Blogging schedule

I have to admit that this blogging class has been, and continues to be, very informative and helpful.  My assignment today is to create a blog schedule.  I don't know why, but I never even considered I should have a blog schedule.  Yet, it makes so much sense.  And it is already helping me come up with ideas for blogging.  That's the idea, right? Right!

My blog schedule will be that on Mondays I will tackle a specific subject.  It may be a gremlin attack, or comments about my favorite subject ... the dreaded adverbs.  Remember what Stephen King says:  "The road to hell is paved with adverbs."  Whenever I mention adverbs in my classes, the participants groan. Really, they groan out loud.  So that will be Mondays.

On Wednesdays, I will post prompts and first lines.  This will provide an opportunity for you (yes, you) to take off on a writing spree.  I will also post a question, along with my thoughts about the question. My hope is that you will respond to the question as well. Should be fun!

And on Fridays, I want to post an interview with a writer.  And when I don't have any interviews, I'll cover a how-to subject.  Fridays feel a little iffy for me if I don't have an interview, so I will work hard to make sure I have one.

Okay, what do you think of my schedule?  I'm liking it :)

Different direction

I'm back, again.  My plan for getting help from a book coach didn't work out so well.  It wasn't her fault, I just wasn't ready to commit.  So back at the drawing board I decided to take an online blogging class.  When it comes to blogging (in case you hadn't notice), I don't know very much and am hoping this will help me learn.  I started the class a week late and feel like the new kid in school, hanging around the edges of recess, kicking at the dirt and wishing I was a part of the group.  So today, I put aside some time and read all the posts, lectures, assignments, etc., and stepped forward. Time to get busy.

My assignment is to blog about my new focus.  Here goes:  In my experience with writers I have found a similarity most of us have -- the dreaded gremlin.  It often comes in disguise as "writers block," but in reality is just mean negativity.  With my blog, I want to provide suggestions on how to overcome these little and big varmints, and then provide support for when they weasel their way back in. 

Also, in an article on blogging, this line stood out to me:  "it is best to blog about what you are passionate about."  What am I passionate about?  Writing.  I get such a high when a writer I'm working with gets in the writing groove.  It is amazing how gratifying that is to me.  So that is going to be the focus for this blog.  I will be providing tips and tricks on how to overcome your gremlins, and offering information on writing, publishing and what comes in between.  Maybe I'll even post some interviews occasionally.

There is more I need to learn through this blogging class, but stay with me. I believe the best is yet to come.
