New Blog Strategy

Just a quick note to pass on to everyone regarding the future of "Luke's Ponderings." I believe I made a posting earlier in the year about possibly taking a hiatus from writing during the upcoming summer. I don't foresee that happening at this time because I am planning on developing a new strategy for the blog in the coming weeks. It's an aggressive plan for me, seeing as I have yet been able to write five blogs in one week. But that's exactly what I am proposing to do. The plan is to write five blogs in one week, each dealing with a particular theme. As of now, the themes are not set in stone, but I am bouncing a few of them around in my head.

During one day, I'll write a TV-themed blog. During American Idol season, it'll be the recap for that week's performance show. And in the fall of 2011 with the launch of the U.S. version of the X Factor, I'll likely blog about that. That, in addition to other reality TV programming I like and other topics regarding television. I am also going to set one day to talk about a particular Upper Peninsula topic. Even though the U.P. is small population-wise, this great land I live in has a lot to offer. Expect something different each week regarding the U.P. here at "Luke's Ponderings". In addition, I also plan to devote one day during the week to discussing something in my personal life. It could be a story about my past, something going on in the present, or something potentially about my future. And I know I'm not the most exciting personality born on this earth, but my life hasn't been a total bore, either. I still haven't decided on two other possible topics yet, but I'll reveal those at another time (one might have something to do with music).

So there you have it, my latest aggressive plan for a re-vamped "Luke's Ponderings". Obviously this year has been rather difficult for me in keeping the blog up, although I'd like to think I've done a fairly better job recently. And I am going to try to be less picky about having longer blogs because sometimes, shorter is better. As long as I have something interesting to say, that should be all that matters! So, you should be able to expect these changes to take place at some point in the very near future, possibly as soon as the end of this month! And I am also debating about whether or not to incorporate some video blogs into "Luke's Ponderings" as well. Let me just say, I'm not the most articulate speaker on the planet. So if I do indeed decide to start filming video blogs, it'll certainly be a challenge. Let's just say I'll leave it out there, but it's certainly not a done deal at this point. In any case, I am looking to expand my horizons and I hope everyone will be able to come along for the ride.

Glad to hear about the UP posts and all the others too.
Dial up here so I will have to skip the video posts. Pics(but not too many ) dial up) would be good. B. I am gonna try to come up with questions I would like answered about the UP also, if you have time and a lack of something to post about, maybe that would help.

Hi there. The videos will probably be pretty infrequent, if I decide to do them. I might include a picture or two here or there, but I try not to overload the blog with pictures. As for U.P. related questions, post away! I am sure I'll run into stretches where I'll have a tough time thinking of something to write about.
