Quick but Thoughtful Posts

I'm having a bit of trouble with my blogging. I have several blogs on different subjects, all of which I created with great enthusiasm and then let languish. Since I've decided that writing is important to me and that blogging is an excellent way to practice while communicating my views, I gave my problem some thought.

The solution I came up with is nothing new. Just get it down, quick and bite-size if necessary. The post doesn't have to be article length. For goodness sake, people don't want to read posts of that length most of the time anyway. I know that, having learned throught others' research and my own observations how people read online. If I set out every single time to write an organized, thoughtful, complete, perfect post, I'll seldom write much. As I write that truth, it doesn't feel so good, but it's true. Short, pithy, to the point, one or two pieces of information is fine. Now and then maybe a big one.

With that, I'll sign off for now!

I think your post is right on. Above is a project on improving a person's blog that I thought might interest you. The above link is to Day 7, but you can go back and do the other tasks as well. I find that I am already doing a lot of the things they you to do. I am happy that I am doing them,b ut concerned that I am still not getting the traffic I would like to have. I am sure things will improve.
