I enjoy blogging, even if the styles of blogging are different than novel writing. However, as mentioned in the previous post, sometimes time gets away from me and I have to cram to get in the blog posts necessary to make it through a month.
However, since this creates a multi-day effort to catch up,
and it has happened several times, I wonder if blogging is affecting my ability
to write. Admittedly, some of this is
laziness – which I haughtily refer to as “breaking the inertia” – because I just
haven’t done much at all on my most recent novel. I finally found time to complete a recent
chapter and get halfway through another, but I then promptly out it away and
haven’t touched it in a few weeks.
Still, maintaining this blog does take away from writing time, and given
the traffic, I wonder how useful maintaining the blog is. If I let it wither for a month or two(as has
happened in the past), would I be able to do more on my novel? Or would I now have two writing projects that
are neglected instead of just one…
