Okay on the new sched, but don’t change who you are AKA don’t let the dust bunnies take over. If they learn to type, your WIP isn’t the only thing they could compromise.

I don’t blame you! So much goes into your posts, that I’ve often wondered where you find the time.

Enjoy your new schedule… oh, and the dusting. Just saying

I didn’t know how you kept up the daily for so long! Good for you for setting yourself priorities. So organized!

Haha, Laura I think you’re right. Writing always comes first! The MWF seems like a good way to start.

Andrea, I definitely will play it by ear. Who knows? I might be in such blogging withdrawal that I’ll go back to a daily thing, but I have a feeling that probably won’t happen…

Housekeeping?? What’s that? (Just kidding.) I think writing a daily blog does keep you/me/us away from our work. Your new blog schedule sounds both reasonable and doable. Play it by ear and see how it goes.

I totally understand. I decided to play it safe and start with M,W,F and then if it was a breeze up to five days a week. But, so far, three is working out. We all know that writing tops the list before housecleaning! Laura

Heather, it didn’t seem crazy at the time, but as my schedule has gotten busier, it’s been harder to keep up. And you’re right that it can be good to let readers catch up on posts.

Karen, I probably will “cheat” and blog on off days once in a while. You can’t imagine what a disaster my house is right now. I should post before and after photos, but I think people would get scared.

Ha, love that pic! Seems reasonable to me. This is what I’ve had to do, but sometimes blog more if something comes up.

Happy housecleaning! You can come down to Atlanta next

Blogging five days a week seems a bit crazy! I’m glad you are giving yourself a break. Balance is such a tough thing to find in a writing life. I actually like giving people a few days to comment on something–people don’t always check blogs every day.

But–good for you for marathon blogging like that, five days a week. People can always catch up on your older posts if they need their Anna fix every day!

Thanks Julia. I thought it sounded reasonable too. Now I just have to make sure my extra time isn’t wasted on Twitter!
