Winter must be coming–I’ve decided to start a blog. I suppose the urge is striking in anticipation of cold, dark nights with little desire to do more than huddle before the glow of my computer monitor. I made this decision once before, and my second post landed me a mention under “Who’s blogging” on the Washington Post’s website. People from all over the world visited my site, and I was amused for a day. Then I quit. I’m not really that in to blogging.
Except I keep finding I have things to say on various subjects. My muse never stays with only one topic for very long, however. No sooner do I think I want to blog about politics than I discover I’d rather write about the interesting conversation I overheard on the bus about a woman who drowned as a child and lived to tell about it.
I suppose it’s better to blog on a particular topic if you want to build and maintain an audience, but what good is that if the blogger’s mind tends to wander? I have an ambivalent muse. So perhaps the topic of this blog is “whatever happens to strike my fancy at the moment.” Yes, that will do, I think.
