The secret of blogging …
Is posting often. I’ve long known this, but I’ve never been able to get into the blogging habit the way Chris has.
You know what’s making me think of this now?
Over the weekend I made about half a dozen posts, and saw traffic jump almost immediately. Usually, blog traffic is much lighter on weekends, but not this one past. More posts = more unique words = more things for people to come to look at your blog for.
Like Human-Shark Hybrids, for instance.
I’m going to have to write another of those and post it – that novel isn’t going anywhere for a while. It’s no more than a fifth priority, behind:
- Finishing Knave for the fourth time
- Working on Folds – my magic-realism YA novel. I’ve got about 25K words, an outline I can’t wait to stray from, and a whole lot of energy for it in the back of my head.
- A new near-future police procedural I thought of while Boskoning – probably a novel, although the idea started out as a short
- A joint project with Chris
- Ta da! The Selacchiad! Got about 7-8K words in the can, and I haven’t even gotten to the stuff I wrote on the blog.
Since I’m not going to be working on the shark novel for a while, I can give myself permission to blog it some more.
I wouldn’t want to lose my coveted #1 – and #2 – ranking for the phrase, "human-shark hybrid," after all.
So, here I am with renewed energy for blogging and for writing in general, and I’m going to Disneyworld!
