Something. I'm just not sure what.

I know what my problem is. I have no niche. My other problem? At 29, I still don't know how to say "niche." (Guess I should've added that to my list.) Is it neesh? Or nish? Or nitch? (No, really, I'd like to know 'cause it's totally one of those words I refrain from using so I don't look like a complete dumbass.) (Is "dumbass" one word or two? Shit.) So, I have no niche. I don't know what the hell I'm doing here. I know I want to continue blogging (maybe even more regularly) (don't hold your breath) but about what? Everything I think of seems so... dull. Granted, the things I wrote about back in the day were dull, too. (Back in the day = pre-divorce.) But I was content back in the day. I'm not content now. I'm bored. Fuck, am I ever bored. I need a change. (In more ways than one, apparently.)

  1. Why do you want a niche? I am wondering.

    I have asked myself this question, for my food and personal blogs. Then i come to the conclusion that i dont want to pigeon hole myself into just baking, or yarn stuff, or asian food... For personal, i dont want to just talk about dating, or book/movie/tv/music reviews or running. As long as im honest in both spaces it all works out.

    I think the readership you've garnered is solid, i come back because you're fresh, raw and real. That is your niche.

    Merriam webster pronounces it "nitch"but it is also acceptable to say it like "neesh". And "dumbass" is 1 word.

  4. You should write about how much you hate people. I think it would be therapeutic.

  11. There's plenty of people out there without a niche, just like you. :) You just have to find us and we become your niche. :)
