When I started blogging years ago, I have tons of things to say. And I guess I might been vomiting anything that came to my head without too much thought if anyone find them boring or not. I was so inspired that I had to post everything. Somehow it's just easier back then because everything seemed new and I might have thought sharing whatever I want is better than not sharing anything at all. There's a different mentality then, I suppose.
These days there are still things I want to share but I guess not as much as before so I mostly don't share them. Plus, I forget easily. One moment I have an idea and then I lost it the next because I didn't write it down. So less posts, less blogging, pretty much less of everything. I'm okay with it but I guess I'm losing readers for lack of new posts. But at least I have seven or so readers so I'm not talking to myself or so I think.
If you're a long-time blogger, do you find you have less things to post now compare to when you first started blogging?
This is the main reason why I have an eclectic-with-a-capital-E blog. I made the decision when I first started blogging not to restrict my topics to one general theme. Instead, anything goes! I blog about whatever strikes my fancy. That way I never run out of subjects or topics to address with the written word or with memes. And blogging rarely seems dull or boring to me.
ReplyDeleteDebra: Your blog is very eclectic and maybe that's what I like the most - anything goes. I did start my blog the same way, just post anything and everything but I guess in time, I kind of settled on certain things and kept at it. Of course I can post just about anything but it had to interest me.

I agree. I'm lucky to get out one post a week and, believe me, they are boring - even to me
ReplyDeleteBarbara: One post a week sounds good but I think if you're still blogging, then there must be something we want to share but just couldn't decide.

I seem to be a natural journal keeper so whatever comes up that interests me I blog
ReplyDeleteChristine: I wish I can be a natural journal keeper.

I feel the same way. I think most of my life and posts are boring. But I have blog friends that I like to hear from and they say they like to hear from me, so I post the boring stuff sometimes. Or depending on your perspective, it's all boring.
ReplyDeleteLive and Learn: I think everyone have varying interest so what interest someone may not interest another. But I prefer to be a picky blogger so I only post what I thought would interest me.

I always have stuff to post about with my eBay selling, thrifting, my pursuit of art and a college degree (at 66). I have a Countdown to Christmas and some years I participate in the April A to Z challenge. There are plenty of blog hops and get togethers of like minded peeps.
ReplyDeleteTami Von Zalez: There are blog hops but I find there are less and less of them, at least, those that interest me. But I do like when people share their endeavors, such as getting a college degree like you said.

Jamie (jannghi.blogspot.com): I chose to make a blog abut anything I wanted to talk about, instead of just restricting it to one specific topic. I could never handle more than one blog.
ReplyDeleteJamie: I've tried the whole blogging at more than one blog and it wasn't for me either. I think a blog with all kind of topice is more interesting because you'll never know what people might like.
