Writing for an audience of one

Sometimes when someone tells me that they read my blog I become extremely self aware. I judge myself on every word that I write, and every idea that pops into my head is followed with, "oh god, but what's Bernard going to think of this?"

In that vein, I've been thinking a lot about audiences. I don't write specifically for women, but I'm fairly certain that most of my readers are women. I think my blog is pretty open to a male audience (except for the occasional wedding chatter), but I don't know how men would find my blog. Most of the blogs that I read are written by women and read by women. Can anyone recommend some good male-authored blogs?

    I am one of your few regular male readers.I am not sure if my blog counts as "good male-authored blogs" but it is uniquely me.

  4. Hi, Kage! There are several male-authored blogs that I follow, but they are also males who ARE authors and write about writing and crime and such, so maybe not what you had in mind.

  5. I'm a really big fan of Ryan at "Pacing the Panic Room" - he's an excellent writer and excellent photographer. xo
