Something I’m beginning to find useful: I read a lot of blogs and find many of them inspiring in one way or another. What I do is bookmark them and save them with the ‘blogidea’ tag on my Evernote so that I can go back to it later and write a blog post that builds upon or responds to the original posts. If there is a collection of posts about the same thing that I know I’ll want to link to in my post I’ll tag them under ‘blogidea’ and write a description with the tentative title of the post I’m preparing to write.

I’m working on my blog design and will get back to writing once I have worked out some sort of editorial calendar to stay consistent. You’ve given me hope to move onward and upward! Thank you! I look forward to read more from you now that you are back in full gear.

what happened then? The other lists fell away so I decided to make mine more serious (though not strictly so), saving up articles during the week and providing commentary on whatever I damn well felt like addressing.

Another thing was making habits. The weekly feature addresses deadline, but I then needed to find a time and place I could consistently devote to blogging. I started using Utterli to post short, hopefully thoughtful bits via phone. It has worked. There’s always time to blog if you want it.
