So, clearly, I’ve not posted right in line the next day from the previous publication in this series. Woe is me (or as I typed in absent minded fashion, initially, Whoa)!
This has prompted my thought patterns the past couple of days to ask a question of myself, “What is the best posting frequency, FOR ME? I love the Steven King school of blog posting from individuals that have all the time in the world to do nothing but wax poetically on anything and everything that forms in their swirling mass of gray matter. At the same time, I also tend to enjoy the more infrequent, but well thought out, formed, informed, tending to encroach on the journalistic approach to writing a blog post, posts.
You’ll understand that I’m clearly not laying waste to those using the medium to simply off load the data on their internal hard drive. Hell, I’m no different! And if I had the time (that I HAVE TO ASSUME multi-posts per day bloggers must have) to do all that writing, I’d likely be a Steven King Jr. writer as well. If you know me, you know that I talk a LOT when I start talking. And if you’ve ever received an email from me it probably went something like this:
From You: Hey, James. How goes it? Got the info. When is good to sound chat?
My response:
From Me: About twelve pages of rolling, rambling, on going text that tells you in the most minute of details ever single thing that has anything to do with something related to answering your question pertaining to how it might be going for me in that very moment, the next moment and moments yet to come, but that will come because, they have always done so since the bowl of primordial soup was heated up. And now on to answer your “when is good to chat” question
See? You just cannot trust me to simply say, “Going great. How about 2pm tomorrow?” Send!
Which, again, brings me around to wondering what your writing habits look like. And how do your current habits compare to where you’d really like to be in your production?
