When I started blogging about three years ago, I just wanted to discuss my journey as person (mom, choreographer, teacher, chauffeur, laundry goddess, pretty good cook, lousy housekeeper) and a writer. Slowly, the blog morphed into a place where I shared my knowledge of book marketing and love of children's and YA literature though I was still a writer-on-the side. Now, I am counting the months until I can see my work in print. The blog is evolving again into a place where part of the story is about me as an author (wow!!!). And, though I still write in stolen moments and, often, with a preschooler tugging at my arm, I don't quite feel like a writer-on-the-side anymore.
So, do I rename the blog after myself (feels a bit egotistical yet, perhaps, rather practical)? Do I incorporate my name into the subtitle (though it might be tricky to do so and still have main title make sense)? Or do I leave well enough alone?
Sighs.
Does not like decision-making.
Especially on Wednesdays.
We recently had the same discussion over on our site. It's tough to know how to handle these things in a way that is going to maximize followers and be meaningful to them. We wish you luck in your deliberations!
ReplyDeleteI think you should keep your title, but maybe add your name in the subtitle. :)
ReplyDeleteDecisions are hard for Libras!
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I love your title.
Since my blog has the most egotistical name ever, I'm not sure I can give an unbiased opinion about changing it.
How about Writer-at-Starbucks? :-)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I like your current title.
I like the happy picture from your previous post, but the serious one "looks more like you."
Thanks for all the suggestions, Adventures, Pam, Sylvie & Julie! Decisions...argh!!!
