But most of my time is spent writing, editing, rewriting, reading, reviewing, homeschooling...<br />Sometimes you have to stop and remember what is most important. For me it's writing.Kim Baccelliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304806976633973536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-80123774173225412862011-09-03T10:15:18.529-04:002011-09-03T10:15:18.529-04:00Margaret, Good post.

I read somewhere that 300 to 750 words is a good length for people to want to read. The other thing is to have theme days. What you've done is good. I blog seven days with a different theme for each day. Monday is the week behind and the week ahead. Tuesday is Inspirations books or things that inspire me, Wednesday is some aspect of writing. I've done months on characters and now plot, Thursday is interviews with other authors. Often allows you to gain members. Friday is a writing tip. Lately I've been ocncentrating on revision. Saturday I post a chapter from one of my books and Sunday I visit three blogs and let others know which ones I've visited.

I love to read good news about contracts, books, contests, etc. Book reviews interst me, as do giveaways. Love to win books.<br /><br />I'm not always consistent on my blog, but I try to post a review on Mondays. Or if I don't have a review, I'll just mention books I've recently read. I usually post on Wednesday, just whatever comes to mind. I know. That's not so good. Friday's the same. <br /><br />Note to self. I must get organized and be consistant.<br /><br />Good article.Beverly Stowe McClurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176195451841801819noreply@blogger.com
