Habit Forming

11:46 AM / Posted by Mariel /

I started my 30-day Blog Challenge with the premise of creating a habit of blogging more consistently, and being more vigilant with tending to my online life.

As I was pondering the challenge, I also came across a similar program called "31 Days to Build a Better Blog" by Problogger, which is in e-Book form (although I also stumbled upon a website that listed each item on the book). I thought twice about buying because I wasn't ready to part with $19.95 just yet. And I figured, I just want to try writing freely for 30 days, and proceed with the more technical/structured 31 Days afterwards. Anyway, I did buy a different book from Problogger but it hasn't arrived in the mail yet. (I like paper :) )

So now, I'm on day 18, and some days it's just hard to get writing. I do have many ideas banked but I get lazy days when I just don't feel like expounding on them. At the same time though, I have an O.C. streak that makes me want to finish with flying colors.

Anyway, hope you're all having a great holiday weekend!

What I do is bank posts and just date them for the future so they just publish themselves. Like right now I have 4 posts already lined up so I have weeks I don't blog but the blog looks updated anyway!

Hi, Neighbor! Thanks! I'm actually just starting to figure that out now, it's quite cool. The Coco-Cool post I actually wrote the same day as Something Old, Something Borrowed :)
