I’ve been noticing lately that many of the blogs that I follow through their RSS feed are doing good to put up one new post every two weeks, some even once a month. A very few are daily or very nearly so. I can tell you which ones I pay a lot more attention, too. In fact, if a blog isn’t updated pretty regularly, I drop it off my RSS reader after a while.

Maybe it’s just that I’m a writer – but I managed at least once a week on my blog even when I’m not writing something any more profound than “hi, how are ya, I’m still alive”. I like to think I’m usually a bit more profound than that – but I have had some projects lately that are not “on line” projects and thus not you know – real sharable on the blog.

Today I collected my free tarot reading (gift to members at tarot.com) and one of the things it mentioned was that I am very good at motivating myself to do what I think of “the daily chores”. I don’t even think of it as being motivated. It is just what I do. I get up, I get dressed, I feed Pearl, I feed the outdoor animals, I come in take my shoes off and pet the dogs, then get my coffee and start the “optional” part of the day. Well, generally with my not so optional meditation. Of course, my New Years New Habit challenge is to put ten minutes of yoga in there between dog petting and coffee getting.

Put these two thoughts together and here is what comes out. I am going to start thinking of blogging as one of the daily chores. Feed, clean house, meditate & yoga, blog, then work in other stuff. Now I’m not saying the Cauldron will see me every day. You know I have several other blogs, most of them adult. Since the adult sponsors have been the ones sending me money lately – those adult blogs will be seeing me frequently, too. But at least ONE of the blogs will get an entry every day.

Back when I had 13 blogs, I often blogged all day. Starting with reading the news and email, everything seemed to be something to go on one blog or another and I’d end up spending most of the day at it. In the long run, it paid pretty well, too

To anyone who blogs, and has the intention at least of making money with their blog – really, you need to post a good entry at least once a week, but preferably every few days. Otherwise, well, I’ll probably drop you off my RSS reader. I don’t think I’m that much different from anyone else. Just so you know.

Oh yeah, Happy New Year. If you are celebrating, please be safe.
