Blogs should have a focus, right? That was the approach I planned to take when I decided to start a blog. First, I thought I might write a blog about cooking with pulses (chickpeas, dried peas, beans, and lentils.) A blog like that would allow me to share recipes with my family and friends while I chronicle my adventures as an amateur chef cooking with products that most people avoid because they don't know how to prepare them. I could singlehandedly change the way people view pulses with a blog like that!
Or not.
Then, I thought about writing a blog embracing - nay, promoting - my inherent geekiness. I could review games. Share about my adventures in Azeroth. Discuss the relative merits of using sentence fragments for emphasis. I could singlehandedly change the way people view geeks with a blog like that!
Er. No.
A blog about weight loss? Meh. Finding myself? Nah. The great wide world of communications? I'll pass.
I admire people who write about those types of things - the people who have that kind of focus. But I've decided I can't do that. I'm not a cook. I'm not a geek. I'm not a communicator or a grammar aficionado or a pug mom or a wife or a book lover. I'm not some words in a list separated by 'or'; my words are separated by 'and.'
So, that's what I'm going to write about: all of the things I am.
