OK, so here’s the deal. I am once again at a standstill. Why you ask? Well that’s a good question, I’m glad you brought it up.
For some reason I can’t seem to find my niche. Like I’m not even in the neighborhood. I’m across the world from it. I am niche deficient. Nicheless in a nicheworld.
How the hell am i supposed to figure it out? Before you even go there, I HAVE read those. And that. Them too. Read it all. Still twirling in an ever increasing circle singing to myself. Lemme tell ya, I am getting seriously dizzy up in here. In case you hadn’t noticed , I have a slight tendency to write about……. well …… anything. Nothing. Everything. Which I’m sure you’re probably the only one that’s reading.
Yes, you. Sheesh, there’s noone else around. Silly.
Anyways, as I was saying, I’m all over the place topic-wise, and apparently that’s not the way it’s done. Huh. Noone wants to read that they say. Huh. You need a niche. Focus. You need to solve a problem for people or they won’t read. Won’t come back. You’ll never monetize your site that way, they say. Then the worst one: music isn’t enough, it’s not everything. HUUUUHH.
Blasphemy.
I have been tweeting songs for a long time now, blogging them too, and I’ve gotten no complaints. I have excellent taste in music. Those songs are always rockin, always! Always good tunes playing on # CrazyTrain. We Must have tunes! And no, it’s not too loud! My neighbors are going to hear some great music whether they like it or not!
Whoops, back to my original point- niche.
I’m supposed to find a topic I am passionate about (music) , one that i know something about ( this & that) one that i can use to address a problem or question people have, and teach them how to solve it. (WT actual F). Easy, right?
See here’s where the trouble starts. I start trying to figure out what issues people have that i could help with. Naturally at that point, i know absolutely nothing about anything. At all. Annnnnnnd freeze.
I lose my words. I lose my crazytrain of thought. I lose my mind. How in the ever lovin world has anyone done this? What am i missing? Oh hell who am I kidding, I can’t even decide on an email address. As if i picked the wrong one the world would implode. So I have like 20.
Really.
I know about a lot of stuff. If someone had a problem and came to me, I could help them. If I didn’t know the answer, I’m damn good at finding it.
Reviews? No problem. I’ll tell you what’s right AND what’s wrong with the product. If i like, I recommend. And spread the word.
Give me a subject, and I can write about it. For days. Weeks maybe.
Do I have an opinion? Oh hell yeah, point me to the editorials. I’ll write a letter to the editor like nobody’s business.
Debate? Bring it ON. I’ll argue BOTH sides.
You like rock music? I’ve got playlists that’ll blow your socks off.
Weed? I can give you whatever info you want, from prohibition to now.
Cats? I’m raising a little hellion right now. She almost has me trained.
Addiction? I’ve been married to an addict for 36 years. I’ve got whatever you need. And then some. Seen it ALL.
But a niche? Nope. Not that. In the words of the late great Meatloaf , *two outta three ain’t bad* I am so over the place. I will rejoice the day i make enough to cover hosting my site. I was thinking of doing the nasty for money.
I heard that.
Perv.
Not that, photos and the like. OnlyFans. Feet pics. Things like that. Tasteful. Only I was afeared noone would show up. Oh, and i couldn’t think up a good username. Naturally. I do have some experience in the adult entertainment field, but not in a while.
So what’s a girl to do? Give up on the idea? Think harder? Do a rain dance? Cry? Call the niche union and tell the off? See now THAT I’d be good at. If anyone has a solution, please toss it my way. Then declare your niche before someone else does! Looking forward to hearing some of your random ideas. Yeah, you. I told you, noone else here!

Gotta go now, Princess Liza put her tail in my mouth and it’s making biscuits on my arm. I think she might want something.
Babble over. For now.

*Poof*
