Daily Blog Report II
I was reading this morning in ProBloggers Matrix about the importance of focusing in your blogging efforts. Don’t try to be everything to everybody. Don’t blog about this, that and the other thing. Because if you do try and cover the world it will frustrate your readers. And, Lord knows, I don’t want to frustrate my reader. He’s already disturbed because he says I don’t pay him enough to read my blog every day. But he complains about having just one day off every month, too. So I don’t know how how much credence to give his feedback.
I don’t know if I’m focused enough. But I try to stick to a few subjects based on my experiences with getting older and trying to have a good time. That’s basically it. It’s meant to be encouraging to folks who aren’t too sure about getting old or older. Especially the ones with RLS. We are in a fraternity of sorts. But when I say that the best years of my life started after I hit the big five ohhhh I sincerely mean it. And everything here should reflect that fact in some way. And my plan is to transmit this to you through osmosis or with the help of Harry Potter. He is available now, you know, for contracting work. My plan is also to stay away from quotation marks as much as possible because I hate them. And finally to not use the words “I” “me” or “my” more than is absolutely necessary. Say twenty five times per post. Because it’s not about I/me/my. It’s about we/us/our.
The author of ProBloggers Matrix is a very focused and productive guy. And he is going to help way more people than I could ever even pay to read my blog. Because my mind doesn’t work the same way as his does. I often fly around like a bee looking for honey. I’m an ADD sort of person. So ProBloggers Matrix will be a great help to me in terms of being disciplined and focused. Maybe it can help you too. Oh, I almost forget to say that he was someone who stopped by to say hi at the BlogCatalog yesterday. It really is a nice neighborhood to “live in”. I’m not sure exactly how I got in. I enjoyed the conversation with my new member neighbor friends about sharing links and the inadvisability and futility of doing so. Beth will tell you that I would rather drive an extra ten miles than get involved with a lot of traffic. High volume traffic is not the friend of the “guy whose goal is to feel good in his fifties.”
Fortunately, we don’t even have to think about future zoning for that here. Is there a blog out there about cricket farming?? Hmm, maybe it’s not too late to switch…
