Scope

I may have mentioned that I've been reading a lot of blogs lately. One thing I'm noticing is that the blogging world is somewhat divided on what makes a good blog. There are a number of really good blogs out there that focus on a particular topic. I'm sure many people believe that in order to be a "successful" blogger, you must choose a topic and stick with it. The blogs I really love, though, are broader in scope. They are well-written works by people with whom I share a similar world view and interests, and I never really know what to expect when I read them. Since they are not completely bound by a specific topic, they do wander, but they don't do it blindly or without thought.

I am not overly concerned with becoming a successful blogger, I just love writing. I do have some goals, though. I hope to always write with the idea of an audience in mind, and avoid just reporting the events of the day. I want to use this space to explore my own, and share some adventures and ideas. I also want to write with more focus about traveling. I'll be doing that over at buildasnowman, though, because I will probably only be writing about my trips in small bursts, and I want to keep related posts together.

That's it. Even though I've had other blogs for years now, I feel like I'm on a journey that's just beginning. If you're out there reading this, leave me a comment. I'd love to know who's tuned in.
