Ask a question to get an answer

So for the second task from Rediscover Your Blogging Groove project. I have to answer a question from my readers or ask a question yourself.

As you can see from my blog, I am just starting out and had not have much visitors.
There is only one comment from Natalie W (Thanks again, natalie) who ask about my template to which I think I have answered adequately.

So I ask myself this question:

What is my niche for this blog?

This is actually a question I need to ask myself even before I start this blog. But as my first blog, I treat all this as a learning process and it better late than never. To tell the truth, I really have no idea what niche I want to be in. At the start of this blog I will try to use freeware, read books, listen to music, read website and blogs that interested me and write about them. But as I read back on my archive, I found that as I jump from topic to topic, even my own attention starts to waver. Now I understand, unless you write fascinating and memorable post day after day, you would need a niche to appeal to readers of the same inclinations.

Reflecting on these issues leads me to my main motive for blogging in the first place. I am always interested in writing and just need a platform to write without too much pressure.

So to answer my own question, “What is my niche for this blog?”

I would say writing about the writing process, the tools of the trade of writing and the motivations for writing. Of course, day to day, if I find anything interesting to write about, I will still write about them. This year long experiment will be a interesting journey and I hope to continue for as long as I can.

Now, that’s a stimulating task. Thanks, Darren.
