I’m having tremendous fun with my blog, but I’m starting to wonder if it seems narcissistic. I had a lovely dinner with my good friend Angie the other night at Cafe du Soleil (Broadway & 104) and if I’m remembering the details of the conversation correctly, she said that if she did a blog she would want it to have a specific focus. My friend/colleague, Joe Phillips, is a composer/conductor, and he has a blog exclusively devoted to his ensemble, Numinous. It’s very impressive, informative, and quite to-the-point: http://numinousmusic.blogspot.com/
My blog, on the other hand, is really just my ramblings about things I love. I guess that’s okay. I’ve been trying to make it somewhat ‘informative’ in a pragmatic sort of way — recipes, restaurant recommendations, wine recommendations, etc. Who will find it interesting other than those very close to me? Probably no one except for the rogue Tori Amos fanatic who comes across my Tori-related postings via google searches. But would that even happen? Not sure.
Am still wrestling with this question of narcissism online. In the meantime, way to go to all those brave souls doing the NYC marathon today! I’m jealous, but my five-miler was just fine. 🙂
here’s my thought on it: you’re having fun writing it. that is the bottom line. that means you are writing it and enjoying it regardless of who reads it. so how can that be narcissistic? plus i really like reading it 🙂
Thanks, Rachel! 🙂
hey I totally find it interesting 🙂 xoxox
