OK, I need a theme...

I've been writing in blogs a lot this week. A LOT! Almost every day I write a couple of entries. Unfortunately, I have four blogs I update-- well, actually in the last week or so I've only been updating three of them, but that's a lot. And one of the blogs is completely out of sight-- it's on a local server I keep here at home. No one really reads that one except myself. The only blog that gets read is the one on MySpace, and I don't really feel like promoting that because it's so butt ugly.


But the point stands-- I've been blogging a lot in the last week. So what? What I've written on visible blogs is easily available, but it's not very interesting. And no one would seek it out based on just random thoughts I arbitrarily decide I want to write down. Who cares that I bought tomatoes, that I believe I was duped by my early childhood learning, and that my blogs are out of control? If you don't know me, this is not likely to interest you in the least. It's barely tolerable for those who do know me. Sometimes it's not even interesting to me (gulp, there's a confession).


In order to have a blog that readers will flock to, the blog needs a theme which will grab their attention, and then it needs to work the theme. I'm using all of these blogs to practice creative writing, but I need to come up with a subject and write exclusively (or at least mostly) about that. Maybe if I can do that, I'll attract a reader or two, and hey, maybe I can even start using Google Ads and pay for some of my bandwidth. Maybe I can sell some books.
