I've been thinking about my "hook" for my blog to make it relevant, poignant and attract readership. I will say it would help if I posted more than once a quarter, but I digress. I look at other blogs and they have a theme, be it "The life and times of a restaurant waiter, chef, busboy, or any other profession in the restaurant industry," (of which I'm not a part), or "How to" blogs are quite popular, as well, such as; "How to cook, write, garden, travel or make your way through the Amazonian rain forest being chased by vampire bats" (they live there, I looked it up). I'm not sure if there is a blog about that, but give it some time. There are blogs about politics (for which I have a myriad of opinions and no facts to back them up), sex lives (ewww!), or sports (which, sorry, not a sports kinda chick either).
There is something that could be mildly interesting. Perhaps a blog about what I'm reading for the moment and my reviews/comments. I have a BS in Economics (take that for what you will) and, quite frankly, I may not be the most qualified person on the subject of literature. However, I love it. I love books and the written word. I even love it in different languages. I get Twitter tweets from Dictionary.com that's how much I love words. And maybe someday, I'll have an advanced degree to back up my literary opinions. Yet, I still have them now. This blog could possibly be a foray into an online book club, of sorts. Who knows?
And truth be told, such as many bloggers out there, I do have my creative writing on the side. This blog could maybe help me flex my writing chops (mixed metaphor). If only I would stay consistent. Readers, if there are any out there, I pledge to update this blog at least twice a week...
Stay tuned for my thoughts on "Julie & Julia" by Julie Powell. After seeing the movie by Nora Ephron, I quickly ordered it from my local library.
