I must be seriously out of my ever-lovin’ mind, but I’m thinking about starting up another blog once this whole NaBloPoMo business is finished for the year. This one is good for a lot of release and stuff of interest (to me), but doesn’t focus, and my pro blogs are all about adoption, a topic that has my passion, but is restricting, nonetheless.
There’s not a day that goes by that something arising from my trawl for blog fodder, my perusal of newsal, doesn’t have me bursting at the seams with too much to say about events in the real world.
From this isolated little perch here in the Indian Ocean, a great deal of the stuff of life beyond these shores looks darned silly, menacing, imprudent, overindulgent or worse, and it seems a glance from a perspective that’s not marinated in the au jus du jour just might be interesting … perhaps, again, to me alone, but personal blogs are, after all, the journalistic equivalent of singing in the shower.
From my old hometown newspaper to the Times times at least three (New York, London, L.A.), to the WaPo and the WSJ, I read what’s fit to print, and it might be nice for me to be able to print what gives me fits.
We’ll see how it goes, but January could see yet another place where my opinionated blather goes public. Another year, another blog?
Speaking of …
On the women-over-50 group at NaBloPoMo it was mentioned that this demographic … women over 50 … is the fastest growing in blogs and web design on the Net. Apparently, we all have something to say. (I’m guessing our husbands already know.)
I love that, the journalistic equivalent of singing in the shower! Great!
Yet another blog? Well, why not?
I will be very sad when this Nablo thing is over, blogging there is like coming into a whole new world, another language, other friends, I will seriously miss it!
So yes, maybe I should consider starting another one too, in order not to loose contact with some of the new friends I’ve met here?
Can’t wait to subscribe to your new blog!
Keep us posted 🙂
Hi! I came here via Nerevised’s page on NaBloPoMo. Caught sight of your avatar and had to have a closer look, then discovered you are also a great writer. Mind if I add you?
Thanks for the friend add, Stella, and the encouragement Jientje and Lisa.
