Nervous blogger
3 September 2010
Okay, now that both my blogs are available for e-mail subscription, I feel way more nervous about posting. It’s kinda like when I’m sending an e-mail to a group. Even if it’s a group of people I feel 100% comfortable e-mailing individually, I have this panicky feeling when I send out a corporate e-mail. Is my tone okay? Will everybody get that joke, or just a handful of people?
In the past, if you wanted to read my thoughts, you had to actually make an effort. Now they can be delivered directly to your inbox. And something about that makes me feel like my thoughts need to be extra … something. Only I’m not really sure what you people want from me. Should I focus on being insightful? Funny? Should I talk more about my kids or writing? Have you had enough of my, “So I was at Costco yesterday…” kinds of posts?
I read that people read blogs because they want to know what their life is like. Here’s mine in a nutshell: BORING.
I mean that in the best of ways. I love my life. I love my family, my career, my house, my dog, my city. (I do not love my sleep schedule these days, but it’s temporary. Hopefully.)
But there’s a reason I can’t stand journaling. My life is not what books are made of. Nobody wants to read a diary of my day. Even me.
Just re-read my post. Seriously? 280 words on how, a year-plus into blogging, I’m still nervous and clueless? Good grief.
In summary:
You can now subscribe to my riveting blog by clicking here. It takes you to the Go Teen Writers site, and there’s a box on the left for both my author blog and GTW.
And unless you take the time to comment below about why you read the blogs you read, you can expect more of the same from me. Little of this, little of that.
Have a great weekend everybody!
