Today is the last day of the Blogathon. I don’t want to have a boring recap, but I do want to reflect on the biggest lesson I learned this time around. Being forced to blog every day, even though it was self-induced, definitely stifles my creativity. A few times, I’ve written about unimportant and/or uninteresting [...]

Since today is a holiday, everyone in the Blogathon has been invited to do a creative post using Wordle. I did mine using the feed address from my blog. The largest words in the resulting Wordle are the ones that you use the most. Here’s my result: I knew I used the word “just” a [...]

I just logged in to start writing today’s post when I saw that the post I wrote and thought I published yesterday was still in draft mode, meaning I didn’t publish it at all. So, I went ahead and back-dated it to yesterday, since that’s when it was supposed to go live, and am hoping [...]

I just realized, admittedly with a bit of shock, that today is May 1 and that means the beginning of the annual Blogathon. I’ve been involved in the Blogathon since its inception several years ago. Every year I want to rip my eyelashes out for signing up, but when it’s over, I’m always glad I [...]

Call me crazy, as I already have plenty of other new projects, but I signed up to do the annual WordCount Blogathon again this year. The Blogathon runs from May 1-31 and consists of freelance writers and bloggers from all walks of life. Our mission is to post every single day in the month of [...]

Now that the blogathon is officially over, I’m having major blogathon letdown. It’s rather like post-Christmas letdown, I think. We had quite a productive Twitter party this morning, discussing the positives that we all got out of this year’s blogathon. If you’re interested, you can read all about it here on WordCount. So, now it’s [...]

It’s officially the last day of the blogathon today. I had such a great experience with it this year, much more so than last year. Here’s what I took away this time around: * Blogging every day is really, really hard, but incredibly satisfying. * I’m not a fan of blogging on the weekends. It [...]

Last May, I joined a group of freelance writers from our beloved writer’s group, Freelance Success, in a blogathon organized by Michelle Rafter over at WordCount. We called it “A Post a Day in the Month of May” and it helped all of us become better at posting regularly and generated more traffic for many [...]
