I spent days trying to come up with the perfect blog niche and realized that the only thing my blog plans have in common is that they have nothing to do with each other. They're completely random. After a bit of thought, I realized that utter randomness is just as good a niche as any.
Though most of my blog entries will be entirely random, they will have some things in common. Here on Pixie Sticks and Stones, you can expect to find these eight things:
1. Recommendations
When I like something, I want the world to know it. Whether I'm enamored by a book, a movie, a new pair of shoes, a comedian, or a scone, I want to share my delight with you. I've yet to find an exciting scone, but I'll be sure to let you know if I ever do.
2. Rants
When I hate something, I really want the world to know it. I can easily go off on a tangent ranting about evil doctors, that asshole who cut me off, a talented person getting kicked off a reality show, a stupid political move, a stupid Scrabble move, and pretty much anything else that pisses me off.
3. Personal Life
Speaking of things that piss me off ... While I wouldn't air all of my social circle's business, some of it is definitely noteworthy. Over time, you'll get to 'meet' my hubby, my buddies, my family, and my dog. I promise their stories are worth sharing. Especially my dog's, since she can't tell me otherwise.
4. Writing Samples
I'll periodically post short stories, poems, book excerpts, lists, letters, and any other form of writing that escapes my fingertips. No matter what the writing form, you can definitely expect the content to be random.
5. Contests
I love entering contests, I really love winning contests, and I especially love giving others the chance to get as excited as I do over contests. I'll be holding future contests based on things like writing prompts, most creative responses to a simple question, moral support, overall participation, and being in the right place at the right time if I open a last comment standing contest that ends at a predetermined time that won't be revealed until it's over.
6. Prizes
You can't have a contest without prizes, right? Contest prizes will include badges, certificates, books, DVDs, CDs, and even some rare celebrity autographs. Pretty cool, huh?
7. Advice
I'm no Dr. Phil, but I know how to give some really good advice. You'll see a lot of how-to posts in areas like writing, education, relationships, moral quandries, health, careers, gaming, social media, event planning, weddings, vacation planning, marketing, and a variety of other topics.
8. Information
What came first: the chicken or the egg? The real answer to that question is the chicken. New animals can only be born through genetic mutations, so the change would have started within the chicken before it produced the egg. That's just a random fact I thought you should know. You'll find a lot of other random facts in the Information section of my blog.
In short, when you visit Pixie Sticks and Stones, you can expect to find every random thing you want to find. If you want me to write about anything specific, please ask. I'm always open to suggestions. As long as you can categorize your request as random, I'll be able to post something that won't make me feel guilty for breaking away from my blog genre.
Randomness: You've gotta love it! :)
