What works for me is how I "pace" my self. I make it a point to make sure I have a idea people might want to read, and learn from it. That makes it much more enjoyable.

More people quit blogging because of burnout than any other reason. Meryl, Eight years? You're really a veteran. It would be tough to keep up a pace of 5+ posts a week for that long, even if you had that many good ideas. Lance, I think you’re smart to pace yourself for the long run.

Evans Sun, 24 Aug 2008 22:53:31 +0000 http://www.wordsellinc.com/?p=904#comment-6834 I enjoy writing a blog post when I have a great idea and it just pours out. Otherwise, sometimes it's a struggle. After over eight years of blogging... a girl just gets tired. I don't pressure myself to post more than a couple of times a week. If I am not going to write a good post, I don't want to waste anyone's time with useless babble for the stake of posting. I enjoy writing a blog post when I have a great idea and it just pours out.

And it makes me feel alive when I post. But still, there are times when I'll draw a blank. What I've decided for me - is that if this happens, then so be it. I don't need to write then. I try to write 3-4 times/week. And after some experimentation, that seems to work well for me. And I think that's the key, to do what works for you. If you write everyday, but feel burnt out from it, then it's not worth it to do it that often. It's a balancing act so that it remains uplifting to you. That's my take, anyway.

I don't think bloggers ever get tired of seeing comments. Jean, Thank you for visiting Word Sell! Like Ulla was just saying, it's exciting to read comments, especially from new people. I've just been checking out your Cheerful Monk blog and I see what you mean. Playful and yet really instructive - a wonderful combination. Ulla, Your attitude is so refreshing!

It gives me plenty of time to play with ideas. I love your analogy...I try to approach life that way. That's what my blogs, especially Cheerful Monk, is about. My mantra for writing is "I'm going to sit down and play and find out all sorts of interesting things." If I'm changed by something I write I figure the piece is a success.

And it's always the question: how will the audience react? Will I get comments? And if yes, what will they say? That's an exciting feeling for me. And I love it!
