So when I started my blog, I thought I was set. I had a plan. I had three posts written and ready to go. I had more to say than I knew what to do with.
Then I used my three posts…without having written anything to replace them.
Then life seemed to get even busier than it had been, and my plan flew out the window.
When I got my new job, I thought, “OK! This is awesome! I’ll be working in social media every day. SURELY, now the blog posts will fall into place!” I mean, why wouldn’t they? I use social media every day. I’m reading blog posts every day – and we all know I have an opinion on things. Sadly, I wasn’t right on that account, either.
So I’ve learned this blogging thing is harder than it looks.
What I’ve noticed, though, is that no matter how far off course I’ve gone, no matter how I am/was “failing” my blog, the thought has never crossed my mind to give it up. My closets and shelves are littered with projects that ran their course – scarves half knitted, books half read, things that lost my interest and motivation to do.
But my blog isn’t in that category. My blog is like my true friends. The ones that I can pick up with, no matter how much time has passed since the last time we talked. (Yes, Kelly B, Kelly R and Heather, I’m looking at you!) And I know one of the key “to do” items with a blog is to be consistent. So maybe my consistency is being inconsistent. Totally surprise my readers when I actually post. Right? Then it’s kinda like Christmas! ha ha ha
I will continue to try and be better at blogging more often and on a more consistent basis. Who wouldn’t want to set goals and continually try to hit them? And as always, if you have suggestions, ideas, etc. on what I should blog about, send ’em my way! They’re always welcome!
‘Til next time…whenever that is. 🙂
