The theory is that everyone is an expert on something, and through blogging, a person can be that expert, even if it is something simple like "fashionable t-shirt expert."
My problem is I have a lot to say about a lot of different topics, but I would not consider myself an expert on anything. Do I really have a right to blog, if that is the purpose for blogging, and if I am not an expert? Am I selling myself short by believing I am not an expert? I have been trying for 5 or more months to write about something that's been turning around and around in my head, but I can't seem to get it to come out.
If I had one blog entry left to write, and upon having written it, I would die, what is the one thing you wish I would write about? Do I have something valuable in me to leave to others before I go? More importantly, perhaps I should turn the question around to myself. If I had one blog entry left before I die, what is the one thing I would want people to know? I suppose for the purposes of this line of questioning, I'll make the rule that the "I love you and goodbye" stuff has been gotten out of the way, so I can't write that.
I see blogs about people's photography, the journey of motherhood, style and fashion, style and fashion on a budget, DIY projects, DIY wedding projects, healthy foods, unhealthy foods, you name it and it is out there somewhere. But I don't think there is any one thing that I can safely say is "MY" area of expertise. Except "being me" and that... who really wants to try and be me? Its impossible and a crazy idea. Just tonight I was making faces at my webcam and being silly. Nobody really can be my kind of silly, they can try but they will just end up being their kind of silly.
So what am I getting at? I suppose its a strange and slightly neurotic mix of "I'm unique but I have nothing unique enough to interest people on a blog." Sometimes I feel I could write the book on being neurotic though. If I had a blog about how to be neurotic, do you think anyone would read it?
