I'm looking for your thoughts on my blogging future...
But now, I find that I have some time to start writing (or should that be typing?) again.
The problem I have is that my previous series, "The Virtual Road Trip" seems to have bogged down. I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew with trying to write about every single settlement on US Route 1 between Maine and Florida. I'm part way through part 7 and haven't even got as far as New York. I was getting less and less comments, and to be honest, I was just getting bored with it.
I feel that if I carry on with this series to the bitter end, I will just be writing to a poorer standard just because I'm fed up with it. I sometimes wonder why I set myself these gigantic challenges.
So anyway, I thought I'd take a quick poll amongst you lovely people to see what direction I should take.
My options are...
1. Carry on regardless with an ever decreasing blog I'm not happy writing.
2. Write a few one-off blogs. (I have a couple in the pipeline anyway)
3. Take on a new challenge (details below)
4. Give up completely (not really an option, just put it in for context)
Possible new series...
Five Villages of... in a similar vein to my Five Islands series
So, over to you...should I abandon the Road Trip and get back to "normality" whatever that is?
I would say to go with option three. However, I wouldn't mind seeing a revival of your "songs whose lyrics make no sense" series.
As it happens I have a couple of songs already noted in my "little black book" for inclusion in a future blog !
Most of my other travel was many years ago and there are some, but not many, photos. Most of my memories are in my head unfortunately.
I will look into the idea a little though, see if I can come up with something. Thanks for the reply!
I think I may just put the series on ice for a while and maybe return at a later date.
(Was "Swedens" an auto correct ?)
To append and opinion, I would like the Five Villages of... series, or even Five _____ of anything. Could be Mountains, Temples (historic sites), Buildings, Rivers, you name it. As a geography buff I would be accepting of whatever you put out there, as long as it's up to YY standards :)
It will be up to my usual standard, this is partly the reason I have more or less decided to end the Road Trip. I didn't want to put out a blog that was sub-standard, and I could feel the series heading that way.
On a positive note, I already have my first five villages lined up on my list.
I'll think it over though, thanks for the suggestion.
