Blogging – that time-consuming activity that a writer ought to do. Ought?! Yeah, ought – because it is a perfect outlet for that person who needs to express. Writers are, by default, people who have the need to express. Bonus points for need-to-express people who write well. And it can be worth their while.
There are many blog sites. For a blog site to be successful, it has to be popular. What makes a blog popular? It could be many things. It’s like asking how a person can end up being popular. Social media is a microcosm of real life gone viral. It really isn’t so “micro” anymore, is it?
So here I am wondering what I should write about. I used to write a lot – and I mean so much that I actually earned from it. This was the precursor of blogging – article writing for real life publications like magazines and newspapers;, later, there were websites as well. I did not really go into blogging when it started. By then, I was too busy with real-life work and motherhood.
I still enjoy writing, be sure of that. I still feel the need to express, but I am not the run-of-the-mill blogger. I belong to the era of assigned topics. I was called in by people who needed something written about a specific topic. I did reviews of gadgets, music and shows. So now that I have the freedom to write about anything I like, I am honestly at a loss.
Yes, I do not know what to write about. The answer – write about what I like.
So what am I interest in? Music, TV shows (no, not telenovelas or Koreanovelas), movies (sorry, not Tagalog movies either), books (yes, definitely books). What else? Food maybe? Perhaps I can cross that bridge when I encounter something else I like…
So here goes my attempt at reviving my blogging prowess… “prowess”!!! LOL, right…
