Okay people, it’s time to cross a line.
And by that I mean it’s time to get personal. Now please do not get me wrong ~ I do not want to spill my guts about how so-and-so is doing the perfect job of ruffling my fur or how living in a large household of seven is somewhat daunting; rather I mean it’s time I talked about some of the things that have been going on in my life.
Warning: for those that have a strong aversions to reading a stranger’s thoughts, please pass by and we’ll all be happy.
Let’s start with the “why”….
You may be asking any of the following:
~ why has she suddenly gone mental?
~ why am I even bothering with this?
~ why does everyone seem to succumb to the need to spill their guts on the internet?
~ why is she wasting my time?
~ why is the sky up and not down?*
*okay, that one only if you have a really short attention span…
But the plan and simple reason for why I feel compelled to go all personal on y’all is basically this: I do not know what else to blog about at the moment.
The thing is that I have been trying to keep up with Depict This when I realized that I miss it when I don’t blog. But the stage of life I am at right now seems to be severely hampering my creative mind and as a result I do not have anything in the usual fields that Depict This touches on to post about.
I have been wondering what other bloggers do when life/writers block strikes and it seems to me that you have three choices as a blogger.
One: You can keep on forcing yourself to post about your normal topics. I have heard that having a regular schedule helps with this.
Two: You can take a break.
Three: You can blog about the stuff that is relevant to you right now.
Well, I’ve tried the first two methods. Forcing myself to post ended up in blogger burnout with a five-day update schedule. Bad idea!
Secondly, I tried the break trick but I missed it too much. I like writing, even when the things I have to write about are not that inspiring.
So I thought I could try the third option.
Now I know you will not want to read a whole bunch of “Gee, I really do not know what to write today" posts because I hate it when that’s all you get for a month from on one of your favourite blogs. And I do think that a schedule would be a good idea. How do Tuesday and Thursday updates sound? And I think I will try to throw in a little som’thin som’thin on Saturdays too.
But would you mind if the topics are not just about vintage, clothes and crafty art stuff? If I mixed it up say, with stories about my husky Amabelle. Would that be interesting?
Or stories about ginger bread house making? Or the clean floor challenges? Or desperate dying disasters ~ hair dye that is!!
I know I have briefly touched on personal topics before, such as where DH and I are off too, or trying to buy a house {still in the middle of that one folks!}
But as a lifestyle type blog, I wonder whether topics about my life in particular, not just life in general, are permissible.
What do you think about mixing general and personal?
xox,
