Look at me!
No, I didn’t have time to follow up on any of the Twitter stuff I’ve been planning. It took me a good part of the day to write my post for tomorrow. Which I think I did pretty well with. The posts I write for the rest of the week won’t take as long though.
I just read an article Chris Garrett wrote for Blog Herald too: Are You a Solitary Blogger?
I’m definitely introverted. He says:
“The lesson, it doesn’t matter how good you are at what you do if nobody notices.”
Yes, I’m learning that.
I’m trying to do stuff to make myself better known - but I need to write faster still to have the time. I’ve been offered a couple opportunities to guest blog too - but I haven’t found the time yet!

I guess I’m guilty of being an introverted blogger, too! I wrote posts for a year before making ANY efforts to publicize my blog. (Then again I was finding my voice!) I also agree with your take on the time issue. When I first started I was told that I should be able to write a good post in half an hour. Not me! Let’s just say it takes hours (plural)… then I have to let each post cool off for a day (or at least overnight) before I proof it.

Brenda,
Thanks for stopping by!
A half an hour? Well, sometimes I can do that on this blog, and my butterfly gardening blog. But not too often on the women’s blog.
That post today especially took me a long time - it took over 2 hours. But I watched most of a documentary about the topic on the PBS site and read a few pages about the topic elsewhere too. If I had done it faster I wouldn’t have written something as good. I just have to start making sure that I sometimes write short, simpler posts so that I leave myself time for networking too.
