I received an email in the Smile Big and Pretty inbox the other day saying,
"Please. Don't be one of those actors who wrote engaging little stories and then disappeared off the face of the Earth when they moved to Hollywood."
It went on to say one or two very flattering things about my writing and how they looked forward to new pieces and video blogs. It then went on to chastise me and say how disappointed they were because I haven't been posting as frequently as I used to. It's a much appreciated reminder that I have an audience that genuinely likes what I put out there.
My favorite line was,
"Don't talk about 'saving it for the book deal' if you give up on consistently pushing and challenging yourself to generate quality content."
Blunt - but very, very true. So, thank you, Person.
Since life has recently forced to understand the importance of deadlines, organization, and being on top of things in general (both literally and metaphorically - I'm looking at YOU, table), I am going to start posting on a regular schedule.
Tuesdays: New written entries.
Fridays: New video blogs.
You read correctly. I am binding myself to a regular schedule of both written and video content.
Well this is exciting! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't write the email, but I totally agree with it! I have a posting schedule too (Tues and Thurs) and it sounds silly, but it really helps me to "generate content" (do you miss corportate buzzwords?) and know when I'm doing what, blog-wise.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm glad to hear it- and glad that person emailed you!
ReplyDeleteI really should set myself to a posting schedule. It would probably keep me from going days between posts and then posting for a week straight. I need some consistency I guess.
ReplyDeleteYaaay! I like schedules! of course we look forward to reading!!
ReplyDeleteA twice a week schedule works wonderfully for me. And when I let it fall by the wayside I feel terrible and it encourages me to get back into the groove.
ReplyDeleteI hope it works out well for you.
