Bloggers Block-Do you have it?

Everyone talks about writers block. But seldom do they mention a lesser known block that plagues writers and bloggers around the world-bloggers block.

Well, today I read a really great blog post by Jody Hedlund about 'Perserving Through Blogging'. And two tips that I'm thinking about trying are, setting a schedule to blog and sticking to it, and writing in advance. I've tried these things in the past, but I wasn't able to keep up with the schedule. So I think I'm going to start with baby steps.

So here's the new schedule, folks.

What's Up Wednesdays-(What I'm up to personally and professionally with writing)
Saturdays & Sundays-(Writing or Teaching Tips/articles/videos Or Book reviews)

  2. Oh, I read Jody's blog post as well. She is an amazingly consistent blogger, but as a mom of five, she has got to be SUPER organized. I don't think the schedule thing would work for me. As soon as I feel like I "have to" do something, I lose all interest and motivation.

  3. M.C, Thanks! It'll be a struggle, but I think I can do it.

    Corey, I agree. She has to be super organized. I can't imagine writing novels and raising 5 children, simultaneously.

    And to be honest, I'm not sure that I'll be able to pull off the schedule either. But I'm going to give it a try. Maybe it'll be just the kick in the pants that I need to make this blog a success. If not, I can always delete that post and pretend it didn't happen. Only two people responded anyway. So the odds are that not too many people will remember my schedule. LOL:)
