Taking a break is something that I feel every blogger ought to do at some point during their blogging career. It is not healthy to keep writing post after post after post day in day out with out a break.

You start to think 24,7 about blogging how you can impact your blogging career increase growth, thinking of new topics it soon takes over your life. I think having one day a week off from the computer and blogging is a great idea for keeping sane.

FRESH and RELEVANT is without a doubt the key to overcoming apathy. I think depending on the audience you want and/or attract, it is essential to provide fresh and relevant ideas to keep everyone engaged. I have just started my blog and I am amazed and how few people post a comment on the blog itself but will email a volume and a half on their interpretation of my posting. I love it. It’s many of these wonderful conversations that have sparked some really unique and interesting virtual friendships.

I have found that much of what I say is really, really common sense but the commentary I do get back (generally offline) is fun and engaging. Through it, I have seen a whole new side to the “virtual ripple” which now has many people requesting my book, asking for details on upcoming speaking engagements and requesting time to visit “live!” Can you believe it…someone wants to actually chat LIVE!

I think the first step to winning any war is to have the right weapons and that I believe is tapping into the pulse to get someone jazzed and talking…either online or offline. It’s a great combatant to apathy!

Ripple On!

I have been able to over come apathy about posting on my blog by remembering how disappointed I am when I got to the blogs I read regularly and they do not have fresh content. Some who have gone a week or more get deleted from my blogroll, as I want my readers to be able to find good and current information when they use the links on my blog to check out other sites.

My theory is that if I don’t post something, then my regular readers might desert me, like I do to others who get lazy in regards to posts.

I agree with the new stimuli and just write strategy. I’m finding that getting tons of info from the internet sometimes frustrates me because of the never ending nature of it, which in turn stops me from accomplishing anything. Buying a book sounds like a good idea because it can be done away from the PC, and knowing that there’s an end to it :)

Just writing is something I’m trying to practice. I find it hard to find ideas sometime and end up not blogging for days.

Unfortunately Markus’ idea doesn’t always work for me. Anything that I write too far in advance often sounds flat and uninteresting.

Sometimes, if I’m writing a series I can sit down and pound out several in one sitting but if each piece I’m writing is unrelated, or there are too many of them, then what I write becomes dull as my brain slowly sinks into something that must resemble a trance.

I’m sitting here doing some work like that for a client and was just getting to trance point when I decided to take a break and read some more of the blog.

before having a break just write some posts and schedule them to the time you need a break if possible. Some days you can write 20 posts.
So publish 15 and save 5 which don’t need to be actual for the time you need a break.
