I haven't written in a while mostly because I have been busy getting settled in to my new place and continuing my job search. One of the things that's been bothering me with this blog is that it does not seem to attract a large following. I have my small group of readers who I truly appreciate, but those are mainly people who happen to know me personally. The main problem is the fact that I chose to write about a variety of topics thus leading to my blog title "Erratic Thoughts". This has led me to wonder if I need to change my blog or open a new blog.
As I have been considering my new blog I have gone over a few different concepts. I thought about mental illness, but I already tried that and I found it a bit tedious and depressing at times. Another possibility is sports, but that is something I have become less and less interesting in plus there are many sportswriters out there. Entertainment is a possibility, but that involves having funds to go out to many events plus again in some ways my interests have lessened. As I continued to think of every kind of topic and shot them all down, I started to think about what do I most enjoy reading. Mystery novels are intriguing, but I am not planning on writing a novel at this time nor do I want to review them. I truly enjoy reading advice columns such as Dear Abby and Ask Amy. Wait a second! All the general advice columns I have read have been written by women. I have always been a good listener and one who many people have turned to for advice so this sounds like a thought. I don't claim to be an expert or a psychologist, but I have a lot of experiences and opinions. I figure this will be an interesting thing to do and hope to do it for fun and maybe help a few people in the meantime.
