Re-configuring my blog

Yesterday, I was pointed to a fabulous blog post by Kaz Delaney http://kazdelaney.wordpress.com/2011/10/06/7-reasons-for-not-blogging/ While it's called 7 reasons for not blogging, what it is is a very concise view of the whys and why nots of blogging and how to deal with some of the issues that arise. I heartily recommend it.

A number one issue for me is coming up with content. Apart from providing some great ideas, Kaz also inspired me to get going with some ideas that I've had but haven't put into play.

So here's the story. As of this week Monday, Wednesday and Friday will be writing days on the blog. Monday and Wednesday are going to feature two part interviews with author mates on their writing habits and processes (which I've been thinking about for MONTHS but never got organised). On Friday, I'll give a run down of how my writing week has gone – the good, the bad and the ugly.

That's the main commitment I'm making – three blog posts a week. Others will happen as I think of them – posts about events in my life, posts promoting upcoming work and so on. Apart from giving me lots of content to write about, I hope it will provide interesting to you, the reader.

Because I'm still getting the questions together for the interviews, this week I'll be spending today answering some questions from newbie writers that have been posed to me over the past couple of months. Wednesday I'll provide a list of websites and blogs that I find particularly valuable and then Friday, you'll hear about my writing journey.

Next week I'll either have the first response to my interview and will be providing you with some interesting information from a successful writer or I'll make myself the sacrificial lamb.

I'll also be posting regularly around the internet and I'll link to those posts via my Twitter and Facebook accounts. There's also my monthly newsletter, for extra info and specials like free stories.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this new system works for me.
