@alexandra @bstn Love your post, Alex. The garbage can approach is exactly right. Everything (well almost everything) goes on the blog.

@jimmitchell @alexandra Yep. The comparison with a garbage is brilliant. I’m not yet open enough to write about more personal things, but that doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Maybe that’s just the way I am. Every now and then, I discover that I approach writing about various topics in a completely different way (namely, more openly). And that’s all thanks to blogging and the fact that I have a blog about everything. I don’t limit myself to any particular topic (though some topics do feature more prominently). It’s a very liberating feeling. This is the first time I’ve run a blog in this style. Until now, I’d blogged on a single topic and, after a while, closed the blog to start another one on a different subject. It was a vicious circle.

@bstn This is a circle many of us have found ourselves in. Writing a blog on one or two  topics is great, to a point, but then, it becomes either restrictive and or boring.

I hope you find what works for you.
