Blogging about blogging, that is. Sounds boring. But several people lately have proposed that I make a career out of blogging, meaning that "Allie's Job Hunt" would actually be ended by "Allie's Job Hunt," which was started by my job hunt. This sounds like the type of catastrophic paradox feared by Doc Brown in Back to the Future. To quote the ending, where--spoiler alert!--Doc doesn't die because he taped back together the letter he tore apart that Marty wrote him warning about the Libyans:
Marty: What about all that talk about screwing up future events? The space-time continuum?
Doc: Well, I figured, what the hell?
Indeed. So here I am, talking about blogging as a career. Or if not a career, a money-making side project. I'm looking for suggestions--what is an unfilled niche in the blogosphere, if such a thing exists?
It worked for another girl named Allie, (also a blonde former competitive runner (although she was better than I ever was)), author/illustrator of my current favorite blog Hyperbole and a Half. She employs sort of a David-Sedaris-meets-Tucker-Max-meets-Calvin-and-Hobbes-meets-a-five-year-old approach to creating her niche. I'm not funny enough for that, so suggest something else.
