Blogging is Hard

You know what?  Blogging is hard.

Not hard like curing cancer, or stopping your two year old from drinking the bath water, but still it's challenging.

I've started this blog more times than I care to count and reworked it a couple of times - each time the gaps between posts seem to be longer than anticipated.  That's all fine and dandy for a personal diary, but its not exactly the kind of regular work that draws a crowd or keeps life interesting.  Its not like I was out of town, or sick.  I didn't have writers block or technical issues.  It's just that like all things, making a consistent effort to blog takes focus and deliberate action.

So - what to do about it?  I know that consistent effort is the key to successfully connecting with folks and to growing an audience.  I've also been told that it takes 28 days to form a habit.  So, in the interest of making this blog habit-forming, I am going to try to post regularly for a period of time to get myself in the groove.  If all goes well you will see posts from me at a rate of 2-3 per week for the next little while.

What about you reader(s)?  Any tips or pointers for staying consistent?

Update 30Apr2015: I've confirmed it - blogging is hard...and I failed at my goal of posting more often.  Oh well there's always tomorrow.
