To Write or Not To Write



I confess to you my fellow readers that I have Special Interests. To those who are in the know, this revelation may cause alarm bells to ring but shhh

I have been brainstorming for ideas to write about in this blog but I keep generating stuff to do with my special interests. So, I have been wondering if I should create an extra blog just for that but my minimal number of posts each month in this blog does not justify the move to maintain two blogs. What should I do?

My special interests are Montessori/Education and Child Development. I am constantly thinking about these topics and spent years finding out about them. While I may seem like a clueless dishpig wasting time and space on Earth, education and child care are actually my fields of expertise. I studied them at University. Despite my knowledge in these areas, I still don’t feel confident to write about it on the web mainly because I am not a Mummy (pronounce it as ‘Mommy’ the sickly sweet American wayewww) and I am not currently teaching. I feel like I am out of the league even though I know a thing or two.

Two of my very dear friends recently offered words of encouragement about my writing. They have been reading my blog lately. Doubting me is suspecting that may be they were just being nice. However, I have been checking via the dashboard to see if people have been reading my blog and was glad to see the number going up and up each month. Most readers are from North America or Europe. Surprisingly though people from an unexpected place are also starting to read my blog. I found that out this morning. Don’t know really how I feel about that. I guess the higher the traffic the better.

So, should I write about my special interests? It would be great to read what people think.

Note: I do have another special interest and that is Sewing/Craftwork. Without my trusty sewing machine & overlocker, I haven’t been able to produce anything to show off in this blog. May be I will get back to it again one day.
