I’m in the car driving home from a weekend at the lake and decided to see what today’s prompt on Fadra’s site was. I was rather blown away when I read that this is the last Stream of Consciousness Sunday post. I may have even teared up a little.
Even though I started the very first week of the prompt, I haven’t participated every week for a variety of reasons, most of them having to do with just being downright lazy! I’m going to miss the official SOC Sunday post, but I love it so much I’ll keep writing this way sometimes… Raw, unedited, quick. It works for me.
Today’s prompt is about reinventing yourself.
I had a lightbulb moment at Type A Conference last weekend while having lunch with Crystal, Tanis Miller and Katherine Stone. We were talking about what types of blogs we have. Tanis said, “I’m a personal memoirist,” and it hit me.
I am, too.
So in my brain, I’m working through how to truly let that become what I do here. It pretty much is already, but a little honing never hurt anybody, right?
How do you reinvent yourself when you feel stuck?
For all my SOC Sunday posts, go here.
I’m going to have to check out more or your personal memoirisms – yeah I made up a word. After a commenter after commenter has told me that they enjoy my “stories”, it made me realize my niche was in storytelling. I see other blogs are so successful at their niche’s – be it cooking or tip giving – it scares be about wondering when I won’t any stories left to tell. But I’m 41 so I should have a bit to chose from and expand on. Glad I found your blog on the last SOCS.
My niche is not having a niche! And i love it!! Let me know if you find anything memoir-worthy
I propose that someone take over for Fadra, with her permission of course. I just recently found out about it and made my first participation today. I’m not ready to give it up, I did like it. Whaddaya say?
