Blogging, With Elephants?
More Elephants
I am bemoaning today the lack of subject matter of this blog. Actually, it’s not completely fair to say that there is no subject matter. The subject matter is whatever comes into my ManicDdaily head.
I am bemoaning today the lack of consistent subject matter.
People like subject matters, just as they like a certain predictability. It’s bred into the species, I think, maybe into living itself. Babies with clear naptimes tend to nap more easily and more cheerfully; dogs want to stick to their routines, marking the same old spots on their same old walks; horses find their way back into their stalls; and adults (human adults) like to get the same kind of bagel with the same kind of cream cheese, with the same kind of coffee, with the same amount of sugar and milk in it, every single morning.
As part of this preference for the routine, I am pretty sure that people tend to prefer a blog that has a theme. Something they might even learn from, or at least, feel uplifted by.
But I don’t really know anything well enough to teach it. Further, anyone labeling their blog ManicDDaily may not in fact be so uplifting, so….
Hmmm…..
What can I write about? Consistently? (Or draw?!)
Elephants?
(But shouldn’t it be meaningful?)
More elephants?
Hmmm….
Any and all suggestions are welcome .

You rarely mention directly that which gives its name to your blog. A meaningful subject to many readers. Also, as I read you, the inaudible cantus firmus that binds your diverse themes into harmony.

That’s a very good point. I have been always relatively conscious of the difficult (in my mind) mixing of my professional life and blogging persona. But even that may be a more common problem than I realize.
