I'm slowly working my way through a new book - Blogging for Writers. It's convinced me that, to be a valid professional writer, I need a blog. It makes sense - I need someplace to send readers and potential publishers and agents to see my work, my thoughts, my "stuff." What stuff exactly, I'm not a hundred percent sure yet. That's in a future chapter, the author promises. But a blog is something I need, and something that may get my writer's block chiseled down into something sculpturesque rather than wallish. For that reason alone, I'm going to give it a go.
I'm just not sure, however, whether this is that blog, or whether I need to start again in another forum... WordPress, maybe? Can I do what I want to do with a blog on Blogger? Do I even really know what that is? Right now, my concerns are pretty basic. Can I get a landing page for a decent "About Me" blurb, for example, rather than using that Google template I currently have? (Answer - Yes, I can... and yes, I did!) Do I need more interactivity? Is my title too long, too vague, too... I dunno. It's me, but does it convey the right sense of who I am as a writer?
As the King once pontificated in Rogers and Hammerstein musical form, "Is a puzzlement."
