Blogs that you keep, blogs that you leave

I do that a bit. I still do the have the first blog I started. I don't post there as much as I did in the beginning, but I still have my hand in it. I have a new blog that I started, but it more like a wiki only not quite as friendly.

I used to have two blogs at a now defunct site - writingup.com - one that was political and one about allergies. But, the site was always going up and down and eventually it went down and stayed down. Currently, I have a blog called Ginger's Health Corner on communati.com. Sometimes I do not feel like posting; but, I do it anyway for 2 reasons: 1) Discipline: if you want to be a writer you have write whether you are in the "mood" or not. 2) I have people out there counting on me. I have regular readers who are reading my posts. I write about topics that they have asked me to write about and clear up for them. I completed an entire series of posts about artificial and natural sweeteners. I am now working on a series about menopause and menopause remedies. I frequently get responses thanking me for the information in some of the posts. So, I have people out there that I do not want to "let down" by not posting to my blog. If you are interested; you can find the link on my profile page.

I haven't abandoned my (only) blog, but I really haven't posted anything for a long time, and I am feeling very guilty about this. I have to say that I am taking to heart an earlier comment to this discussion in which somebody pointed out that writing requires discipline. I need more of that. By the way, I'd love to see your blog on clutterology! Cool concept.

My blog is about my home business. So far I have kept them all there. Some have been picked up by ezines for use in marketing. I also have a voiceblog I do...sometimes it is about my business, sometimes it is about life and New Years Eve, it was about not drinking & driving. I have also signed up to do a blog radio show, I am getting things in order to host 2 different ones. One for military families to call in and talk and the other will be business related. All of these are free for people to use and quite a bit of fun.

I've done this as well. I've started blogs and that stopped using them. Usually, I just delete them if I know I am not going to bother with them anymore. Sometimes it's hard between work and other things to get motivated to write a blog. I like to collect baseball cards and the blog I started on that hasn't gotten too much. However, my poker blog is what I write about often and I am getting a decent following, which makes want to write on it more.

I have two blogs that I keep going - one is on scrapbooking and can be found at www.scrappinsistersaz.com and other is personal stuff, such as, our Girl Scout Troop information (keeping those parents up-to-date), videos I've stumbled across or books that I want to share, it just varies. I have an abadoned blog out there somewhere on blogger. I just didn't have time for it.
