#BEDM begins today & I'm not ready!
Today's topic is 'What's your blog about?' - well, I really wish I knew!
When I decided to blog it was more as a way of 'forcing' myself to write & get my writing out of the closet & into the world. However, that's not what happened. I struggle to know what to write about so I often end up not writing at all, which rather defeats the point of the blog!
Also, I'm not very tech-savvy so my blog looks dull compared to most of the wonderful ones I follow - take a bow Elizabeth at Rosalilium & Char at Dinoprincesschar! So I often feel disappointed with my poor little blog - it's not its fault but I don't know how to fix it.
The lack of direction in my blog mirrors the lack of direction in my life; I often feel that I'm being pulled down life's river without a map or any means of steering! I think I need to get my blog, and by extension my life, onto some track, especially if the aim of the blog is to promote my writing.
I also have a little bit of envy towards those blogs which have their own web address. As a novice blogger I thought the only way to blog was through a site like blogger but now I've seen other blogs I realise that there may be more scope to get the blog 'out there' with a proper web address. I'm often frustrated that I get few views & even fewer comments.
So there we are, a rudderless, lost blog with no focus - sounds like a mess to me! Maybe this month's BEDM will give me the kick up the pants I need to sort it out & get it on track & buzzing.
Now to sort out my life while I'm at it ...
I think BEDM is a great way to find out your direction and really think about what you want your blog to be! I took part last year, and I decided at the last minute that I would try again this year, and it really forces you to get things on track and be really organised!
ReplyDeleteI have similar crises of confidence from time to time, but keep writing and you'll get there! :)
