What to write about (#weeklyblogpost week 3)

Those who have followed my blog over many years might be surprised by me suddenly starting to blog again and with strange subject matter to… please let me explain.

There was a conversation amongst my twitter friends about blogging and how it was difficult to maintain the enthusiasm to blog and was anyone reading them anyway. It was my old mate Dan Slee that suggested that we form a weekly blog club. We would all blog once a week and submit it to the blog club for all to read. The idea quickly spread and there are many of us who are now members.

So now I have three sets of readers of my blog. Well I think I may have more than three people reading this but sometimes I do wonder. ;)

First group are all my regular readers who have know me for years. Second group are mostly the people who I have know on twitter for a while, who know me but not as well as the first group. Then of course there are people who have only just met me through the blog club.

I like the idea of the blog club but don’t want to alienate my regulars. Do my new friends want to read about how I eat too much carbs on Monday and made myself ill. I think it was that, I must have forgotten that I’m a diabetic. Of course there are just getting a first impression of me.

Similarly do regular readers want to hear my rants on social media stuff…. Maybe but I’m sure they want to hear about how I am etc.

Or maybe I’m trying to please all the people all the time. I should just stick to blogging what I like and hope that all of you find something of interest at some point… maybe.

Writing what you want to write, writing about what interests or enthuses you, is the best starting point if you're not writing for work purposes. Your enthusiasm will come through better, and that should attract more readers.

I'm looking forward to whatever you have to say on carbs and social media :-)
