Choosing Topics
Wednesday, January 23, 2008
Sometimes, It is a burden to find topics to write about: Topics that will please a lot of people. And so I look around and ask my friends what they would like me to write about. Some are clearly flabbergasted by the idea and the pressure of finding a subject and others are please to help.
I have gotten an array of titles: love, sex, baby drama (although, I’ve never given birth) gender definition, homosexuals, relationships and such. As the topics are given to me, I try to incorporate it into my own experiences and view it as something that has (yet) happened to me. In many cases, I have been involved in a lot of the topics some choose for me. For instance, the universal feeling: love. Some criticize about my writing. Not the style in which I write, but the content of the blog. Some think that I need to ease on the pessimistic views. Others feel what I have felt and continue to praise my art.
Just the other day, I asked my friend Jen to think of something that she would like to see on my blog. It seemed as though, I had given her a textbook of math equations to complete in very little time. I’m sure it was a challenge for her as she isn’t much involved in that sort of blogging world.
How hard is it to come up with a title? Truthfully, the majority of my topics come up as I am riding the train back home, during random times I think about what I should write or even sometimes as things happen.
Sometimes I don’t want to write about the same thing over and over again. What I do find amusing is when my readers ask me to write more about certain ladies in my life. They are intrigued by the relationships I had encountered over the years. It is sad to say that I don’t always like to write about my past (some would say that it can be turned into a movie) especially Hope and The Pearl. These are two ladies that will hold a special space in my heart. I’ve read some comments regarding my feelings towards the two lovely ladies and quite frankly, when I do write about them it isn’t because I still love them. It is because they have constructed a foundation of who I am now – a single lesbian in New York City. No I am only kidding.
So topics aren’t easy to come up with especially when my life these past two weeks isn’t as exciting as it was a month ago.
There. You got it Jen.
