I want to start a blog...

afterthefact · 11.13.2008, 09:59 AM

...not for the attention, because I actually dislike attention, but just for the fun of it. But I'm not a writer or photographer, which seem to make for easy blogs. I am a musician, but I don't record enough to keep things rolling. SO I need a theme.

Any ideas?

You clearly want attention.

could be.

you can always make your blog a depository of interesting stuff you find on the web.. that can include photos and videos and general musings..

also, you don;'t have to be a photographer to enjoy the art of the *snapshot* - you can easily document trivial happenings in your life via photos..

it'll make one hell of a nostalgic trip within a few years..

That is an idea I had, just a sort of free flow of thought?

if it is interesting to you it is bound tgo be interesting to someone else, you know?

good point; i guess that would be my only fear, that it would become an embarassment to me

As much as I may not like attention, bad attention is even worse...

just start one and write, don't think about it.

at all.

Rob Instigator · 11.13.2008, 05:45 PM

it is strange though to think of who may be reading what you post. in forums it is different, because peopel go there to read and to comment, but on a blog, people have to like how you write, you know?

I've had entirely psuedonymous blogs in the past. I wasn't very successful (on my own, personal terms) but you may well be.

Go with everyneurotic with a dash of instigator.

If that fails you can write in the vein of a female high school mallrat.
