I think the trick to having a successful blog is to turn stuff that isn't very interesting into material that can be talked about at the water cooler. Or, since most places I know don't have water coolers anymore, you can talk about my blog around the vending machines that sell bottled water. For example, I could say that I flew home this weekend. That's boring. But if I somehow started my story with how I went through airport security effortlessly and without delay... well, come to think of it, that's not a very exciting story either. I suppose I could tell the hilarious story of how I ordered a tasty beverage on the airplane and GOT EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED FOR! Can you believe the nerve of the stewardess? Hmm, now that I'm thinking about it, this whole goal of turning uninteresting stories into talking points isn't really working for me...
I don't know if it's because studying for the bar makes life extremely uninteresting or what, but this clearly isn't working for me tonight. So I'm going to ask for a virtual favor from my limited audience -- give me some suggestions on what to discuss in a future blog entry. This will help accomplish several goals. First, it'll pad my comment section making me feel better about myself. Second, it encourages reader/author interaction. And finally, it will give me something to talk about more than having nothing to talk about. It really can be anything at all. If I don't have an opinion on the requested topic, I'll research just enough to form an opinion. It'll be fun, I promise!

By posting my first comment, I feel like I'm the barrista who stuffs the tip jar with her own money in order to encourage people to tip more. Or, if you'd rather, I'm the street musician who tosses a couple five dollar bills in my guitar case so that others feel obligated to join in donating to the cause.
ReplyDeleteLOL oh Robert :)
ReplyDeleteI like to post about things that people wouldn't normally think about posting or talking about. Like food. I love posting recipes, obviously… but I also like posting about the things that are happening in my life. Things about my family, Adam, etc.
You ARE planning a wedding afterall….. maybe you could talk about the guys perspective of wedding planning?? Just an idea :)
Thank you for being the only person to post suggestions! That's a really good idea about the wedding planning stuff... I do have many opinions on the topic...
