I’ve been experimenting with different types of posts this week, including a review of a Dyson Ball Vacuum (which I enjoyed writing) to see whether I can sustain Selfish Blogger as a personal blog in the long run. The problem I’ve had in the past is having a very fluid remit. That’s not a medical condition, it just means I had no specific direction other than to get a post out. Funnily enough, having such a wide remit seems to stunt my creativity and also my productivity.
You’ll notice from some of my posts already that I’ve applied catchy (or cheesy) names like, Sublime Music, Sunday Love Songs and Midweek Madness. I’m discovering that purposing my output is helping me to focus and get some content written.
Monday’s unofficial title is, “All About Me Mondays“. I have a range of subject matter in mind but usually it will relate to me and my life. You might even say I’m being Selfish. (BTW I’ll never get tired of the selfish gags, so don’t go wasting your time hoping that I will.)
Tuesday’s unofficial title is, “Test Drive Tuesdays“. This will be me writing informal reviews or opinions about whatever takes my interest at the time. It could be a book, an electrical appliance, a service or another website.
Friday is going to be called, “Friday Frenzy“. It’ll be a mixed up, muddled up collection of all sorts of interesting (and possibly uninteresting) stuff.
Thursday’s unofficial title is, “Thoughtful Thursdays“.
Thoughtful Thursdays is about me interacting with other bloggers. This could be a guest post from a friend, it could be a reply to a meme, it could be highlighting another blogger’s efforts.
In the New Year I’m going to send out a list of questions to some of the bloggers I used to know to find out what they’re up to. When I dropped out of blogging a while ago and I lost touch it was something I came to regret. I still can never be the the guy who flits between hundreds of blogs dropping comments the way I used to but I can find a way to stay in the loop and keep the friendships going.
As for today’s post I’m just going to drop a straight link to a webpage where the authors have unwittingly gifted me with a summary of what they’re doing these days. I’ve followed them from the start of my own blogging career and I’ve kept in contact with them behind the scenes. The name of their game is Creative Productivity and the question answered is Where are we going? . I’ve you’ve got a second, pop over and see what Sean Platt and Dadvi Wright have been up to. It’s very impressive.
