A Second Blog?

I read an article this week that said having a second blog could be a good way to increase book sales. The idea behind it is that all writers are writing about their books and career, so a second blog, on a completely different subject; could be a good way to get noticed by a new audience. Adding a link onto the second blog about the novels would then get this new audience noticing the author's work.

The theory is good but I don't think I have anything particularly interesting to say about anything else. If I had more going on in my real life would I be spending all my time writing fiction?

Sitting here trying to think of another topic to write about, I'm transported back to my primary school.
"Now class, I want you to write a whole page about 'Things I like doing.'"

Okay so perhaps 'drinking red wine' wouldn't have been on the list back then. It's not something I think I could write a whole article on anyway.
"Yes I like that one...and I like this one. Aroma? I'm getting grape. Taste? I'm getting grape."

There's also the question of how many people would find a subject interesting although, judging by some of the shite I see on social media, I don't think everyone ponders that before sharing.
"Yes that is a large amount of fries on your plate and I agree, the marbling of the fat in the steak does resemble Jesus; but please, just eat it before it gets cold."

Finding things to write about once a week regarding my own writing career isn't always easy. There's little I can reveal about novel number three, currently being written, as I want people to read it once it's finished; not know the whole plot beforehand. (Mind you, at the moment; I don't even know that).

I'm five chapters in, on the first draft and I think the story is coming along nicely. I feel I'm getting the building of suspense right and I'm enjoying adding in little clues here and there regarding the murder case. Not sure I've quite got the tone of the humour right yet and that joke about a woman's Giant Schnauzer might not make it into draft two.

So, a second blog? Probably not for me at present. I did once consider writing one from one of my character's viewpoint; but I think 'Shauna's Blog' (Driven to Distraction) could end up in a big pile of lawsuits.
