But whenever anyone does this they always end up doing halfway between the old thing in the new thing... So if you really want to make this change be the new amount then honestly you actually need to commit to half this much... I would say only one big post a week and not have it be set on any particular day... And I would say one fluffy post a week... And then do your political posts whenever you feel it bite you in the leg... And literally anything else that you right unless it's time-sensitive should go in your buffer for when you need to cover and don't have the time or energy to write one of those two posts.<br /><br />personally I would rather you spend more time working on your fiction and writing just enough on your blog to let us know what's going on... And definitely stop with the Mea culpa posts I know you think you are keeping us up-to-date but it's really hard to see someone you admire constantly beating themselves.<br /><br />You're doing a great job just keep up with what inspires you! Give yourself the breathing room to heal and the Space to self-care.<br /><br />*Hugs* -BellsShadowrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02585177946920955385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660089177097719300.post-85874036658578223412018-10-23T06:47:07.223-07:002018-10-23T06:47:07.223-07:00I'm with everyone else.

I totally hear your desire to honor our support of you as a writer (frankly yours is the only blog I've followed almost religiously for years), but I miss the lighter tone of the years when you were clearly less tired. How about, if you REALLY feel the need for T/Th posts, to let those be guest posts? <br /><br />Stop. Working. So. Hard. And only someone who does the same thing you do recognizes just how destructive this can be (call me a hypocrite if you will, but I'm on the same journey you are).ethnopopgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755311612209227215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660089177097719300.post-66985669381249314312018-10-23T06:28:47.572-07:002018-10-23T06:28:47.572-07:00I’m confused.

I mean if you WANT to put that much content out then cool beans, but it sounds like you’re still overestimating how much people expect from you. Even this slimmed down plan sounds like more than anyone (but you) is expecting...! Just saying (much as Helene did above) ;)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16550704902493425009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660089177097719300.post-11435138225546751052018-10-23T05:25:28.350-07:002018-10-23T05:25:28.350-07:00Go all in.Go all in.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342229424980366242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660089177097719300.post-33280687273784699522018-10-23T03:50:28.984-07:002018-10-23T03:50:28.984-07:00And another thing ;-) Speaking for myself, my supp...And another thing ;-) Speaking for myself, my support would not stop if you had to go silent for weeks (or even months), as this would probably a time you'd need it most. Unless *you* tell us you don't need it any more. Preferably because you've won some huge lot of money and can now fully enjoy a life wholly devoted to writing. <br />Hélènehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14346365807930177957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660089177097719300.post-51247693106437675222018-10-23T03:48:47.150-07:002018-10-23T03:48:47.150-07:00No, no, NO considering lighter posts _occasionally...No, no, NO considering lighter posts _occasionally_ on T-Th-Sat. We all know what will happen with that. <br />Also, a light and fluffy, jazz hand post ON A MONDAY wouldn't be a mortal sin either, Chris, and it wouldn't chase us away in droves.Hélènehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14346365807930177957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660089177097719300.post-60962457466746873052018-10-22T23:50:34.035-07:002018-10-22T23:50:34.035-07:00This sounds like a good plan.This sounds like a good plan.Akcipitrokulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935515409759907878noreply@blogger.com
