I think the blogging would come easy if I could get past this block. I've gotten so wrapped up in this stupid chapter, I'm ready to throw it all in the fireplace and have done with it. *sigh* It's almost become not fun anymore.nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-8338554864813975052010-01-20T19:14:48.242-05:002010-01-20T19:14:48.242-05:00Unlike Anonymous, I actually LIKE blogging... but ...Unlike Anonymous, I actually LIKE blogging... but I am so worn thin, and I don't want to bore readers...<br /><br />Thanks so much for the advice!

Sing it, sistah. I'm not blogging ...Oh, Lynn. Sing it, sistah. I'm not blogging because I'm a novelist who wants to write books, damn it. <br /><br />I long for the good ol' days, when writers could simply write good novels, instead of having to allocate what little precious writing time they can squeak out from the day job doing all this extranneous social networking crap that "someone" thinks - but certainly can't prove - sells books. <br /><br />Sometimes I think publishers have shot themselves in the foot by transitioning so much responsibility for promo to the author - whose expertise is, um, emphatically NOT PROMO. To quote Dr. McCoy, "I'm a novelist, not a publicist!" <br /><br />As an author who increasingly resents spending what little writing time I have developing a marketing plan filled with social networking activities that everyone tells you you "have" to do - but which no one can prove actually results in sales - thank you for letting me get this off my chest.

How many times have I made up excuses (which seemed like such legitimate "reasons") for a block instead of just dealing with it?Margaret Yanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464624057491288244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-23834513374106156032010-01-20T08:10:04.655-05:002010-01-20T08:10:04.655-05:00I love these tips.

I divide my blog between marketing info, homesteading and Prudent Penny posts.<br /><br />My problem is finding the time to write these posts. <br /><br />During the holidays, I managed to write quite a few future posts, but now my time is getting squeezed again. <br /><br />Obviously, I need another holiday.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-4663134237574327252010-01-20T03:31:24.543-05:002010-01-20T03:31:24.543-05:00Excellent post!

I've a number of community blogs(writer/reader focused) as well as my personal one - i wasn't use fb, LJ, myspace and twitter enough to be affective, so i got rid of them. Felt very nice!! :)Emily Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707967073095394090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-56784776513017634302010-01-20T02:06:15.184-05:002010-01-20T02:06:15.184-05:00Excellent blog that i enjoyed my reading here.Excellent blog that i enjoyed my reading here.Article Directory Scripthttp://www.ajsquare.com/products/article/index.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-4916058746958563212010-01-20T00:40:45.683-05:002010-01-20T00:40:45.683-05:00Very timely, lol.
