A Bit Of This And A Tad Of That!

I blog. Hence I blog. I don’t talk much about my blog at home. They know I blog but only recently they discovered my Nibbles. Still we don’t talk much about it.

Blogging, I started it as a hobby. Now after 3+ years, I name it my Profession. However I’ve enjoyed the process of this evolution. The other day, when my cousin introduced me to her friends as a Blogger, they were all excited to know about the blogosphere.

I am Meera. I am a Blogger.

I am proud to say it. Her friends started asking more about my blog and tips to start a blog.

'What do you blog about?', they asked.

Basically, I tend to write random things and that's what my blog name suggests. One day I write a poem and the next day I post my love for food. I even talk about the books I read, the places I visit and also have written about fashion, styles and shopping. Another day you get to read short stories and there are days I publish product reviews. I even ended up writing technology posts. Does my blog fall under the category of food blogging, fashion blogging, creative blogging or reviews?

I also get to pursue my interest in photography. I may not be a great photographer but then knowing my photos are published in my blog and just that thought drives me to click better shots. Does that mean this is a photo blog? Well, yeah you can call it that too.

But when I write this and that and of course, all of the above, which category should I say my blog falls under? I always get confused especially at times of choosing one particular category while submitting my blog for awards and nominations.

I said after a pause, 'I am a lifestyle blogger!'.

About the tip, well, I have only one if you are interested in starting a blog. Just have only one blog and whatever you write, maintain your own style and stick to it. I say this because I have seen people with more than one blogs but then not all the blogs are active after a while. You know, it takes so much time and effort to maintain one good blog. So keep one blog and showcase what you are best at. Cos I bet those who love your photography would definitely love to read your poems too.

I enjoy writing. So why restrict myself in what I want to write? I learnt as a lifestyle blogger, I don't have to restrict myself with a particular category. I have freedom to choose my topics to write.

'Btw, what’s a Lifestyle blog?' my cousin asked.

I sat straight and smiled, 'A lifestyle blog is where I write whatever I am pleased to write!'

So, tell me what niche your blog is?
