I Don't Know!
When I tell people I have a blog, and that I love to write, the first question they ask is what I write about. And I bloody hate it. Every time I hear it, I grit my teeth and form a tight smile because, well to be honest, I never know how to reply. *fyi, the theme of 'not-knowing' is going to be mentioned here. A lot. Just an early warning :)*
I'm still trying to find my line of thought when it comes to writing. I was going to say "niche" but I don't want to sound like some overly pretentious wannabe! Because of this, my posts are rather sporadic and random; they don't seem to link, which pisses me right off. Not that I want to categorise my blog into a certain genre of writing; I just sometimes think it would be easy to give my blog a 'type', as it were: like, a lifestyle blog, or travel writing, or reviews. I'd just like some definition.
Maybe that's what I'm trying to get at. This place is exactly that...a place. An empty sheet, a blank document, a plain page, ready for me to word-vomit all over it when inspiration strikes.
Because isn't that what writing is about? Maybe it's just me...I don't know!*told you*
It's my safety net but also manages to be somewhat out of my comfort zone. It's definitely my security blanket; I know I can write and I know I can write well, but the content I want to write about can be riskily controversial, controversially risky...if you read my earlier post about 'The Unpleasantries of Writing', you'll see my point - oh my, that was the most dire plug in the history of the world. Virtual apology extended.
I don't know.*yet again* Maybe I'm just overthinking the whole thing. I'm saying that I want to define my blog and give it a genre, yet I don't want to categorise it. I'm saying writing is both in and out of my comfort zone. I'm just a walking, talking, breathing, WRITING contradiction really! I'm thinking of a point and completely reversing it...
And not to sound like a complete cheesepuff, a lightbulb has literally just switched on in my brain. You know the feeling: when the fog lifts and all becomes clear, and you can't type quick enough in case you lose the flow! Thinking. I'm writing what I'm thinking. My blog is simply a stream of consciousness. It doesn't need to make sense - I mean, who's thoughts really make logical sense? It's just me sharing my perspective. I don't need to categorise it into anything else; I don't need to limit it to the confines of a genre. My blog is composed of my thoughts, feelings, ideas, and whatever weird and wonderful shit comes out of my mind. It's limitless. Endless. That should be good enough, right?
