I’m at that point again where I am running out of blog ideas. I know I am behind on a couple of my parodical posts (i.e. HMDYK) but I am in need of more ideas. Last year I did a monthly “Top 5” of something related to the movies and perhaps that’s something worth revisiting.
Maybe I should try to write more movie reviews. As part of my Monthly Movie Theme I try to watch something new (usually part of a streaming service). Perhaps, regardless of how recent the movie is, I should still write some kind of post about it? I know there are some great movies available on Hulu, Amazon Prime and HBO Max (I no longer have Netflix, their content isn’t worth the price anymore).
Write What You Know
This is an old piece of writing advice authors often hear when struggling to write. The problem is I feel like what I know is a bunch of minute and not enough substance. I probably know too much about the Star Wars universe and that only appeals to a limited audience (not that I have an extensive audience). I do plan to continue writing about Star Wars but I need to expand my list of topics.
Honestly, I wish I could write more tech related topics. I work in software development, I’ve been a software engineer since I finished college. However I often feel like I’m more of a jack-of-all-trades and a master-of-none; meaning I feel like I don’t have an “expert level” understanding of something to write about.
I’d love to figure out how to grow my audience, so if you happen to come here frequently, please leave me a comment on which posts you enjoy and any suggestions you have of new/more topics. Remember, if you are leaving a comment for the first time, it must be approved before it appears.
Thanks.
