What do you write about?

[Former_Member]

Right now I'm mostly drafting posts for my blog to coincide with my shop opening. Right now it looks like I'm mainly writing how-to and inspirational posts, things that involve the reader. I think I'll write more about myself as I become comfortable with blogging.

So my question for you is what do you write about on your blog? What kind of content do you like to read about?

My blog is a personal blog. I started writing it for friends and family years ago. It has grown and involved. I do post about my art and tutorials, but mainly I just write about whatever in on my mind. I realize this might not be the most successful strategy but i feel like I need to be true to why I started blogging.

I will say, maybe it just because I started blogging as a personal blogger, but when people don't share a little of themselves in their blog I drop them from my reader. I can get impersonal DIY projects and inspiration photos from magazines. I like blogs because they provide a little window into people's lives.

Best of luck!

Recycling and upcycling. I'm also going to create a gallery of my upcycled greeting cards I've made as an inspiration for viewers.

I started my blog in mid-2010 to get over my burnout as a corporate writer. After I launched my etsy shop (upcycled clothing) six months later, it evolved into a place to observe the creative process as well as the whimsical and quirky things. As I am a dance teacher, there are posts about the handmade dance costumes I've sewn from thrift store bed linens and vintage slips.

The overall theme is a journey I invite my readers to join me in as I navigate my life as an immigrant baby boomer reinventing herself.

I agree with Jaime Barks—I like to get a sense of the blogger as a person; otherwise it just feels like any other publication put out by an anonymous entity.
