I'm having similar thoughts as I start to grow my blog, regarding its identity and what will appeal to readers. Thanks for your reflections.

Lately, the 'older' 20-something has written about personal branding and sacrificed time and content here for landing and learning the new J.O.B.

I like that the blog is growing WITH you, not against you, as you seem to imply. reflective.

I usually write in a joking tone, but if that doesn't come across effectively what I write means something complete different. I struggle with this issue all the time.

It's a tough balance but you'll work it out. Blogging consistently is tough because you are feeling unsure about material or feel like you're letting people down.

Touche. <br /><br />Although, I don't think I blog too often - or have - negatively about others. Enough to hurt anyone.

Haha. Touche.

Although, I don't think I blog too often – or have – negatively about others. Enough to hurt anyone. Yikes.

I guess it's all been a learning process, here.

I think people read your blog because they enjoy coming along on your crazy/funny/relatable life journey.

Unfortunately, a by-product of anyone blogging his or her personal life is that there will inevitably be unintended consequences (i.e. hurting people). Readers want the drama – your subjects might not want the attention, even when "anonymous."

When you blog about familiar people, you are putting their lives out in the open without their consent. Whatever you decide, just please, do not censor out the bacon content. :)

Sincerely,
Ex's new girlfriend
