Blogging without Burnout

Following on from my previous post...

Have realistic expectations. Building up a substantial readership is difficult, and the blogosphere is overcrowded; its highly unlikely that blogging will bring you fame and fortune. Blog because you want to blog, not for what it might do for your writing career or your bank balance.

Set Sensible Targets. A regular posting schedule can be very helpful, but don't make it punitive! Daily blogging will eat up an enormous amount of your time and precious creative energy.

So, don't sweat too much over your blogging habits. Use your blog(s) for the purpose you created them i.e. keeping a diary / keep writing, but don't allow them to take over and ruin the enjoyment.....
