Blogging Failure

My blogging goal for 2010 was to post 3 times a week: on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 6am. I typically write each post the afternoon or evening before it's scheduled, and when I get up the next morning I paste links into LinkedIn groups and on bizsugar.com. For six months I posted on time without fail, even while on vacation. My schedule had never been broken. Until today.

Pat,

We all miss deadlines at some stage and a blog post is no different. Let us know if it had any affect on your blog stats.

Yoni, Thanks for the heads-up. I have now read your entry and blog post and commented on your idea. I am all for it.

Yoni,

The blogging shouldn't be a duty, it should be a activity you have done by your free will. I like your analogy with wine. My EGO blog has aged since 2002. That could qualify to become a tasty wine after 8 years, don't you think? :) Right now I am taking a blog break. If you are interested in becoming a guest blogger, please send me an email or write a comment.

P.S. By the way: I like the headline on your blog. I think the next step for BizSugar could be a book...

Pat,

No harm done is 100% correct. Blog when inspiration strikes. never force it. Think of this episode as having given yourself the leeway and freedom to do so. There used to be a very famous commercial with Orson Wells in which he would say, "We sell no wine before its time." Think of a blog as that wine. It needs to be cultivate and aged. then it's ready.
