Less About You and More About Me

I have been in a bit of a rut as of late.  You may have noticed by the lack of posts going up.  The good news is that I have pinpointed the problem.  The blog has become less about me and more about what I believe others want.  I stopped writing about things I cared about and started to try and figure out what my readers (all 4.68 of them) would like.  After awhile I realized the problem.

If I write purely for my readers, you will get half assed and mediocre articles.  There will be no emotion or personal interest driving the article.  Unless I am interested in it, I will see no point in writing it.  I may force one out just to get something up, but that doesn’t do anyone any good.

Writing for others also made it hard to find topics to cover.  There aren’t many topics that will be right for everyone and the result is no post at all or they are all over the place to try and cover the entire audiance. There is no formula to follow that will guarantee good results.

From here on out I will get back to my roots.  I started blogging for me.  I wrote articles so that others can see my interests and opinions.  I want to put my energy back into something that I care about and hopefully the result will be higher quality and more frequent articles.  The posts will be about whatever I choose and can be anywhere from two lines to a 1000 word essay.

If you find yourself in the same situation as me then start writting for yourself. Write articles you would want to see and that you want others to know about. Put your opinion in there and take ownership for every word you place on your site, even if you end up being completely wrong.  This is my site and I want to be proud of it.
