What kind...

...of blogs do you like to read?

I know that people inevitably get tired of the "NOW IN SHOP!!!!" posts... That's why I like to write about other things instead. Feature other sellers. Quotes. That sort of thing...

What I really would like to do is write some meaningful posts. That of course is easier said than done.

Some things I would absolutely love to write about, I am too afraid to do so. Re: "What's stopping you?"

I do kind of like the idea that blogs are so public, that the people who will be reading them don't actually "know" me. For some reason that makes it seem easier to digest the criticisms.

But then in the back of my mind, I'm always worried who is (or isn't!) reading them.

It is a bit silly to write a blog post, and hope that someone reads it. But then, call me silly. I do hope people read this.

I've been known to write as my Facebook status, "Kelsey wonders if you took the time to read this." It is a bit silly, but for some reason it matters to me. Must be partly because I often think no one at all cares. So I need some reassurance.

But with the blog, that's not really what I'm looking for. I want people to read something I write or post here, and react in some way to it. Hopefully a positive reaction! Maybe they are inspired or moved by something.

But then I also get to thinking about the reason I initially began this blog; to promote my shop. I am scared to stray too far from Etsy/jewelry/photography for fear of alienating or losing what readers I do have.

So you let me know; what kinds of things would you like to see here? Does it bother you to see things beyond the Etsy related?

Whatever your answers, I may have to go with my heart, for once, and post things beyond the standard shop related.
