I like reading blogs. I also like to read books. Currently I am reading
"The Happiness Project". I have reached the part in the book where she started an on-line blog.
I have this blog but I am not consistent about writing in it. One of my problems is that I have not decided in which direction I am headed. When I am reading about nutrition and investigating my current interest in that category, I (temporarily) decide that is what I will write about. Of course, all the diet books could fall in there too. Then there is travel. I am going to Ireland in August. We have been in the United States on a few occasions but otherwise, I have not made any trips outside Canada. Some of my 'greats' started out in Ireland so I am looking forward to my adventure.
Then there is my interest in crafts. I call myself a quilter although I have not been sewing for way too long. I enjoy knitting and counted cross-stitch as well. I see how others keep track of what they are working on in their blogs. Since I have not been very active in any craft, I wouldn't have much to write about.
At this time of year, I enjoy my garden. Most of my perennials were started in someone else's garden and then gifted to me. Most of my 'gardening' is puttering. I move plants around and pull weeds. I enjoy that but I don't see myself expanding my garden at this stage in my life so there isn't much material to write about there.
Maybe I could write about all these things. Afterall, it is MY blog. No one can say I am doing it wrong. What I choose to write about is for me.
One of the decisions Gretchen Rubin made when she started to blog, was to blog six days a week every week. Will I make a similar decision?
Hi Judy, Sure was glad to see a post from you pop up in my reader. And then, a few minutes later, you left a comment on my blog!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of writing about ALL those things. Looks at it this way - your blog is a reflection of YOU and you are certainly not one-dimensional so why should your writing be? Mine began primarily as a way to help me through losing some weight I'd gained, BUT it was never exclusively about that and more often than not, I take something that's happened during my day and tie it in to something about healthy living or whatever happens to be on my mind that day.
I will also say that expecting to write a post six day a week is aggressive. I started out trying to post every other day and found my writing becoming forced.
Hope to hear from you more frequently!!
