests that L faked all of these traits in order to make people uncomfortable, to put them off-guard and better mask his identity. i’ve seen posts about people claiming that nobody could actually behave in these ways, that L would surely be unhappy and uncomfortable sitting like that, or eating like that, or engaging in any of these behaviors. I’ve seen some people outright say that L isn’t autistic, but his persona is--that is, he’s pretending to be autistic.

i named this essay “occam’s razor” because, to me, L being autistic is the simplest answer to account for all of these traits. claiming that an autistic coded character is faking it is ableist and it just doesn’t make sense with anything else we know about his character.

but if you want to know more about that, i recommend reading eyecicles’ first!L tag. it’s debunked it in more ways than i ever could.

anyways, in conclusion

What is Street Photography

There’s a huge confusion somehow when it comes to what the definition of street photography is, the confusion is only in India in instagram, google and wiki and all books on the topics are nowhere ambiguous about what it means. Maybe we Indians are a little lazy about just googling it, I don’t think those people will be reading this blog anyway. But maybe for those who are already aware I will share stuff to help them to have a stronger resolve in their solitary pursuit. 

Like Caravaggio is father of Baroque Painting and Picasso of Cubism, the Father of Street Photography is Henri-Cartier Bresson. Bresson may not have invented candid photography but he proposed in his writing the approach, the philosophy, the very essence of this genre of photography which was later named street photography by the followers of his school of thought. What falls under street photography and what doesn’t, will be crystal clear when we understand the philosophy behind it. Let’s see what he is saying, these are not just motivational quotes, they are the definition of the genre, so try to understand them. 

“There are those who take photographs arranged beforehand and those who go out to discover the image and seize it. For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to give a meaning to the world, one has to feel oneself involved in what one frames through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, a discipline of mind, sensitivity and a sense of geometry - it is by great economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson

“To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson

The key phrase here is “recognition of the significance of an event” (while simultaneously organizing and capturing it), that’s the crux of it. If the recognition of the event is disconnected to the capturing of the event then it’s no more (street) photography for Bresson. What does this mean… if you preconceive an image and set it up before capturing it, it’s no longer street photography. The capturing and organizing (composing) has to be together. 

“Above all, I craved to seize the whole essence, in the confines of one single photograph, of some situation that was in the process of unrolling itself before my eyes.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson 

Street photography is not about documenting an event happening on the street with a series of photos but the skill lies in capturing the whole essence of the event in a single image. 

“A photographer must always work with the greatest respect for his subject and in terms of his own point of view.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson

The definitive statement on ethics of candid photography, do not show your subject in a disrespectful manner. Don’t tag #poorkid for likes. 

“To photograph: it is to put on the same line of sight the head, the eye and the heart.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson

This can mean many things, my understanding is that a photograph should be good technically, visually and conceptually.

So that’s street photography. This does not mean other forms of photography are somehow wrong, one can do anything they like, I do multiple things myself, from architecture, still life, portrait with interaction, etc but it’s good to know that they are not technically street photography to avoid confusion, to discuss them in context and not to bother fashion photographers with candidness of strangers.  

Street Photography is an approach to photography and is not defined based on subject or location like other genres. The approach as defined by Bresson limits the genre to have the subject matter to be unstaged and unposed as if it’s staged it is no longer simultaneous recognition of event occuring and it’s capture.

If you can get a hand on Bresson’s books “The Decisive Moment” or “The Mind’s Eye” get them.

Pen Names

    Growing up, everybody called me Bill, but my birth certificate lists William as my official name. I use William for documents and signatures but Bill for everything else. I used Bill for my books because I felt it was more “friendly.” My bold decision did not make any headlines.

    Funny side story. Ten years ago, I was a contractor and needed to go onto the Port Hueneme military base. My contractor identification listed my name as Bill, but my driver’s license listed me as William. The security guard at the gate wanted to arrest me because the names differed. When he told his supervisor what he had “discovered,” the supervisor biffed him on the side of the head. I drove away laughing.

    Well, this topic has come to a close. However, as I read Facebook Group Writers Helping Writers posts, I saw authors fretting over their pen names (The name they write under). How does Randolph Drake sound? Is it too charismatic? Will it turn women off? Will men buy my book because the name intimidates them?

