Hey all,
So I have a blog, but most of my blogs focus is on 'gee, what's on Anjasa's mind today?' I write about games and media, a lot, especially in regards to diversity or the lack of diversity in games. How to improve media, and how to give credit when credit is due for when a developer does something good but not great. I also write about societal reflections in media and how it affects us.
I enjoy looking at things and pulling it apart and analyzing why it works for me or why it doesn't. I've posted about roleplaying and writing, character creation, sexism in games, etc., and I enjoy it.
But it just feels as if I'm too wide spread, and have too diverse interests to really gain a lot of a following. The other side, though, is I can't just focus on one thing. I can't just talk about sexism in the media, or the lack of diversity in games, or whatever. I just end up feeling like I'm repeating myself and just as though I'm terribly boring.
I don't mind that this isn't entirely relevant to my writing (though most of the reflections I have on media, I try to be mindful of when writing and my characters often reflect this) but I'm just wondering what you guys might suggest, or how defined you think the bloggers niche should be.
Do you only read blogs that post about specific topics? I tend to read some that are rather focussed like Feministing and what not, but I also read blogs on a diverse range of topics.
What do you guys think?
