Much appreciated feedback.

I think that is one of the major things that annoy me with my own writing, that what I write in the end is just another life story about one human on this planet. I try to make it interesting, but there is so much you can do.

It worked for HST, but I am not sure I am ready or willing to start taking all kind of drugs and do things that might be illegal, just to have an interesting and unique story.
You maybe got away with it at that time, but now, the slightest thing that might seem deviant and even unlawful they will gladly lock you up.
Maybe not lock you up, but you will at least get branded for the rest of your life. Getting the wrong brand can be a career killer on so many different levels it is not even funny.

It is kind of ironic though. I feel I kind of have a unique story to tell; Norwegian living in Oz trying to understand their culture. Still, as I am not writing about the latest fashion and how shallow and/or promiscuous I am, I am not getting readers. It is kind of sad that being shallow and promiscuous is what give your readers.
I am referring to these fashion blogs and those who write about their sexual encounters or how it was to be a prostitute.

I can only hope my day comes and my big story will soon be around the corner.
Again, HST never expected his article ‘The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved’ to be popular; as he thought it was pure rubbish himself.
Hopefully I will write my own ‘The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved’ soon.

Most of the the posts are about your trials and tribulations, and as such, not that interesting to persons that do not know you. It is not the writing that makes a writer great really, it is what he/she writes about, the development of a descriptive language comes naturally in this process. You just write about you (most of the time), and you is just another human that is having some problems like everybody else. A diary blog, like 80% of the blogs out there. Not that it is anything wrong with that, but you cannot really expect to capture a wide audience.

I find what you write interesting from a existentialistic point of view. You document a humans search for identity very well and I am looking forward see what you will end up defining yourself as.
