Stories hiding in plain sight
Not knowing what to write about is probably one of the most common blogging struggles. Believing you have nothing interesting to say.
The reality, though, is that you most likely have quite a lot to share. There’s a forest of stories hiding behind the trees.
I think interesting is one of the biggest misconceptions. What actually makes something interesting? It’s getting a glimpse of something new to you in one way or another.
My daytime job is doing house inspections. If I tell a colleague about the bats I saw yesterday in a tight crawl space, that person won’t find it very interesting. It comes with the job.
If I tell the same story to someone who might not even know what a crawl space is, let alone have been inside one, that person might find it very interesting. A tale about a world they didn’t even know existed.
When you think you have nothing interesting to say, that might be true. But only from your perspective.
Someone else out there will think it’s an intriguing read. Not everyone, but some will, guaranteed. That’s all that matters.
So please open the door and invite us into your world.
We want to have a peek. We are interested.
