I was going to write and post this yesterday but then I got involved in giving myself a pretty new mani/pedi (pink with white polka dots, awesome) and spaced on writing this. I know that I've committed myself to a lot over the next month or so between NaNoWriMo and getting ready for the 2013 Blogging from A to Z Challenge by writing short stories for this blog and embroidering for my craft blog. Add to that my ongoing struggles with weight loss and that's a lot of things to concentrate on and keep straight. I know that I can handle all of it but I don't want my blogs to fall by the wayside in the process. So I've decided that for this one I'm going to begin doing daily updates on each of those major projects and maybe write a blurb about anything else going on.
The format may change over the month but as of right now, I'm planning on it being pretty much a form that I can just fill out. Like this:
NaNoWriMo
Where I Should Be:
Where I Actually Am:
Weigh Loss
Where I Should Be:
Where I Actually Am:
Crafty A to Z

Where I Actually Am:

By saving that as a template in Blogger, I'll be able to go in each night and spend a few minutes filling it in and letting everyone know what's going on. It's actually going to be useful for a couple things. First, to keep the blog from falling dormant. But also by laying out where I should be and where I'm actually at each day to you, it will be a good system of keeping track of myself. I'll be able to see if I'm staying on track or straying from the plan. As of right now, I don't know if I'll be writing other posts or just sticking to the daily updates. We'll see as the next month progresses. Thanks for sticking with me as I develop my new routine.

We each have to figure out what works best for us in this blogging sphere!
ReplyDeleteYeah. That's what I'm trying to do. Hopefully this works.
