I was such a newbie, I hadn't saved anything to any other site or in any other format. Not so much as a WordPerfect document. This was rather demoralizing, although a very vivid way to learn the crucial lesson of ALWAYS SAVE YOUR STUFF in multiple ways.
In January 2012, I created this blog within the Googleverse. I was a busy mother, working part-time, and didn't know how much sustained effort I could dedicate to it. It turns out-- not at all!
I dabbled a smidge on Tumblr, back when Tumblr didn't censor as much; when the site tried to clean itself up, I lost interest and removed my account. Most of my content had consisted of some small paragraphs about erotic topics-- nothing I felt I could use under my actual identity. I moved everything relating to erotica or sexuality over to FetLife, under an alias, of course, where it remains to this day.
I have many varied interests, so part of my dilemma has always been finding my "voice," and my "theme." The first blog was really just about "grief." The Tumblr and FetLife platforms housed anything having to do with "sex," "kink," "sensuality," and "erotica."
Sticking to just a single topic sounds so... limiting. Boring. As a person with ADHD, I knew my motivation would be crushed if there was zero novelty to my topics. I have a wide range of interests, and life throws a wide range of curve balls at us, so why not figure out a way for my blog to encompass an equally wide range of subject matter??
The problem, of course, is that that is probably no way to attract a dedicated audience.
