[...] Polenth was before me in the chain and said “If the post is about eating bumblebees or cute froglets, I’m going to cry. You wouldn’t want that, would you?” [...]

Late (very) at commenting. As you now know, the work/family/creativity balance is one of my biggest issues these days. Good luck with your novel!

With blog posts, the whole world can come visiting and see the last time you posted. I find that creates a pressure to blog. It feels as if there is an expectation from the audience (even if that audience is only three or four people!).

The good news is that I’m starting to get freelance work, and I attribute that directly to the work I’ve done on my personal blog. At least I’m able to pay some bills while I work on my fiction novel. LOL

Best of luck to you! I really enjoy the voice of your writing. Fun to read.

I’m glad you’re discovering a balance between writing and blogging. I still haven’t figured that one out. When I get deep into a project, everything else (especially my blog) goes out the window. Bad Kelly!

Good luck with the rest of the novel. :)

I am very one-track minded…when I’m into the novel, I’m into it…then if I get out of it, it takes me a while to get back on track. In other words, I have no balance. At all.

Nice blog you have. It may be true that writing the novel might not bring feedback as immediate as writing the blog, but that doesn’t make me any less passionate about writing my novel. Actually, I didn’t start doing a blog until after I finished the first draft, so maybe it’s a little different situation. Working on a first draft at the same time as a blog would be hard!

Yeah, I’m very new to this and obsessed with my statmeter. Where did they come from. What’d they look at? How long? Why haven’t they been back?

And Technorati? I’m one link into the C list. Yeeeehaw!

I’m about 5 chapters from running out of chapters that I’m just editing and updating and I swear to God I’m gonna pick up the ball and start writing new ones if it kills me.

BTW, I’m also one of those who thought the Chain entries sounded like a great idea but wanted to see one in action before trying to participate. If you guys do it again, I’ll probably want to try.

Congratulations to you for returning to writing. I understand the difference between blogging and novel writing, I feel the same way many days. Now, I’d love to write more but I 20:44-20:56 is scheduled for obsessing over my blog stats!
