Escape From Pianosa

Well I’ve been running this blog for about a little over a year now. It started as a real estate blog called Carter’s Adventure and then moved to its present domain. I’m shutting it down. I’ll leave the site up, but no more posting for the foreseeable future.

I’ve been thinking a lot this past week about “what is this blog about.” Because that’s really a central question to any successful blog. Is this a blog about my daily life? Funny things going on? My real estate misadventures? Improv? Marketing? Liberty and being a libertarian? All of those things? That’s way too many topics for a successful blog.

And so I think it’s a good exercise for anyone to go through, to try and create a blog. So they can think about what their brand is and what they want their identity to be and what they can offer to the citizens of the internets.

The irony is that I’m never short on things to write about. I have about 50 draft topics waiting in the queue. But every time I go to write one of them, something comes up. A little mental resistance. I’m not really sure where that comes from but I’m going to listen to it now. I may start up again in a month or a year from now. As I get more involved in online marketing I may choose to start another website that deals with those specific topics. In the meantime, if you’re a friend or just interested in what I have to say, you can stay subscribed to the RSS feed.
