Blogging Insights # 5 — What are your writing/blogging habits ?

Human beings are creatures of habit, and why should writers/bloggers be any different? We all have our set patterns of doing things. Today I am asking you to share some of your blogging habits.

3. Have you dedicated a particular time for blogging?

My Answers

1. Do you follow a blogging schedule or do you post ^freestyle “?

A blogging schedule is a great thing to have if you can adhere to it (otherwise what is the point). I made a schedule in as you can read here. I tried to follow it faithfully and enjoyed the process as you can find out by clicking here. However, I could not manage doing things the same way again. I am working on it and hope to get there again, eventually !

I try to fit my blogging in with other activities. At present, my blog is a personal/hobby blog so I post “freestyle” meaning when and whatever strikes my fancy.

With this new Blogging Insights series I will try to follow a weekly schedule posting new questions every Monday and a list of previous questions every Thursday.

2. Where do you do most of your writing / blogging ?

I have no dedicated space for writing/blogging; I manage to write just about anywhere. Some people have a home office or study while others like to sit in coffee shops and write. I think J.K.Rowling wrote her first Harry Potter book in a diner (If I remember correctly).

A lot of my writing is done on the go: while commuting or waiting etc. I used to write on scraps of paper or a small notebook. Now I use my smart phone.

At home, I like to write in the living room, while we watch TV. Somehow the telly doesn’t disturb me.

My ideal writing space, however, is my back veranda when the weather is nice. It looks on to a garden with several trees. I can hear lots of bird calls as I sit and write. It makes writing a truly enjoyable experience.

3. Have you dedicated a particular time for blogging?

I am at my most creative first thing in the morning. So if I manage to get up super early that is my best blogging time but I can’t manage it often. Sometimes I blog during/with breakfast.

Okay! That was my bit. Now I am really looking forward to reading YOUR answers. Please remember to tag your post
