Today is the first Wednesday of the month and that means it is time for an Insecure Writer's Support Group post. The link will take you directly to the group page. There is a Linky List there for anyone who would like to participate to sign up. This group is not just for published writers. Nope. Anyone who is struggling with writing is invited to join. Alex J. Cavanaugh founded the group a few years ago and it is now hundreds strong. Yeah, that means that there are a TON of Insecure Writers out there.
As many of you know, I have been on vacation for the last two weeks. We went to Las Vegas and then back to Augusta, GA, for a few days. During that time I have contributed NADA to my WIP. I returned home yesterday and all I had time for was to post my Battle of the Bands bout and vote on other people's battles on their blogs. (If you missed that post, I really hope you will follow the link back and vote for your choice. It is so much fun!!!)
It is safe to say that I am behind in Everything and my HERE'S TO YOU post is nonexistent. And tomorrow is Thursday.... Yikes!
So, let me tell you about what I have been contemplating that is writing-related and get your input on THAT.
I currently have two blogs. This one which I really like to use for non-writing things. This blog was created with the intention of addressing things that I felt were relevant in my life. I tend to believe that if it is relevant for me that it will also speak to YOUR human experience as well. I really wasn't kidding when I subtitled it Blog Therapy. My other blog, TV Junction Function, is all about things on TV. Sometimes I post on current TV shows and other times I take a step back in time and look at things that have been cancelled. If it was on TV (ever), it is possible that it may appear on that blog.
Since I have started writing (again), and following more blogs of writers, I now think that I just might need a THIRD blog. Yep. One that is strictly to promote other writers, acknowledge some of the great blogs or sites that I have found that help other writers, etc. I suppose my question for you folks who ARE writers, is that a good idea? Would you follow that blog? Do you have multiple blogs that you use for entirely different purposes? What has your experience been?
Most important... I don't want to be so consumed with blogging that my writing time dwindles down to nothing. It is becoming very clear to me that I must establish a balance. So, in addition to my question about the third blog, I am also willing to hear any strategies that have helped you to achieve Balance in your life.
Bring it on.
