Got a brief one for you today…

Often when I advocate blogging to artists one of the objections I hear is, “I don’t like to spend a lot of time sitting at my computer writing.” Or some variation on that. And I do understand that sentiment. That is why I recommend writing your blog posts offline and then just type a copy of them into your blog. This is a good approach for a couple of reasons.

First you can write your posts anywhere and at anytime. It is much easier to get out good old fashioned pen and paper to write with than it is to fire up a machine to write with. A good option to have a notebook that is just for blog posts (I do). That way you can have a few going at once.

Another bonus of writing offline first is that you get an automatic second draft out of the process. As you type your long hand written words into your machine you will be looking at them again with new eyes. A very simple and painless way to have a second read through that is great for catching little errors or odd sentence structures and the like.

Next time you desire to update your blog but don’t feel like sitting in front of a machine grab your notepad and get comfy. Curl up on the couch with some coffee, head out to the deck to write in the sun, or maybe go to a park to get in some good people watching while you write. Once you have the post down on paper typing it into your blog is a breeze. The more you update your blog the more traffic you will get. The more traffic the more fans you will gain. More fans will lead to more sales.

Do what you need to do to get yourself to write those blog posts!

And as always…

Live to Create,
