The Blog Voice
Is there a generic “blog voice?”
When I sit down to blog, my voice is noticably different than my regular writing voice. It has an omniscient narrator quality to it. Not quite like a diary, but different than, say, my creative nonfiction voice. I think I often hear this voice when I read others’ blogs as well, but perhaps not the really successful ones. Maybe that is part of what makes good blog: finding a blog writing voice that is personable and interesting, without sounding like you are writing “Dear Diary” or preparing an Acadamy Award acceptance speech in your bathroom mirror.
In the past I’ve had a few blogs centered around different interests. I am not a good daily-task sort of person, so often I let them fall by the wayside. Since I am writing about food for my job, I thought this might be a good place to keep some of the things I end up not using in the column. Perhaps I’ll even go more local and have it be a local food resource.
Or, maybe I’ll throw out philosophical questions and wonder what in the heck I am doing. . .
