Is This A Beauty Blog

I came upon blogger when Xanga shut down. I still do not know what I want this blog to be. I do not know if I want to focus on beauty and fashion or if I rather it be more personal, much like my Xanga blog.

I do know now that when you follow the "trend" your blog or youtube channel flourishes which is quite annoying. How can you promote your own channel when it doesn't follow trends?? How can you reach the people that are stuck in their habits and neglect smaller channels or blogs because they aren't strictly one thing?

We all create our own content but how much of that content is a trend of beauty style for the month, or the top challenges out now??

Being original these days seems to be a trend on if you work outside of the internet world. 

If you aren't smart enough or beautiful enough to have a great blog that has equal content that doesn't always follow the trend how do you maintain that?? 

I want my blog and my YouTube channel to come together as one but here at ceruleansparkles I want to make my content the way I want without being limited to trends. 

There is a x button at the top of every page on the internet and one big red one to close the whole. If you don't like what you see or read, why not comment? Why not consider for just a moment that maybe if there were conversations going content would be created faster with more fluidity that before.

Creativity, Where Has It Gone?

I want to blog, I genuinely miss my creative writing. I look back over my postings on Xanga and so many of them are creative and full of energy and life. Where did it all go? Did I lose it when my Bipolar Disorder was roped in and tamed with medicine? I don't see how that could be. It is still there just slightly out of reach. I stare at my blog page and think to myself that I have failed this blog and I have created an AdSense thinking that I could somehow use that as an incentive to want to write more, be more involved. However all it has done is have me watch it struggle to earn a penny here and there.

What is the point when there is all of this untouched creativity just beyond my grasp and I struggle to grab it and hold on to it tightly. I want to create so much with this blog. I don't know where to start. Do I divulge my past postings from Xanga to see if this creates more energy?? Or what about staring at everyone else's blogs hoping that some of what they write will spark a light of fire in me. I haven't found it yet. Maybe if I keep my eyes open long enough, maybe just maybe, I will find it again.

Comments are very much welcomed. What do you think? Should I publish some old posts from Xanga?  Do I try to find creative content through YouTube? What about other blogs, do I continue to search through them until I find something that ignites the flame?

Help me find my light, my spark of love in really blogging and not just staring at the screen void of words to type but so many things I want to say. Please, let me know what you think.

Much love always
Linda
