During the 3rd annual WordCount Blogathon, I’m using Sundays to re-run some of my favorite posts.
Today’s Best of WordCount edition is about inspiration.
During the days leading up to this year’s Blogathon, I’ve heard from writers who admitted to being apprehensive about their ability to blog every day. Part of the answer is being organized and planning ahead to give yourself enough time for the extra writing.
But the other part of the answer to managing the extra blogging is being inspired to do it. Sometimes all it takes is a shower, walking the dog or seeing something in the news or on TV to spark an idea, and you’re off and running.
Here are a number of posts I’ve written about those ‘aha’ moments.
Hopefully you’ll see something in them that will inspire you:
yes, fuel for the journey. much needed:) nice.
Great ideas! You are correct about the planning…once the planning is done- it seems the rest is easy :)…now just to find the time- but blogger.com offers a nifty feature which allows you to write ahead of time and program in when you want it to be posted. So when I’m out of town next week- away from all internet for 2 days- I can ‘pre-write’ my daily updates 🙂
Yep, those pre-write features come in handy – and all free blogging platforms have them, including Blogger and WordPress. I’m pre-writing a handful of posts at a time – right now I’m good through Thursday, May 6 – so I can keep the decks clear for blogathon administrative work, and for writing and editing assignments that take up most of my time during the weekdays. Pre-writing is also a great way to cover yourself over the weekend, so you can take a couple days off without looking like you’re missing your blogathon deadlines.
