Having just read my friend Carole Fogarty’s post where she acknowledges me for “the awesome support”. I felt it was time to re emerge from my “blogging silence” of the past few weeks and start regular posting again.
I have been finding that that is easier said than done. I have over the past few weeks written in my head so many posts, unfortunately thinking about blogging is not blogging.
I do have a great list of potential blog posts. There is BlogWorld where met many famous bloggers, and learnt so much new information and went to a Web 2.0 Meet Up in New York. I have an abundance of topics to write about.
I have also become the proud owner of a Macbook which should have made it easier for me to post on the road.
Not that I am alone in in my lack of posting, Des has written: Confessions of a Travelling Blogger Who Blogged Too Little and Infrequently, even the best intentions went out the window while we travelling.
I haven’t even posted since I got back. That’s mainly because I contracted a virus probably from the long haul home from New York to Australia’s Gold Coast, that has had me laid low for the past week.
I am now looking for ways that will ensure that I don’t have the challenge of blog post-free travelling again. Any suggestions are welcome.

Funny that your doing a post about how your going to blog. Have a feeling that with a glass of wine and a relaxing surrounding you will let loose.

Oh, I love that. You normally hear that applied to writing, but it’s no less true for swapping the verb. Thinking about it is not doing it, and the only way to get better at it is to do it. But people get stuck in thinking a blog HAS TO BE DAILY. No, it really doesn’t. Sometimes the best ones are weekly updaters only.

I understand exactly where you’re coming from. I have a video game blog for the past four years that sees zero income. I write because I love gaming and I love writing. But sometimes, it’s hard to force myself to put my thoughts on a page, especially when only a few hundred people (if I’m lucky) are waiting for my next update.
I find that it’s better to do one 200 word post a day than one 1,000 word post a week. If you wait for a huge concept, you’ll miss the boat entirely. If you get in the habit of writing every day, the rest will come naturally.
