My Blogging Life

Published by jodapoet at 9:02 am under Writing Edit This

Well it’s been about a month since I began blogging on Today.com.  I had no idea really what I was doing when I began.  I did have a myspace blog though I rarely posted anything and when I did it was usually just poetry.

Before beginning my blogging life here I was never really a disciplined writer.  I was one of those writers who supposedly needed that spark to get those creative juices flowing.  Now that I write on a daily basis on both of my blogs I realize that it wasn’t a matter of not being inspired to write or not having those juices flowing but rather just being lazy and talking myself out of writing.  I used to think having writer’s block was part of the creative process.  I now know it’s just about being lazy.  I’m in a totally different mindset now that I’ve been posting my blogs.  I look forward to coming up with new and different ideas and getting them out to my readers.  It’s fun, invigorating and inspiring to a point where I just can’t stop writing.  It’s been a definite positive influence on me and I absolutely love it.  Thanks to my readers and to Today.com

    I know what you mean about blogging. I have been doing it for a few months. Before that, I had never been a writer of any kind. Sure, there are days when I have a little more trouble coming up with topics, but for the most part, I have found it easier to write once I really got into the routine of blogging every day. Keep up the good work!

    I’ve been blogging for several years, but it’s only in the last year or so that I’ve settled down to serious writing. It’s true that the more you write, the easier it is to write. If nothing else, steady pay is a good incentive, and today.com, from what I see so far, is one of the best for providing that incentive.

    I hope you continue to be inspired and energized. There’s great satisfaction in writing.

    I’ve been blogging about cultural events in Toronto for a while now, so I didn’t have quite the same issues with discipline.

    But I’ve really been enjoying doing it at Today.com too, because my topic is books, and I doubt I’ll have any trouble saying something about books every day. It’s been quite fun!

    I’m glad you’re enjoying this. And thanks for peeking into my blog yesterday.
