It’s been a long time since I posted here – almost 3 weeks. I was thinking about that the other day, wondering why its been so hard to get motivated the write, when I love writing. Here are my thoughts, which I jotted down in my journal: Aug 24, 2010 Right now, I just want to . . . → Read More: discouraged about writing – but still determined! Are you a beginning blogger, or just thinking of starting a blog? I read a good post today on basic ways to build and improve your blog. Kimberley Payne suggests: 1. Focus your blog If you’ve been following this blog for awhile, you’ll know already that I’ve been trying to figure out what to focus on. And I’ve decided this will be my WRITING AND PUBLISHING center. Which of course makes sense, since it’s my “Pen and Paper Mama” site! I particularly want to encourage folks who enjoy writing, but are . . . → Read More: Writing!!! July 20 (looking back over the past week or so) One of the reasons I haven’t been posting much here is that I’ve suddenly gotten much more involved in “growing my blog” over at My Church Journey. I’ve been following a number of other blogs related to the whole topic of changes in the way we . . . → Read More: commenting and commenting-on-comments and posting about comments…. and pondering what to do next with my blogs July 20 (looking back to July 9 and 10) Oh no! It’s happened again! Here it is July 20, and I haven’t posted since July 9. Actually, I’ve done a lot of posting over on my My Church Journey blog, and been involved in a number of conversations on other blogs, but somehow time has . . . → Read More: catching up … and wonderings (again) 1 July 2010 I was discouraged today because I have felt that almost no one is responding to my writing, especially my writing that is related to You. And I am feeling quite alone in regards to coming out of “structural/ institutional” church, at least here in this community. And then I was just sitting . . . → Read More: small to men, great to God May 29, 2010 Yesterday I posted two blog entries, both expressing frustration with some roadblocks I’ve run into recently with my writing and blogging. Although I haven’t received any responses in the comments section, I was delighted, this morning, to find some answers to at least one of them in a couple email newsletters to which . . . → Read More: answers to my questions! May 18, 2010 Just wondering…. Why does it seem there are so many more “successful” (large followings, money-making, influential/leader) male bloggers than female? Why are female authored blogs usually different than male-authored blogs? What are the differences, anyway? Why? (I really want to take a look and check that out!) Even on male-authored blogs, who signs up . . . → Read More: male or female bloggers? and followers? what’s the difference? does it matter? 18 May 2010 What do you expect from your “devotions” or your “time with Father” or whatever you call your focused time with God? Prayer … Bible study … spiritual enlightenment? How about some pretty direct “direction” about your business? I tend to think that God maybe kind of drops incidents and information and such in our . . . → Read More: a very unexpected conversation with Father May 17, 2010 New next-door neighbours moved in over the weekend. Very nice young couple with 3 children. Reminds me how I want to reach out to (and reach!) my neighbours! I’ve been wondering how to “grow” my “audience” – and at the same time wondering about what size and kind of audience is really necessary . . . → Read More: pursuing “success in blogging” ?? |
