I just made a post on my blog about how the existence of flat-earthers explains the popularity of Donald Trump.
Now, my blog isn't political usually, but I do find both things funny, so I posted it.
In fact, my blog touches on many subjects: writing, publishing, editing, police work, English, programming, music, television, movies - even cooking and home improvement projects.
Ultimately my blog (http://leifwright.com) is an author platform blog, meaning it's designed to let readers of my books get to know me better and feel more connected to me so they'll be invested in whatever future projects I release. But I feel like if all I write about is writing, or what project I'm working on, readers will get bored and start ignoring it - and my work.
So what's your take? What subjects are good (or bad) for an author blog? Do you stick to writing and the satellites that orbit it, or is everything fair game?
