Someone suggested to me once that having a direction for my blogged thoughts.. that is, posting along a theme, would draw people who shared similar interests. So I have to ask myself a series of questions:
1) Why am I blogging? I’m not entirely sure really, I guess this is part of the whole exploration and trying to open myself back up to writing again. I used to be a prolific, if not profound writer. But, In light of some of the things I see that get published, I’m not exactly grocery store paperback quality either. I need to sort out my thoughts, talk in circles and generally put my head back in order. Am I doing it for a crowd? No. If people read it, then okay. If they don’t, (which is the more likely) that’s okay too.
2) Do I really want to draw a crowd? This is weird question. I like the idea of people reading my thoughts and telling me what they agree with or don’t or whatever. Do I ever want to see mention of my blog on CNN as something that peeved off somebody? Not particularly.
3) What the heck direction to take? I have a LOT of interests and hobbies. Reading, cooking, wine, travel, hunting, fishing, competition shooting, needlepoint, cross stitch, writing, playing with technogadgets… what the heck direction would I take if I took a direction?
So I ask my non-existent audience. Since your silence is the best feedback I could hope for. Do I schmutz this thing in an actual direction? Or do I continue to talk in circles?
