A new direction

I've been having a lot of trouble keeping up with this blog. When I stop and try to think of why, it's very easy to come up with the answer - writer's block. I can never seem to come up with ideas for posts. My life seems very...uninteresting.

In contrast, the area of this blog that is updated weekly - sometimes more - is the section detailing what I'm reading. That content is always fresh. And it's something that I can always talk about if you give me half a chance. I'm not so great at remembering to write up reviews of all the books I read, though.

If A is the need to write and B is something I love to talk about and constantly have new material to discuss, then obviously they equal C - this blog needs to turn into a book blog. I know, there are a million book blogs out there and is there really a need for yet another? Probably not. But since when has that mattered?

Stay tuned for more content...more often...on a variety of titles and subjects! I'm getting all goose pimply just thinking about it!

    1. You've hit the nail on the head! Reviewing books is nothing new - I already do professional reviewing as part of my job - but I don't want this blog to be that structured. It will be interesting to find my unique reviewing voice for this forum. Something looser and more flowing, I think, with more of an essay feel? I'm not sure yet...but I'm working on it. :)
