I guess I can remember those days when I wouldn't have known what to say. Not now though, I have too much to say, I've been trying hard to hold off on a lot of it as I slowly build more of a following. Also trying to figure out ways to balance all these different topics.

I can totally relate! At the beginning I had a few things in my head, but those either got posted or faded. It's daunting when you first see some of what the 'competition' puts out here.
But yea, after a while it's the opposite. The loong list of post topics..many you never get to. It's one of those 'good problems' to have.
While I know that many of the more successful and traditional bloggers stick to limited topics...that never worked terribly well for me since I tend to write on what I feel like that day. My middle ground ended up being getting into topics for a period of time (say 2-4 weeks) and then changing up for something else for a while. Usually I've got about 3-4 different topics I rotate around at once (2 of them are usually more quick photo things.)
I think more and more niches will develop on this platform during the coming weeks and months. I will do what I can to make that happen. I don't think I'll ever make posts with incredible formatting and lots of pictures but I think there is a place for glitter-free content. The real challenge is trying to balance two aspects of my personality, the manic blabbermouth and the composed truth seeker, I can very much be both of these. As for content, I have ideas I want to share with the "Namaste" crowd but there is also some practical advice I hope to share with more left-brainers. Aside from the "self-help" I want to share some of my favorite independent artists and life experiences and I am also trying to engage with Japanese users and post in Japanese sometimes. If it becomes too difficult to balance I'll have to open up two accounts but I think I can manage it...eventually.
You seem to be doing alright though you are almost at 70 rep! I will check out your posts. I saw you on the chat earlier but was too wrapped up in banter to engage with you, we can chat next time :-D
