This blog has not gotten the attention that it deserves lately. This is in part due to a crazy hectic summer that had me on the road 2 of every 3 days in June and July, scrambling like mad to stay caught up on the days I was home.

But the dearth of posts is also due in part to me not knowing what to blog about. When I first started 90,000 Words of Delusion, it was a place for me to share my writing journey. I was learning so much, so fast, and it was great to be able to share that. I’m still learning a lot, but for some reason I don’t feel that’s enough on which to build a blog. It’s certainly an important part of my platform, but while I have gained a great deal of experience in the world of writing, I can hardly consider myself an expert. In addition, I would like this blog to appeal to people outside of the writing community as well.

To be honest, I don’t really see myself as an expert in anything, and this has been my main hang-up in trying to understand and develop my blogging “platform.” I’ve been lead to believe that becoming an “expert” is the way to go with blogging, and the best way to reach a focused audience.

However, my interests are many and varied, and I bristle at the thought of picking one and becoming The Authority. In fact, I’ve come to realize one of the things I like most about writing is that it allows me to research and explore many different areas of life.

So while the wisdom of the blogosphere says I need to become an expert to have a successful blog platform, I’m going to experiment with blogging about various topics that I find interesting. If I’m lucky, the topics I pick will resonate with some of you. In any case, I’ll have a lot more fun picking topics to blog about.

Hopefully this experiment will succeed. But even if it succeeds, it has to be better than the dreaded blog of silence.
