how (not) to choose an audience
another day, another 15-minute free writing entry. i wasn’t able to plan ahead during the weekend what i’d write for this as i’d originally planned last week but before i started my timer, i thought i should just write about my thoughts in random and pick out what most bothers me... so here goes... before i started writing, i looked up a lot of stuff: tutorials, free courses, tips from skilled writers, and what they have in common is of course to figure out your audience. that’s one of the first things to consider so that’s what i did. but then i realized i couldn’t decide who i want to reach with my writing. i couldn’t figure out who i want to write to because i don’t have any idea who i am anymore or how i want to be perceived by others.
at 28, i’m a stay-at-home-mom to a 7-month old baby girl. i stopped working as a physical therapist since covid happened which technically makes me a housewife. i paint and do artsy stuff when i have the time--or if i make time. i sing and play the guitar when i can, and i love to read anything my husband buys for me. i want to practice a healthy lifestyle with balanced eating and regular exercise. to me it feels a lot because i want to do everything and i want to be excellent at everything but i can barely shower or go to the toilet with what little time i have in my hands. i know i have to do something to sort out my priorities in life. spend more time on the things that are at the top of the list and spend a little bit less on the bottom of the list.
looking at all of it, i easily get overwhelmed. xx
