I have become a fan of The Pioneer Woman on Food Network. (No, I really don’t cook that much but I love her program.) Ree Drummond is pretty much a super woman: has a TV show, blogs, writes cookbooks plus two books about her dog Charlie, is married to a cowboy she calls Marlboro Man, has four cute kids that she homeschools, does photography, helps run a cattle ranch just to name a few!
SO, to move on to the subject of my blog today: her post Ten Important Things I’ve Learned about Blogging. Her ten points are good but number two is what I struggle with most:
2. Blog often.
Whether you write a sixteen-paragraph essay about the cosmic implications of a free market system, a one-paragraph description of what happens to your soul when you walk into your godforsaken laundry room, or a simple photo and caption, consider your blog a precious bloom that requires daily nurturing.
And watering.
If you water a plant once every two weeks, it will shrivel.
So true so I have resolved to work on blogging often! If Ree, with her show, kids, cowboy husband, ranch etc. then I, with my full-time RVer traveling, my Raider fan husband, and my fun retirement position at Laguna Seca raceway should be able to do better.
I’m blogging as I monitor the decibel levels of the cars on the racetrack!
I will nurture my precious bloom!
I think this "tip" is important at so many levels. I think I'll go check out the other 9.
ReplyDeleteAs for your life, I'm slightly jealous. It sounds more and more attractive to me as we near retirement!
Have a great day and rest of the week...
Got a chuckle out of your post! That's good you are going to post more often.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your visits and comments, too. Susan
I can't imagine trying to do it all. I can barely keep up with the daily grind as it is and still have me time. I do try to blog often and to visit other bloggers -- that's important, too. Wishing you a wonderful day. Tammy
