Bloggers, how often do you blog?
Edit This Blog has been around for about six months now. Some months, I'm inspired, writing twice a week or more. Other months, a couple of weeks will go by with nothing new.
I suppose your answer to "How often do you blog?" depends on your topic, your audience, and how much free time you have (and whether you're paid to blog -- wouldn't THAT be nice!). I wish I had more time to write on this blog, but the mundane details of life often get in the way.
A related question: When you're reading somebody else's blog, how often do you like to see new entries? If new entries get posted seldom enough, do you get bored and give up on the blog?
Do you wish you had time to blog more often, like I do? Or do you feel obligated, because it's a blog, to write more often than you really want? Did you ever let a blog of yours perish by attrition because you just didn't have anything to say? Perhaps you "outgrew" it or moved on to another topic of interest in your life?
My favorite entertainment blog is Go Fug Yourself. It's my go-to site whenever I want a laugh and some eye candy. Those girls are on fire and post several times a day.
But if I'm reading a friend's personal blog, I realize that they all have lives and don't post every day. Even my friends who are writers don't blog every day. I bookmark their blogs and keep visiting them until something new appears. I'm as loyal to the blogs as I am to the friends.
Thanks for listening to my unorganized musings. I'm not trying to make a science out of blogs. I'm simply curious what other bloggers' experiences have been.
