I have been thinking about my blogs. Actually, I have mostly been thinking about my “main” blog. I feel like it has lost its voice.
When I lived in Germany, my main blog had an edge. I was an expatriate. I had interesting stories to tell concerning culture, language, and life with a “foreigner.”
Now what? I feel like I have lost my edge. I am just another blogger with an uninteresting life… Not to mention that I am an unemployed librarian in my 30s living with my mother. I try to take my day to day experiences and make them humorous and interesting, but is it enough?
I have to ask myself, who do I write my blog for? Is it really for me as I like to claim? If I only wrote for myself, I wouldn’t worry about my audience. I wouldn’t be concerned about how much or little information I want to share with my readers. I think about a lot of things that might make interesting reading, but do I want to share those thoughts? Do I want to publish them for all to see?
Unemployed Librarians says:
Welcome home. Another unemployed librarian here. Also been an expat in Europe. All that international experience didn’t amount to much in the hundreds of applications I’ve submitted to fill positions at libraries.
If you ever want to vent or conspire, feel free to contact me.
