I can write about perfume. Incessantly. Without worrying about whether I make any sense, or have any expertise to offer; I just ramble happily. So the other blog goes rolling along, with many silly posts and cat pictures and the occasional coherent observation.
I can't seem to write about gardening - or, for that matter, chocolate or bacon or fried chicken or murder mysteries or any of the other topics that are on topic for this blog - in the same way.
Why is that? It might, of course, just be practice. Maybe I need to write a few hundred gardening posts before I'm entirely comfortable writing nonsense about gardening. And, yes, I think that comfortably writing nonsense about gardening is a worthwhile goal at this point, because I have to be comfortable with the nonsense to have any hope of writing sense. I discussed that recently... in the other blog. In fact, come to think of it, the other blog also got the latest bacon and fried chicken post! That's not fair! This is the saturated fat blog!
Ahem. Anyway. The goal is to write just as much nonsense here, as I do there. So there.

I like this blog post. When you've got a topic you can just write about comfortably, it shows that you know something about it ... or at least that's often what it can mean. In my mind, you're a perfume expert.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melody! I like that rule. :) I enjoy the idea of being an expert.