    I could not believe what I was reading. Then I thought, “Wait a second. I see the real person’s name in the post. I know the true identity of Randolph Drake! Wow, I uncovered a big (open) secret!” Even more surprising were the fellow authors responding to the pleas for help. “As a man, I would buy a book written by Randolph Drake.” “Randolph Drake sounds sexy. How about Julian Drake?”

    The more I read, the more confused I became. Were people ashamed of their names? Did a pen name elevate their reputation? My favorite authors are Tom Clancy, Neil Gaiman, and Ken Follett. Those are their real names. (Side note. I researched the topic and all three used pen names for other works. But the books I liked use their real names on the cover.)  However, many famous authors use pen names like Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) and George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair).

    I do not understand why a regular author needs a pen name. However, I would understand that if the subject is sensitive or offensive, one’s identity must be a secret. I also appreciate a kooky name (like Maynard Smellmore) or if the author has the same name as somebody famous or infamous.

    Be proud to be an author! I hit the random name generator and came up with Tom Drake and Judy Collins. Those are not exciting names, but I would buy a book from Tom Drake or Judy Collins. These “plain” names certainly do not offend me.

    To better understand this issue, I searched the Internet. There were many articles on the subject, and two provided clues. First, a pen name is a safety net. If your first book fails, change your pen name and move on.

    Second, a pen name distances oneself from their writing. Bob Smith leads a boring life, but Randolph Drake leads a life of danger! This change allows Bob Smith the freedom to be bold, the very definition of an alter ego. Randolph Drake is an incredible person who writes up a storm! A fellow author once told me, “Authors are a secretive bunch.” Was that it? Does having an alternate identity put an author in the mood to write?

    The more articles I read, the more confused I became. Yet, I stood by my opinion. “My name is my name. Writing under a different name would not be honorable. An author should be proud of what they created.”

    It took a few hours to calm down, and then I thought about what Bird Person said on the television show Rick and Morty, “Wubba lubba dub dub which means whatever floats your boat.”

    I still do not get pen names. Writing comes from within. But many things in life are a mystery. For example, how do painters capture a stoic face in oil? I certainly do not have that talent and would not know where to start.

    What if serial killer “Bill Conrad” does something terrible? What if I write a book about Area 51 or a hard-core adult novel? The answer is, “Bill Conrad wrote this book.” If I cannot be happy with my humble writing, then that is my fault, and nobody else’s.

    Fortunately, you’re getting the real deal because General Martin Strongbow wrote this blog. Or is it William? Do I sound like Tom or Kevin? Let’s go with Murphy from now on.

    You’re the best -Bill

Art Galleries

Art galleries are institutions or discussion forums to promote art appreciation in art customers and also a system for artists to display their work. The term art gallery originally signified a certain area or gallery in a gallery to show paints, sculptures, and pictures. The appeal as well as success of this concept urged booking spaces as well as later, personal and also public independent buildings solely for exhibits, workshops, art teaching, as well as study programs.

Fame or prestige of a gallery depends on the musicians showcased and, to a big level, the connection with an art dealership. The collaboration encourages criteria of quality, as sincere dealerships guarantee maximum exposure for the gallery and also musician.  H. Leung

It remained in 1793, after the Reign of terror, that the very first gallery or museum to present imperial prizes was established at Louvre in Paris. It set a precedent for showcasing art collections for basic viewing. With the increasing popularity of fine arts as well as artists, galleries satisfying various tastes and also denominations sprouted up in many significant cities of the world. The U.S. has its share of both nationwide and private galleries in the areas and cities, holiday hotels, or musician's camps. Bulk galleries have preferred artists on their roster, while some purchase as well as promote works of unknown and also new musicians or host artistic activities such as music soirees, book launches, or image exhibits to coincide with the subject or motif of certain art work.

A bigger need for art as well as artists encouraged the establishment of on-line galleries to help source and also purchase paintings or sculptures from galleries as well as art dealers in different cities or countries. Art collection agencies or novices find this a convenient method to check out paints of various artists, depending on taste and also setting. But there is absolutely nothing to compete with the creative ambience of a prosperous gallery showcasing traditional and also special musicians or a midtown one marketing contemporary or garish jobs of new and also emerging musicians.

Art Gallery Suppliers

As professions go, an art dealer resembles any other human management or market administration nerd, overstocked with tact, patience, guile, and, essential, a keen eye for shades and also art. Offering a painting is no more resting under a tree or on the sidewalk waiting for a collection agency or buyer. It requires high-pressure salesmanship of both the art and the artist.

