I’ve read several articles about how blogs can be used by writers to gain a following and be noticed. And I have to admit that that was the main reason why I started a site for myself. However, at this moment in time and probably for at least another 3 to 6 months I hope I do not get noticed, at least on a large scale.
I hope a few friends and family wander on in to my den of thieves and post a comment or two. I hope those comments inspire me to think and reflect and learn from my blogs and thereby improve. I also hope that the act of writing posts on a regular basis will improve my writing. And maybe curtail my tendancy to babble on.
I also hope to learn how to keep on task and meet a deadline. I have set myself the goal of writing a new post at least three times a week. I have had this site up for three months and I haven’t met that goal yet. So I changed the goal. I am now going to write a new post every day. This way if something crazy happens around the house that prevents me from writing, I should get those three posts I want.
Attention I wish I wasn’t receiving is from the spammers. Gah! I have made it a daily ritual to visit my site just for the purpose of deleting all of their posts.
So while my writing improves from the daily practice, I hope you, my few and far between readers, enjoy my posts and feel free to comment. I would love to hear what you have to say.
