in Thoughts Opinions & Memories Tags: Blog, Blog Post, Bloger, Blogging, thank you
This is really a message to all those bloggers who have recently followed me, and of course to those of you who have been with me since the beginning…
I have steadily been growing my follower numbers, and feel that I haven’t been able to do what I used to do, which was to individually thank you…. but what with work, family, and home life, I get such little time on WordPress, to do all that.
I follow you back, and I eagerly read posts in my reader, when I can sit down and do so.
My blogging etiquette requires that I acknowledge everyone who interacts with comments, and I like to comment on posts I feel something for too. So it seems that my responses to comments have eaten into my time usually reserved for perusing new blogs thoroughly, as there are more of them to answer nowadays!
But I still wanted to say THANK YOU to you for following my blog, and I hope I can write to your liking, so you never regret that ‘follow’!!!

I was just having a think, as you do, and whilst reading many of the blogs I follow I noticed there are comments regarding ‘working on my post’, scheduling of posts, and I didn’t manage my ‘post per day’ etc.
My thunking, yes thunking, was ‘Oh! Should I be doing at this planning??’
My blog style is pretty ‘fly by the seat of my pants’! Whatever hits me at that time, I will just write about, as soon as I can. There might be 2 posts, or 10 a day, depending on how my mind is working.
I do have a notes app in my phone where I collate ideas. So if I’m wandering around and inspiration hits, I quickly add it, to write at a later date.
If creativity hits, I write the poem then and there!
Obviously the fiction is more a work in progress.
I have no ‘system’ so to speak!
My one regular weekly thing is Spidey’s Serene Sunday’s, brought on by a silly figure of my Son’s, left in a strangely calming position one morning!
It’s funny, but in reality, I need to know what is happening every minute of the day, and I need dates and times for everything, but in the blogosphere, I am just so ‘chillaxed’!!
Yes, I will read over a wordy piece several times so it makes sense, and there are no glaringly obvious typos or grammatical errors. But in general, I don’t edit a piece to death. It’s pretty raw, honest, I guess… Like me!
I feel the passion at a specific time to write that particular piece, and it doesn’t come out right if I plan it too much!
What about you? Do you schedule? Do you have a system? Or are you like me? Flying by the seat of your pants?
