Veg Plotting, I have many times thought the same thing about my blog name! And I think it more and more as I focus on farmers markets here in Japan. Such is life.

Van, Wow! How cool is that!! Thanks!

Julie and Anjuli, I think many of us really struggle with focus. Life is just so darn interesting, isn't it? I have given some thought to zombies in the garden, but no post on that yet. ;)

As I looked at what you said- I was nodding my head- these are the very things I am wanting to do- I've been trying to stick with the photos for each post- but don't always get there. The posting regularly and getting topics and being focused- this blogathon has really showcased to me that I have been lacking in those areas.

I have been thinking of moving to a more professional look- but am in a quandary as to what it should be- or if I really want to go there- inotherwords, what is my blog about anyways- I feel I don't want to showcase it until I really get my focus down. Your blog has always seemed VERY focused to me- and I've admired it for that reason!!!!

I didn't get my "lessons learned" post done either because I was out of town. However, you've hit on one of my main issues. I, also, could use more focus. I mean, in my mind I have focus as defined in my tagline "traveling through the world, the second half of my life, etc" but it's not the laser focus of those just on gardening, or writing, or vampires. Like you, I just don't want to narrow it any more than that.

Excellent lessons learnt.

I'd add another for myself - have another blog name. When I started, Veg Plotting was a good name because I intended writing solely about my allotment and growing my own food. However, I quickly changed my writing to cover so many other topics. By then it was too late to change as it's a name which sticks in people's minds.

I'd also choose a name much earlier in the alphabet!
