This is going to be a quick post, as it’s already 9PM and I’m off to bed soon. I have to check in with the #IWSG community though. I did plan on writing, but then my time and energy got taken up by the A to Z Challenge. I don’t know how the other writers who participate in both, do it.
I wanted to touch on something I’ve discovered regarding my motivation for writing. At the beginning of each month, it’s usually much higher than at the end. Readers of my blog can see this by the number of blog posts I write per week.
I have yet to figure out what is causing this decline in motivation. Or is it inspiration? I don’t know. There are enough prompts and ideas to choose from to write about for each day of the month.
I noticed also that, when I started this blog, I had a lot more inspiration and motivation than I did after even a month. It can’t be because I touched on every topic I wanted to cover already, as I didn’t. But why then is it so? I am not going to answer this question right here, but this is something I need to think on in the coming month.
In contrast to this, I do manage to write something almost everyday. It just isn’t always blog-worthy. Or I think it isn’t. Which is strange, since, when starting this blog, I didn’t give blog-worthiness a thought. Well, now apparently I do.
I think we’re all in the same boat with the web and flow. Honest writers/bloggers acknowledge it’s a grind now often than not. The key for me is to use an editorial calendar while inspiration abounds. At least they’re is a go to place when the mojo disappears. You write well and your honesty is compelling, don’t change that.

It’s okay to post, even if you don’t think it’s blogworthy, as long as it’s from the heart.

It doesn’t always have to be a masterpiece! Just diary style is ok too! Honesty is always good! And you have that!
