Since I made a renewed commitment to staying consistent with my Write of the Day blog I have been trying to determine what it needs to become a truly useful tool for writers, whether they write for their own enjoyment, for money or a little of both. I decided the next element to incorporate in structure.I'm doing better with consistency, but a good blog needs to go beyond being journalistic and really give back. I wanted to do something that would help my own writing career in the process. My "structure" will still be kind of loose and vague, but is at least a good place to start.
Sunday -- Sunday, I have declared as personal recharge day. The day I write something for the personal purpose of writing. For me that's fiction or poetry. Art for art's sake. Somehow, my Sunday blog will play homage to that.
Monday -- Marketing and Money. Monday's I'm in "Let's get down to business", practical mode. So I'll feature actual money making writing opportunities.
Tuesday -- Toot the horn day. It's the day I'll seek out other cool writing related blogs. Find something new I want to follow. Maybe let someone guest blog.
Wednesday-- Words, words, words. Writers must be readers. So this will be book reviews or previews or at the very least recommended reading lists.
Thursday -- Throw it out there. I'm going to try to put something new in the blog, maybe pictures or something else. Could get experimental. Who knows?
Friday -- Fundamental Fridays -- Grammar, usage, spelling. All that editing stuff every writer loves. I'll find resources to highlight.
Saturday -- All about structure and organization, coming up with a game plan that makes sense, at least for the next week. I may come up with a better Saturday theme, but it's what I've got for now. The day a blog stops being a work in progress is the day to stop blogging.
