For a journalist who’s used to writing about a certain beat or topic (as you civilians call it) starting a blog is a little scary. What will I write about? Who will I write to? Writing about yourself seems so self-absorbed when you’ve been telling stories about others for the past four years.
Several people suggested using a blog to get my your writing out “there”, and that I should to pick a topic I’m passionate about. Well that’s a little silly. As journalists, we’re told to not be passionate about anything except, of course, journalism.
So here goes. My first personal blog (I hosted a lifestyle blog at my last job). There’s no topic yet. I think I’ll write about whatever moves me and watch for a trend.
