When I first started blogging it was mostly to just write. To write about my life and dreams, things I always wanted to write about but had never had a real opportunity to write before.
Admittedly, it was also for the attention. It was to have the sense that someone somewhere gave a damn about what I thought and I what I liked. But did I go about this blogging thing all wrong?
I read other people's blogs and I wonder to myself why I can't seem to write like that. They seem to be writing about what they like and what they don't, just like me. So why do they get more views and comments and I am sitting here struggling to write what little I do write?
I think I am going about this wrong. I am random. They have one main topic or idea that is present through all their posts. I don't understand why I would have one main topic. I get bored to easily and there is really only so much you can say about horses or books or things like that.
But does that mean that I'm blogging wrong? Do I have staying power? I've blogged less than 300 posts since I started this particular blog with Pomegranate back in 2008. Granted I have over 400 blogs on my blog that I started back in 2006, but I haven't written in it much over the past nine months. In fact, I've only written 7 blogs on that particular blog this year.
So, I'm not sure and I don't know what to do. I'm not that funny or witty. Though I try. I am not the smartest pumpkin in the patch, but damn it I have worked hard to attain the knowledge that I have. Where does that leave this cute little random mess of a blog? I'm not certain.
Maybe I need to find a general theme? Maybe I should curb the desire to discuss anything and everything that comes to mind? Maybe I should stop attempting to have serial blogs (Country of the week, song of the day, ugly shoe of the week, etc.) and just stick with the random? Or maybe I should just stick to what I know and not try to learn anything new or branch out.
I want to be a better writer. I want to blog about everything that I find interesting, everything that pisses me off, everything that made my day and things that I didn't know, but discovered by being random. But am I going about this all the wrong way?
I think in my opinion you should write what ever. People read your blog, maybe not thousands but people do read it.
ReplyDeleteYou are silly and uber dorky momma, things are just like this sometimes. ;)
Madame, I would be most pleased should you care to write about early British monarchy, and the worldwide sociopolitical impacts of the British empire's rule.
