I have been trying to think of things to write about. My Ingrid Bergman blog is sometimes so much easier to maintain. There is one clear subject to write about; Ingrid. I feel like there is never a shortage and I always want to have something there.

Here, it is more difficult to write about EVERYTHING.

I know I should write about the Fiesta. I know that I can write about whatever I want, but who cares? Now this isn't self-pity. I care about my life and I have those around me who genuinely do care about what I do and what I am up to. But I don't know who cares about what. I think I might start to focus on something specifically.

Should I write about my filmmaking? Seems a little pretentious, plus I like to show final results, not really into revealing my process.

Should I write about strange things I see in life? Just a social commentary? Is that what I and you are into?

Should I set a goal--like my Dad has done-- a 365 days type thing? I'm not sure I like a box. Not that boxes are bad, I just don't work well with them. I'm more of a squiggle.

I have been reading 2 memoirs, both written by people who work on websites and blogs.

One is Julie and Julia written by Julie Powell. She shoots from the hip with her writing but she definitely always has an objective. She had her blog about the Julia Child recipes and now has a book, movie deal, blog and a clear concise way of writing. It's inspirational and intimidating all at the same time.

The other book is called The Big Rewind by Nathan Rabin. This is the funniest book I've ever read. Nathan Rabin is the head writer of the A.V. Club and this book reflects his sarcastic, hilarious, reference-full, way of revealing things that are happening in his world and the world around us. He has what would be my pick for a dream job. If you're not making films, you're writing or writing about them. He is one of my new heros.

I recommend it all. I also recommend that you give me suggestions as to what you would like to read. I'd like to revamp this blog--big time :)
