I've been writing here since December 2005 - almost 6 years! Initially this was just a journal for me, and I kept it semi-private. But the past few years, I've been writing more and more, both in publications like the Burnside Writers Collective, guest blogs or columns picked up by others, and in professional journals.
I have a voice on a variety of topics, but I lack the consistency to keep it moving, and to develop a committed audience. I want to branch out my writing into a professional topics of libraries and technology, but I'm struggling to balance all of the projects and committees and meetings that take up more than the time I have available. And frankly, I'm often too lazy to get up earlier in the morning.
But the time has come for me to get my blogging mojo back, and I have an excellent resource to help me. Bryan Allain has published an eBook called 31 Days to Finding your Blogging Mojo. It's clear and concise with suggested exercises that not only don't take a lot of time, but gives you immediate and critical feedback on your blog, your audience, and your concepts, and your perspective. My plan is to dedicate the month of October and follow through all 31 days in the month, but I've already read the book, and I know it will benefit me immensely. It will help you, too.
And it's really, really funny.
