The topic of blogging…
Has been cropping up in other writer’s blogs…
And in discussions with my writing buddies.
Do unpublished authors need to blog?
Does blogging take away from working on your W.I.P.?
What if you don’t have many followers?
Will that taint an agent’s opinion of you?
And always there’s…
Why do you blog?
Me?
I blog because I love writing…
What I blog about is never fodder for my W.I.P.
So if I don’t blog…
These thoughts would just bounce around in my head…
Like a ball in a lottery hopper…
Until I found someone to listen to me talk about them…
“Uh, huh, mom, *yawn* that’s nice…oh, I mean, that’s funny.” *yawn*
Once these thoughts are out of my head, my mind is calm.
But what I’m noticing when I social network with other writers…
Is that their blogs are way cooler than mine.
They do contests, their page is attractive with lots of pictures…
They have guest bloggers, and do book reviews.
My blog is, well… rather boring. *sigh* I know.
So for now…
If I’m asked—does blogging take time away from my W.I.P…
My answer is no…
But redesigning will.
So for now…
All I have to offer on my simple-looking blog…
Are my daily posts on life and the writing life...
With a twist of (or twisted) humor.
And that's enough for me.
Hope it's enough for you.
Always, Em-Musing
