I've been thinking about this blog and realised it's missing something. I'm not quite sure what but most other blogs I read have a certain something that makes them worth coming back to. This one doesn't really have it.
Maybe it is a lack of rantings or musings... most bloggers have something to moan about or ponder, and that makes them readable. This one is just me writing a [sometimes overly] detailed record of some of the things I get up to.
So from now on I'm going to try to change two things. For a start I'm going to post more often, but keep the word count lower (unless I have something major to report on, such as Fuji-San). And secondly I'm going to make sure I either have something to moan about, or some kind of insight or observation to share.
A couple of weeks ago I was telling a friend that the reason my post-rate dropped was because I'd become a bit disheartened due to a large drop in audience for this blog. Every writer (even a hack blogger) feeds off their audience. But my friend turned it around and said "Maybe the reason they've stopped coming is because you've stopped blogging."
Shit, she was right. Or we both were. It's two way thing. If I keep blogging, you lot might keep coming back, and the more you come back the more reason I have to keep writing. So from now on posts will be shorter, sharper and more frequent and they might even be slightly entertaining.
I've done Jack Shit since Mount Fuji, and that includes the Fuji Rock review. I got as far as covering the Thursday (the music hadn't even started yet) and I'd written far too much, burnt myself out and lost interest.
If you want to read what I got so far then click on the following link, and if you're still interested in reading about the rest of the festival then let me know and I might be persuaded to finish it.
