Blogger’s Block
Apparently I didn’t feel like blogging for a week. So I didn’t.
Sue me.
The problem with this blog is that I have no idea what I’m doing. All my other blogs have direction. They have purpose. I know why I’m writing, who I’m writing for, and what I should write.
Here… I’m not sure. About any of it. I’m not sure who is reading, I’m not sure if anyone cares, I’m not sure why or what I should write. Apparently having a personal blog is a lot harder for me if there isn’t a topic to guide me.
I mean, what do you people want to know about?
Do you want to read about? My moving to New Zealand? My knowledge of blogging (despite being a terrible blogger here I do know a lot about blogging)? My learning and working with affiliate marketing? My attempts to become a real writer through freelancing? My thoughts on Memphis and the world? I mean, I could write about some or all or none of these things. There are blogs out there that focus on these things and more that mention them in passing. Should I be writing about that?
I suppose I haven’t been writing because I don’t know what to say in this space. That’s a first for me. I’m rarely without words or the desire to express myself. I suppose this means that sometimes blogging is hard. It’s hard when you don’t have direction.
So if you would like to speak up and let me know what you want to read about, maybe I’ll start writing. (Please do. Because I have no idea.) Until then… I’m off to enjoy the good weather in Memphis before it disappears and all I can do is sweat.
I would like to hear about most of the things that you asked in the third to last paragraph :) ppparticularly your attempts to move from blogging as a hobby to blogging (and ultimately writing) as a profession. and i like hearing all about your adorable relationship and new zealand too, because its sweet and makes me smile.
I personally love to just read about people’s day and general little things about their life. Oh and pictures. Whatever you write someone out there is bound to find it interesting! So I say go for it.

I want to read about affiliate marketing, blogging, blogging as a business… and all that good stuff.
I’m having the same problem… with no focus, and the ability to write about anything, sometimes you come up with nothing.
i always forget to read this blog! you know i always remember to read your others. my blog has no specific topic, and usually i still always have things i want to write about, althoughi dont always have the time and ability to get it out at that moment. mine has all subjects jumbled up cuz thats how my brain works. anyway, write about anything at all. im sure you have random weird thoughts that come to your head..
