The Motivation of Blogging
I accepted this challenge of posting one blog post per day. With a 9 day vacation and a holiday thrown in to keep the challenge extra difficult, I have managed to do it, if you count my backdated posts from 1-3 days later. I have prepared most of these posts, and have them in some form of draft state, which I’m going to count.
Some of you might be reading this and asking yourself, “Does he really like blogging anymore?” And the answer is a validated YES. Yes, I love blogging. I have 4 blogs that I enjoy posting, when I post. The challenge of posting each day here on this blog was to get me back in the habit of posting on a regular basis. As there are times when I don’t post for a good week or more. And my 3 other blogs go months without posts.
I hate this. I really do. It weighs on my mind and adds to the multiple levels of frustration that I have in my life. My previous post discussing this subject where I mentioned how overwhelmed I am, is something I am working to overcome. Today’s back to work day didn’t help in my progress.
I am planning on a 24 day posting every day challenge for my Adult Beverages blog starting December 1st, so hopefully I can keep up with that, as well as this place. The other two blogs are still a concern that I will address soon.
Thanks for your patience with me. Only 5 more days to go this month. I will make it thanks to a 4 day weekend where I can manage my distractions and frustrations a little easier.

I ended up taking my four blogs down to one to eliminate stress and frustration. 🙂 The travel blog was a good idea, but I was basically just re-posting Blogography posts. The review blog was great, but I rarely updated it. The comic book blog was fine, but done so much better by other people. So everything got folded back into Blogography. I still keep my Hard Rock Cafe blog, but it’s only ever updated when I visit a new property or they open a new one, so it’s not a big deal.
I’ve toyed with moving Chillywilly to just a stub site. I might do that, even though it’s the blog I’ve had the longest (2002).
Having a single blog where most everything gets posted would eliminate a lot of stress, that’s for sure.
While on this subject, I admit that I should have left Scooter Sunday here. While I do like the site I put together, I think part of the move to it’s own site left it orphaned. The effort I put into it so far, I’m most likely going to leave it and get back to paying more attention to it and my videos. My goal here is to get back to my projects.
I was going to mention something similar to Dave – putting the sites all in one so it’s easier to deal with 🙂
I am considering that, although as I replied to Dave2 above, I do like the Adult Beverages and Scooter Sunday sites I built. I am looking more at the bigger picture of where my real distractions are and to better manage the multiple blogs.
