Can a bad writer have a successful blog?

Its time to face the facts; I am a terrible writer.   I read the blogs of my classmates in a social media class and I just cant compare to writing abilities.   So this made me think, can a good speaker have a successful blog?  First things first I need to write about topics that I can truly get passionate about.  I’m sure there are others out there who have things in common with me.   I get passionate about the music of Paul Van Dyk, my family and helping people get there confidence back in life.   No more will I compare myself with the writings of others.   I want to share with you and post I found today.

This probably drives you real writers completely nuts. But maybe it’s not all bad.

Here are three reasons why these awful wordsmiths can actually make you a better blogger.
