I used to blog so much more about my family and life, with a good mix of book reviews. But my blog seems to be waning because I get more interaction with friends on FB. I need to revitalize it though. =) Thanks for the inspiration.Danyelle Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006907198681924095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281599665527326905.post-44755169575953898562013-11-22T00:17:56.068-07:002013-11-22T00:17:56.068-07:00I like your plan.

But I ran into the whole time crunch thing and dropped Fridays. Yesterday I announced I'm scaling back to just Wednesdays, at least until the end of the calendar year, unless there's something special I want to post about or a blog hop I want to be part of. There just isn't enough time to blog and visit other blogs.LD Mastersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202135756299574972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281599665527326905.post-83390073608754555152013-11-19T11:54:50.352-07:002013-11-19T11:54:50.352-07:00Right now my freshness is writing every week and n...Right now my freshness is writing every week and not necessarily sticking to schedule since I have to blog less.

I find personal posts the most interesting, but I do not mind when bloggers promote their writing or their artistic creations. I like a balance. I've only been blogging about a year, and I know how much work and time a good blog post can take. Some people seem to be able to blog on a schedule and with a plan, but neither works for me. So I post what I can, when I can, about whatever I feel like at the time. My original idea was to post as I wrote my memoirs of my childhood in Northern Canada, but I'm so interested in all kinds of things, that that hasn't worked for me. Good luck with your plan. I will look forward to whatever you post!

It started out lots of fun--great outlet--but became a burden, to the point that this year I've only posted four times. Since I don't get a lot of readership anyway, I'm wondering if it would even matter to anyone if I just shut it down. I started it to promote my writing, but that was five years ago, long before I got the book contract. Maybe I'll set some deadlines, like what you've done, and maybe that will make it feel less like eating an elephant and more like eating a chicken wing.Pam Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101099770476255954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281599665527326905.post-35705623069768366362013-11-18T11:23:16.475-07:002013-11-18T11:23:16.475-07:00Smart, Donna.

Now I'm booked out almost 6 months in advance with sharing peoples wonderful books and giving friends chances to win them. But, with all that excitement I've retain Mondays for insightful posts--a day for deep thinkers, and Fridays for fun--or cheese. I mean, who doesn't need to laugh?
