Only a diary? - image from http://www.sxc.hu/
I’ve been thinking a lot about my blog.
That tends to happen when I meet up with Tracy I think she is convinced I’ve got something worth blogging about. It is lovely for someone to have faith in you. I want to be a good blogger. I just need to find something I’m good at blogging about.
Currently this blog is like a glorified diary, or journal, which I also do sporadically funnily enough. It’s like the second someone tells me I need to write more than 140 characters I clam up. I know there is stuff I want to say, but does anyone listen? And more importantly, do I care if they listen?
I’d like my blog to have more direction, more focus, but I don’t want it to be single-minded, I’m not a single-minded person, I’d like to think I’m multifaceted. Though maybe that is going a bit far!
The many facets of Becca
So I guess I need to look at my wordle and work out which bits of my life are blog worthy… Any hints and tips would be gratefully received! What do you want to read about?
I know it sounds really silly but writing a blog shouldn’t be about whether or not someone will read it (BTW I do lol). It’s about creating something nice in all this mess that is life – that’s the way I see it – sharing pictures or videos with people out there, talking about what makes me me (or in the case of what makes you you!)
Write about what you what to write about – start with the multi-faceted girlie that is Becca blog about those things – then if you find that one post doesn’t fit with the grand scheme then don’t write about that thing again. Start with writing about films or music or craft or something that means something to you and go from there – my blog started as rants about my daily life – most posts were a ramble through about what I did that day – okay it wasn’t necessarily exciting but it led on to what I do now – now I don’t claim to know everything about blogging and I don’t have a magic formula but this is what I’d start with 🙂
Hey lovely
Firstly, a huge thanks for both reading and replying 🙂
I mostly do write for me, I don’t have huge numbers of readers (love all 4 of you ;)) but I struggle sometimes with any inspiration!
I’ll get there, I have a notebook now, for blog ideas, and already have 2 in there 🙂
