I'd really like to start writing a blog, mainly to get back into writing regularly and I'd like to get involved with the blogging community - as I work from home and have anxiety issues so don't get out much it looks fun. Trouble is I've read loads about 'finding your niche' and not writing the same old stuff everyone else is otherwise you'll be completely ignored (am not hoping for a book deal but the odd comment would be nice) but I can't seem to figure out what I want to write about, I just want something to write about, especially as I have a few very diverse ideas (will list below). So is there a type of blog or subject you really love reading about and would love to see more of or one that isn't covered well at the moment and you'd like to see a blog about?
Some of the things I was thinking I'd be capable of writing about are;
Cooking/feeding the family well on a low budget, the typical 'champagne on a lemonade budget' stuff because I do it every week, but I think maybe that's been done to death a bit? Or anything to do with living on a low budget?
Parenting, again doing it every week, but again a bit done to death and I only have a preteen so no attractive 'toddler walks in the woods' photos to use. Is there an aspect that's not being covered?
A wedding blog, especially focusing on the 'ideas for themes'/ moodboards side as I'm planning my own wedding and this is the bit I've enjoyed most but again, is it overdone, especially with Pinterest to look at?
Creative writing - maybe a general 'what I've written' type or something very specific but quirky like 'dates with fictional characters' (fictional obviously)
Doing a 'bucket list'
Best/top 5 or 10 of a particular product/thing each week?
A blog about trying out ideas on Pinterest and how they actually turn out? (although I know there's 'Pinterest fail' type sites out there)
Writing about the news - some specific category or area of news?
A 'funny' blog just about my life?
Reviewing something? I love books but that's definitely already been done! Not sure what else wouldn't involve lots of expense.
Can't write about anything that involves buying lots regularly to keep up, ie a clothes/makeup blog, for the low budget mentioned above . Any suggestions/requests?
