Although I have been writing a blog for a few years, I still consider myself to be a newbie when it comes to blogging. I marvel at the ease with which gifted people can churn out multiple fascinating posts per day while I feel like I struggle at times to simply complete one remotely coherent post. Part of this is due to the job that I have, and the time that it requires each day. I seldom have the time to really focus on my blog and give it the attention that I feel it deserves.
I don’t mean to make this sound like a swan song for my blog, far from it. I am going to make the effort to really increase the quality and quantity of my outputs. I wonder how many others have had this problem? I would appreciate hearing from any of you about this. I suppose that writers block is the wrong term to use in this case. I will be experimenting with the style and theme of my blog in the hopes of getting it like I envision it, at least for the time being.
By this weekend, my blog will undergo a change of theme and I will try to add a few widgets to track entries by tags and categories. It might get messy for a while, but I hope that everyone will bear with me through the growing pains. I have encountered so many wonderful blogs that have given me ideas on what I would like my own blog to look like when I am finally done with the formatting.
Best of luck with the changes. I’m impressed that you manage a post a day consistently. Right now I still feel that I can’t commit to more than 3 posts per week – some weeks I struggle to find the time to do all 3. Having a full-time job makes it difficult, and I’m not organized enough to write a bunch of posts & schedule them, so I’ll plod along with my 3 a week for a bit longer. I had very good luck with both the 2015 & 2016 themes (they’re very clean & uncluttered) – and they both make it easy to categorize your posts so that there are multiple ways to find something. The hardest organizational part for me was going back & tagging/categorizing my older posts so that everything ended up where it should (& I still miss once in a while)
Thank you for the kind words. I find that writing each day helps me to maintain my focus on other things. It sounds weird, but getting even the most mundane things written down helps me a lot.
Not that weird, actually. 🙂