So if you have a Bachelor's Degree or MA or PhD in any art-related field, have good organization or advertising abilities, recognize languages, are individuals oriented with communication as well as writing skills, flooded with motivational capacities as well as sensitivity to artists' demands, and also have some experience at curatorial or gallery work, then think of this occupation. Generally, art dealers begin as apprentices to a well established dealership, where they discover just how to strike an offer and also how to keep the musician as well as the rich (and commonly irritable) customer pleased. Besides these skills, one needs to be familiar with various genres, the market value of old and upcoming musicians, and also existing affairs and also have contacts with various other dealerships and nose for brand-new acquisitions and sales. Compensation needs to not be an obstacle as it takes time to establish oneself, despite a PhD.

Once satisfied with the selection of occupation, focus on a specific category such as expressionist, contemporary, or pop art. Move around and be seen at celebrations, public auctions, and also gallery openings to gain the depend on and confidence of the musician as well as customer. Numerous art dealerships stepping out individually have safeguards in the kind of financial savings or fundings to sustain them up until they construct a clientele. The reason being, it is an unpredictable occupation in an unsteady market with lengthy working hours.

There are disadvantages, like any kind of various other profession. A bargain can go awry, or your persuasive skills may be unable to convince a possible client to invest in a particular painting or artist. Here, instinct and also assumption aid, and also if you are unable to accept difficulties, then transform your career. But if you are positive and have the capacity to deal with the circumstance then, it is all worth it.

How to Attract More Readers to Your Blog: 15 Tips

How to Attract More Readers to Your Blog: 15 Tips

Article Snippet

If you are new to the blogging world, you are probably writing daily and just hoping that people will stumble onto your site. The analogy would be if you were an actor, and while in LA you decided to sit in a diner that famous people were said to patronize in the hopes of “getting discovered.” Unfortunately, there are so many blogs (and so many wannabe actors!) that a passive Web presence is not the way to “be discovered.” Instead, one must be very proactive in promoting oneself in order to lasso readers of your blog.

The Details

Identify who you are writing the blog to or for. It is always important to know your prospective audience and write to that audience specifically.

Use Google Analytics or some other analytical program to determine who is reading your blog, when they are reading it and if they seem to be interested enough to read all of it before leaving the site.

When you find a topic your readers seem to love, go with it! Target audiences are hard to gauge until you see what they actually want to read.

If you do not have expertise on a topic, or are unwilling to do the research to become knowledgeable, don’t blog on it. This includes highly emotional topics that everyone has an opinion on, like politics and religion.

Allow comments. Make sure there is both give and take on your site. If people can contribute, they will come back again and again to see responses to their comments.

Make sure your content is timely. Nobody loves reading blogs that are out of date. If you are going to blog, make it a regular part of your day or week.

Use search engines to help people find you. This will not happen without being proactive and actually promoting your blog.

Promote your blog on social networking sites. Add links on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Reddit, Pinterest, and any other social networking site you can become a member of.

If your blog is a part of your business and a way for you to bring attention to it, don’t be boring! Instead, tell stories about your industry. Relate your own experiences. People do not want to feel like they are wasting their time just reading blog-advertisement posts.

Make use of search engine optimization (SEO) and do proper keyword research. Google has a tutorial on this subject to help your site come up in searches sooner.

Make sure your content is useful in some way. If you were to read your own blog, would you glean useable information from it? Would you come back to see what other information you could use?

Use guest bloggers occasionally if you are tired of constantly blogging and are running out of ideas.

Link to useful websites that are relevant to your target audience. You can even link to other bloggers whom you enjoy reading.

Create sideline items on your blog such as wish lists, recommendation lists, top ten lists, etc. Readers who enjoy these things will come back time and again for your next list so that they can try things out.

Aim to write some longer blogs and break them up. End each with some sort of “cliffhanger” to bring your readers back for the next installment.

  The Bottom Line

Blogging may seem easy, but gaining readership and keeping it can be very difficult, since over two million unique blog posts are added to the Internet every day. (Source: http://www.digitalbuzzblog.com/infographic-24-hours-on-the-internet/) Be proactive and sensitive about your posts and you will eventually build up the readership you have always wanted.
