The Times They Are a-Changin'

If you have been reading Kimchi & Sweet Tea for a while, you probably know that I have not been as consistent as I should be when it comes to blogging. In other words, I have been a horrible blogger when it comes to actually posting stuff on time. It's not procrastination, although I am quite the expert, it's a scheduling and content issue. Let me explain.

In the past, I have posted stories and such as they came to me in real time. This, however, created a bit of a mess with blog post consistency. I would post every day one week and not at all for the next two weeks. I was still new to the blogging world and trying to find my voice, so I concluded that I needed to post no more than twice a week to 'save' post ideas for when I wasn't feeling very creative. Makes sense, right?

Well, this process became more of a hinderance than a help. I had more ideas and content than I had post days scheduled on the calendar. Instead of writing in the moment I would jot down the idea on a future date to save a little time. Unfortunately, I would either forget to publish something or become tired of the post idea once that scheduled date finally came around. It just wasn't working for me (or this blog).
So, things will be changing around here. For the next month, I will be posting something new every weekday. No fluff posts either. If I don't feel great about the content of a particular post, nothing will go up that day. Fortunately, my mind has been flooded with ideas lately and this is just the place to get everything out. :)

I am also eager to start crossing things off of my Blogolutions list - here's to #1!  Hang in there with me. I promise this month will make for a fun read and hopefully daily blogging will become a new norm for Kimchi & Sweet Tea. Expect a home update, lots of mommyhood stories, maybe a guest post or two, and even a free printable just for you in the near future.

  1. Such a great idea! One of these days I want to try blogging every week day but it sounds a little intimidating. Have you heard about Story of My Life's Blog Everyday in May challenge? She has some really great post prompts here: http://www.kimchisweettea.com/2013/05/the-times-they-are-changin.html
