During the month we have been using an article by Jane Friedman entitled How to Start Blogging: A Definitive Guide for Authors. Keep this link, we are using it again at our Sunday Chat.
This Sunday, let’s talk about what we should blog about.
Refer to the article for more complete information on these types of blogs.
- Easy: The literary citizenship model

- Easy-Medium: Write in your field of expertise

- Difficult: Personal essay or daily life
During my personal blog’s 12 year existence I have done the first item, and the Personal Essay or Daily Life.
Life is a Story – Tell it Big has gone through some very active times, followed by crickets. For a long time, I spotlighted authors and their works and called it Writerly Wednesdays.
During the time I was working on my anthology of houses, I wrote Fiction Friday Posts. Sometimes I would blog an on the spot response to a writing prompt.
Niles Giles: Vampire of Baltimore is a long running blog with new posts appearing every single Tuesday. This blog belongs to one of our very successful Chatroom Regulars.
The Graveyard Shift by Lee Loftland has been around forever and Lee is a consistent poster, as well.
Law and Fiction by Leslie Budewitz has two types of posts and she has been around and posting forever. Saturday Creativity Quote and Writing Wednesday, both geared toward writers.
Build Book Buzz by Sandra Beckwith is a blog that Screams “I AM FOR WRITERS!”
Well, this is enough to get you thinking and who knows, you may even consider writing a blog or re-awakening the blog you already have.
See you Sunday
