Hi guys. Happily though unintentionally, this week has turned into a guest-bloggy kind of week.
The first one is today. I am over at Rochelle Melander's Write Now! Coach blog. The post is titled Lessons from High School Drama: Attitude vs. Aptitude. Pretty stoked, she is wonderful to work with and gives some pretty fantastic writing advice over there. And don't forget to check out her book Write-A-Thon. It could be an invaluable aid to anyone interested in NaNoWriMo, but I'm sure the advice in there applies to anyone writing at all.
So there's that going on, and then a special series on writing space going on tomorrow and a guest blog visiting us here on Thursday (talking about money. You won't wanna miss that one.) So (said in my best announcer voice) tune in tomorrow for more not-to-be-missed information.
Cool, yeah? It always makes my day when I'm approached about doing a guest post or hosting a guest blogger. That's what this community is all about, right? But anyway, what I wanted to ask you all is this:
How is the 5-day blog schedule working out for you all, and would particular themed days be of interested to you?
I blog five days a week (sometimes [often] more) because I want to. I love talking to and hearing from all you guys, the more often the better. But I don't want it to be too much. Because blogging so frequently makes for some serious, informational posts and for lots of other not-so-seriously informational posts, I want to make sure that's not a bad thing for you, or bothersome.
Many blogs also have themed days, like "Music Monday" or "Tell-the-Truth Tuesday" or something like that, and I would love to get your thoughts on that too. Does having one or two structured theme days make things more manageable for you the reader? And if yes, what types of themes would be of most interest to you?
Obviously I'm going to have to take any ideas you may have into consideration and decide for myself before I make any changes, but I really want to know what you think. Please don't be shy, and don't worry about hurting my feelings or anything like that. I can take it. It benefits both of us for me to know what would make things easier and more interesting for you personally. I really mean this, even if this is your first time to the bloggy blog, let me know your thoughts. And thanks :)

The fact that you are able to blog 5 days a week is pretty amazing. Hats off to you!
As for theme days, I don't think they're completely necessary. You do a really good job of mixing it up between formal and informal posts. Although a theme day here and there (maybe like a theme week?) wouldn't be so bad.
Either way, I'll still be a follower :)
I'm of the same opinion. They're not necessary, and can sometimes start to look like random filler. It's fun to have the mixup, I think. Keep people on their toes, and all :)
I'm impressed that you blog five days a week! I tried that for about two months, then went down to three, then two, now I'm at one. But I have a tendency to wax eloquent and write blog entries that are way too long. So I figure, one long post is good for me and everyone else!
I have fellow bloggers who post daily. I just check in when I can and I don't try to comment on every post. I'm not so prolific.
I'm impressed by anyone who can blog five days a week and still get anything else done. I have to limit myself to M-W-F, both for posting and for reading/commenting. I try to check what I miss on the other days but I know I miss some great posts.
I can't imagine blogging 3 days a week. You are the picture of ambition. It's hard enough for me to eek out one post and then visit all the blogs I want to. Sending you good bloggy luck.
Aw, thanks you guys :) I'm glad my mind dumps aren't coming off as annoying.
@Leslie Rose: "Picture of ambition". I think I need to put that in a bio or resume somewhere ;)
I'm seriously impressed that you can consistently blog five days per week.
The only theme that I can suggest, which I used to do for the past year or so, was writing. Every Wednesday I used to post something related to writing. Whether it was my writing, a book review, or even a general opinion about a particular genre, I made sure it was related to writing.
