So I've decided to start blogging again. Mainly because I've figured out its going to help streamline my thought processes, act as a visual diary for myself, maybe help me in my future yet undecided business and hopefully inspire others.
It's been a long time coming and there is so much to explore regarding blogging that its downright confusing and has prevented me from actually starting at all.
My initial question to myself was ' what on earth am I going to write about?' Followed quickly by, 'does anyone really care?'
On contemplation I've discovered that I've got so much to write about that now that simple fact has caused a bit of a drama, plus I care. Or at least if I want to get my shit together I need to care.
My life is so diverse with so many things to write about, should I just choose one thing to blog about? I feel like that fully limits who I am. Would my readers be interested in reading about so many diverse things? Would I keep a regular following if one week I wrote about Ayurveda and alcohol the next, motorbikes the next week then art or consciousness? Then, how long should a blog be? Should I write in long hand or straight on the computer or iPad? Does it matter? The importance of writing longhand vs typing does make a difference, I've read this over and over in various places.
Plus I want my writing to be authentic, truthful and real. Of course this means exposing my innermost self to my reader and on any given day I fully manage to give myself the shits let alone anyone else!
What to name the blog? Do I run with the name purplefunkything that I've had for eons or do I start some thing new?
In the long run I'm guessing that these things will automatically sort themselves out through me just starting the process and blogs will probably separate the,selves into their own categories with their own identities.
To start with my blogging is really being written for me. To help me be a better writer and create more clarity direction and purpose in my life with a future view of helping me start my own, as yet undefined new career and I'm inviting you, the reader, to join me on my life adventures.
