I've Said it Before...
Jan. 8th, 2018 07:19 pmI'll say it again, blogging is not my forte. What I don't think I've ever done is explain why that is the case. One would think that being a writer would make me a great blogger! I should be able to articulate my thoughts perfectly into a blog form and hit post.
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. The biggest thing I struggle with is content. I can talk about myself to a point, but after a while my stories start to repeat. No one likes to read the same story told over and over again. Another thing I don't like to do is regurgitate things that other people have said about a specific topic and pass them off as my own. As much as I would love to give you insight into the industry that hasn't been shared, I can't. Everything I have learned, I have learned from someone else. It's beautiful, and it'd be wrong of me to claim to be the source of the wisdom.
It does leave me with little to blog about. I'm not one of those people who outwardly shares every opinion I have all over the internet. My opinions on matters are well guarded and reserved for environments where I feel comfortable. Also, it's so easy to misinterpret things on the internet, let alone to engage in good solid discussion. I love one-on-one deep conversations. That's the introvert in me, and those introvert habits occur online in social media as well.
I admire people who can so openly share themselves on a public platform to strangers. It's a discomfort I can work around when needed, and I have. I've given speeches and done presentations, but even then those are so different than the internet. The internet is a completely different beast that I am learning to tame one day at a time.
So with all of that said, what do you want me to blog about? Do you have questions? Things you want to know more about, but have never had anyone tackle before as a topic? I'd love to blog about something new for you.
