Yesterday was also the Session, a group event in which I have failed to participate 60 previous times. The topic: "what drives beer bloggers?" I will say this: no one cares. The tiny group of people who read blogs--the real heroes--just want engaging, funny, thoughtful, and informative content. I fail on this score more often than I succeed (I may well be mid-fail now), but it is my goal. Writing a book turns out to be a bit bad for blogging, especially in terms of having the time to make the words fun to read and doing more than a cursory study of what's happening in town. But I'll keep trying.
Happy session day--
Hey now, your shindig at Coalition is the session stuff I am talking about. I thought that was very well thought out, informative, and just plain delicious.
ReplyDeleteI just so happened to buy a session beer after work today because I have the next two days off, and only slept four hours last night for no good reason. So I grabbed my first 4-pack of 16oz. New Belgium Shift Pale Lagers. Solid, and I think the best beer I have had that would get the BMC crowd over to the craft-side.
What drives this beer blogger is my blog.
Love the reference.
Well, someone cares what drives bloggers...or the question wouldn't be out there. I think what you meant to say is, "it doesn't matter." I agree with that. Once upon a time, I was sure it was for the money.
