Thing About Thursday: What happened to Wednesday?

Yeah.  Wednesday.  Remember Wednesday?

I totally forgot.  Well, that's not true.  I remembered my blog at two different points in my day; points at which I was unable to jump right into it.  So here ya go.

Read my bio.  I'm a work in progress!

Blogging is interesting to me.  This may be a bit of a boring post but it's what is on my mind right now.

I see so many adorable, really chic-looking, well done blogs.  And mine seems, well.  Mediocre.

It is mediocre.  That's not a negative or positive; it's a neutral statement about a middle-of-the-road blog.

I've seen much worse.

I've seen much better.

I've tried blogging.  I like it....sometimes.  Sometimes it stresses me out.   If I can get stressed over 14 followers not getting their feed, what would happen if I became viral like Inspired by Charm?  That guy is doing things.  His pins are amazing, his B & B looks adorable, and he's always got something really neat going on.

I'm guessing he's single and childless.  That makes me feel better about the fact that the only things I actually try from Pinterest are the recipes.

Do I want that kind of online success?

I don't know!

I don't think I do.  I don't think I want that obligation.  I don't think this is the job for me.  It's a hobby.  It needs to be, I think.

I don't think, unless I'm getting a salary, that I will ever devote the time and learning to figuring out how to make my blog be so attractive, to finding all the super ideas and photos out there to link to, to figuring out who's hot in the blogosphere so I can link up....

I really don't know what "linking up" means.

I get frustrated that I've pigeon-holed myself into these categories.  Sometimes I come up with really funny and interesting stuff, but it doesn't fit the magazine-style categories I've created.  So it flutters out into nowhere.

But to have a successful readership, I'm supposed to find a niche.

I can't find it.

I don't know what this means for my future of blogging.  I'm not ready to give up.  Just sharing my...itch.

I think my pastor would say that God's getting me ready for transition.

And my Daddy in heaven is probably getting a good chuckle, because I'm surely his most impatient child!

Onward.  Tune in tomorrow for Fashionista Friday.  I think I might blog about how the heck I'm supposed to get into a swimsuit this weekend because not only have I not lost any weight despite running and dieting, I've gained a couple of pounds.  Yay.
