What Do You Really Want To Know?

I find blogging an odd thing. Odd that people want to read such regular musings, odder that they want to read such musings from me. I often struggle for topics to write about, as I'm torn between two simple truths: One is that I'm actually a private person, the other is that I know anyone who is interested enough to read my blogs actually wants to read more about me than just my latest book and writing news. For me that contradiction presents quite a quandary.

So, what do I talk about?

What I'm prepared to say about myself seems awfully droll to me. In truth, I've done lots of things over the years; I've travelled a bit and have lots of interests, so I should be able to find plenty to talk about, plenty that's interesting.

Yet I struggle.

Increasingly, emails or comments on the Facebook fan page help generate ideas for blog posts, but if I'm to blog more – and more regularly – then I need to keep coming up with ideas. Over the coming months I'm going to try a lot harder talking about a variety of stuff (me, my background and writing), I'll also do more opinion pieces. In return I want feedback from people: Post questions, ask for more of what you're interested in. Simply, help give me direction with my blogging.

So, what do you want to hear about?
