A Very Short Dither
This happens every now and then. This iteration was brought on by the fabulous Peggy DeKay of The Business Of Writing Today. She gave a talk on self-publishing to the Corydon writers' group, Quills and Quibble, last night. Her advice on blogs for writers:
Have one. Check
Set up an RSS feed so people can subscribe to it. Check
Post regularly. Check
Not every day. Ch– Excuse me?
She said posting every day causes reader fatigue. I'm like, "I'm writing the freakin' stuff! If I ain't tired, where do they get off bein' tired?"
But that's what the lady said.
I know what she means: I subscribe to a world of bloggers, some of whom post every day. And you know what? Some of them I read every post, and some of them I read the ones with the headlines that intrigue me.
So I'm asking again. I enjoy posting every day, but I'm thinking of my subscribers. Would it be better for you if I pare this down to, say, four days a week: Writing Monday, Food Wednesday, Friday Recommends and Sample Sunday? Or are you content to do as I do, and read what you want to read and skip what you don't want to read?
WRITING PROMPT: Someone tells a character he or she spends too much time with a third person, that the third person will get tired of seeing him or her.
