Writer's Blog Block
I've been trying to figure out what to blog about - a lot. So much so, that I haven't blogged for many days. It's almost like writer's block. I've been writing - or, rather, editing a lot. Working on my manuscripts. Working on promos. Working on new stories and old. I've been journaling every day. I've even been working on a new website.
But blogging? For some reason, I seem to have a mental block against this, even though I know it's a great place to promote my work and see and be seen. It's a good place to put down my thoughts about writing and and how it affects my life.
So why do I have such a problem? Could it be because I spend so much time writing or working on writing activities that this one tiny area my brain rebels and says "enough"?
Who knows. I do know I'll try to be better. Yeah, famous last words. Kind of like exercising and dieting - the intention is there, it's the execution that comes up lacking. But I am determined. So, we'll see how I do.
This is the first day of the rest of.... my blog. :)
Have a good one everyone.

I know exactly what you mean, Vicky. I also tend to put blogging on the back burner when I'm in the middle of edits. I know it helps with promo, but there's always so much else to do. Finishing another book helps my career too and selling it is great promo. That's my rationale for skipping blogging for days at a time.
