I think that's what they call a catch 22 :)
As I'm a decent bloke I'll copy it in here for you...
Over the years I’ve read a fair few blogs (some of my current favourites are on the right hand side of this screen by the way) but have never really come across a Norwich City-related one that captured my imagination enough to make me want to stick around.
A very good friend of mine writes a software development blog (as is his bag), and he inspired me to have a crack myself.
As Steve said earlier, blogging has a tendency to attract one of two different types of person:
1. Those that are building their audience in preparation for a business (ala Rick Waghorn) .
2. Those who come across as though the world wants to read their thoughts. .
I don’t think I sit in either of those camps. I quite like my job and have no intention of trying to make money out it this (not that I would be able to if I wanted to) - I’m much more ‘citizen’ than ‘serious’ journalist as Rick would say - so that rules out number 1.
I like to think that I know what I’m talking about when it comes to City - when it comes to football in general to be honest. I believe I have something interesting to say, but I hope I don’t come across as a number 2.
I like having my own area to spout off about certain things - to try and get my argument across if you like - and the fact that people could read it appeals to me.
My motivation is that someone somewhere might see what I’m doing and find it interesting enough to come back, read some more who knows - maybe even change their perception on something.
Maybe it’s as simple as feeding my ego, making me feel important. I don’t think it’s that. I just enjoy rambling on about my favourite sport and if other people like it, great. If they don’t then fair enough.
I hope that answers the question. If it doesn’t please let me know, I’d be interested to know what you think.
OTBC.
PS If you’re someone that does find anything on this site interesting, please stick around. Even if just to make me feel important.
