Blogging: Plan It. Schedule It. Do It.

Blogging is not one of my strong points. Although I do have good intentions.

It's just, well . . . there never seems to be enough time in the day to do chores--like laundry, which I hate, and mowing, which I hate. And napping, which I don't do. Much.

Naps do have their place, however. It was with one such nap recently, that I realized I had to stop procrastinating and actually sit down and blog. I slice out a part of the day for my writing, and blogging is writing. So, what's the big deal?

Just Do It, as the saying goes. 

So, that's what I've done. Like everything else in my life: Plan It. Schedule It. Do It.

And I promise, I won't blog just to blog just to blog. I'll put some meat into it, as the saying goes. I'll include something any writer might be interested to know, whether it be contests, workshops, tips on writing craft, conferences, new agents, bloggers, editors, websites, books! Ah, yes, books.

I may even throw in some things I've learned. After all, every writer has something to offer our community of fellow writers.

So now that I've put myself out there and committed to blogging consistently, I'll have to forego one of my naps. Maybe.

Next up . . .

Missouri Writers' Guild Conference 2013 begins today!

Take a look at www.missouriwritersguild.com to see all the happenings. I'm excited about the great lineup of agents, speakers, and publishers this year, and of course, indulging myself with a new book or two at the book sale.

It'll be good to connect with old friends, and hopefully make some new ones, too.

And learn. Learn. Learn. Learn. One can never learn too much.

I'll keep you posted.

Cheers!
