The Struggle to Talk About Myself.

Posted on the 03 April 2013 by Jamie Gall @50states50wines

When I first started this blog it was so easy to talk about my adventures and outings and share what was happening with me.

But last night and today  I sit here staring at a blank screen.  I have been wondering lately, “what should I share, what should I write about.”

There are plenty of ideas in my head.  I want to begin sharing more photography tips, more food reviews are up ahead, and of course adventures around LA.

But why is it so hard to just stop and just talk about myself for a bit?

The truth?  I don’t want to come off as boring.  Or have this brilliant idea in my head then when it gets down to writing to find “it’s really not all that brilliant” to begin with.

Do you ever find the more you write your blog out, the more you realize how much more you push yourself to write GREAT content.  You want to be that writer that has an instant hit.  That writer that other bloggers look up to and say, “wow, that person can really write,” or “she just said what I’ve been thinking all along.”

Well.  I’ll tell you this, and then of course, I’ll tell myself this: “Stop it.  It is your blog, it is your space.  If you want to write about paint drying on the walls, so be it, and do it.  If you want to write about the beautiful spring blossoms (I am needing a major visit to a spring GARDEN, btw then do it!)  Or if you want to write about how much you’re struggling with writing lately then do it.

I think my love of exploring around LA has been lost a bit, and I need some inspiration to get it going again.  Tell me, what are some of your favorite places to visit in LA or the OC?  I need to start building a list of places to explore again.

Next week I’m sharing with you my favorite Coffee Shop in this big city, and why I like it so much.
