Professional Blog?

[rolanni]

I'm in receipt of a suggestion that I consider launching a "professional blog," (presumably) for those people who don't want to have to put up with me blathering about my cats, or the topless joint in the next town. Since I like to talk about my cats, I'd not be viewing such a blog as a replacement for this one, but an addition, which means I'm trying to figure out if a "professional blog" would be worth the investment of my time.

The trouble is, I'm not certain what a "professional blog" would be, exactly. Regular readers of this journal will have observed that writing, as an activity, does not lend itself particularly well to narration.

Tuesday, sat on the corner of the couch, stared at the screen until drops of blood formed on my forehead, and 1,000 words thereby made their various ways from my backbrain through my fingers and filled up that terrible blank surface.

Wednesday, more of same.

Ho-hum.

Those of you who read authors' "professional blogs," can you either point me to such a creature, and/or tell me what you find interesting/informative/useful about such blogs?

Thanks!

I tried to do a "strictly business" blog. It bored me out of my skull, and got about 1/5 of the hits my LJ takes, so I stopped.

We write about characters. Why shouldn't our professional blogs have characters, too?
