My blog is troubled ... it is troubled by its lack of identity.
In a moment of clarity it experienced an epiphany and realised it is genre less ... it is without genre.
It sees all the other happy blogs out there ... securely cocooned within the comfort of their chosen genres ... be it fashion blog, beauty blog, mummy blog, gardening blog, crafty blog, cooking blog, arty blog, IT blog, social commentary blog, whimsical blog, famous celebrity blog, etc ... and it cries.
It doesn't belong ... anywhere ... it feels so ALONE.
I try to tell it that its OK to be a sort of miscellaneous blog ... an anything goes blog. I tell it to embrace its freedom to be anything it wants on any given day. It need not be contained within the parameters of a genre ... it will rise above a label, a tag, a title. It will live beyond the square ... it will rise like a phoenix from the ashes ... it will soar ... you can never take it's FREEDOM!
Phew!
So as I was saying ... my blog has no genre ... bummer!
it sits firmly in the "redheads that kick ass genre!!" Al x

I second that comment. Genres are too limiting.
ReplyDeleteAgreed ... I'd bore myself silly within a week if I only ever wrote about one thing :0)

Absolutely agree. Your blog is about LIFE. It needs no catagory. Keep on doing what you're doing!

A lot of blogs, when you read them for a while, end up being about all sorts things, even if they use kids or crafts or style or interiors or whatever to hang it on. It's fine to have a personal blog, about whatever you fancy, keeps us on our toes! I like bloggers who let you in a bit, who share what they're thinking so you get a sense of their personality. That's your genre! xxx
ReplyDeleteTotally agree ... I love getting to know people ... via their blogs :0)

Oh don't worry too much - I think all blogs kind of delve into whatever the blogger wants to write about. As time goes on they change too don't they! It's nice to find a blog with whatever goes on it.
