So now that I'm trying to get blogging again, I find myself stymied as to what my "theme" should be. In much the same way as in art, the key to success in blogging seems to be consistency. Figure out your thing + keep doing that thing and that thing only = ability to build a following. But--also in much the same way as in art-- I find it nearly impossible to pick ONE THING. When people ask me what I'm passionate about, I tend to reply "It's irrelevant, because what I'm passionate about is always changing."
So themes I'd like to write about (other than my cat... she's already got a blog, so that's taken care of) include: food, travel, new york, art and design, snarky cultural critiques, books and general observations. So, since I don't want to set up a zillion blogs that I probably won't maintain, I'm going to put it all in one and wreck my ability to be consistent and therefore, by the laws of "how-these-things-work," not have a good chance of blogging success.
On the other hand, since one of my objectives is just "practice," I suppose I shouldn't even care. In the course of being all-over-the-place, perhaps I will determine what works best. It's my general life strategy of "throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks." Of course, then there's the thought that I'm 35 and shouldn't I have more shit stuck to my wall by now?
Can anyone out there tell me what I'm good at? What's your favorite thing that I've done?
