It's only been a week and I am already thinking about starting a personal blog too, I have so much to say! I love your farming analogy and I can't wait for my blog to blossom!

It is about bringing yourself as an individual and presenting it on your blog. And yes, an abandoned blog is BAD. I can attest to that. I actually think I wrote about it before because I was blogging less, at least one or two times a month. One day I looked at Blondish.net and found it was not what I wanted it to be. It was like a huge mess going in different directions. I decided to start focusing. In return, I found I had more to say, but started a new blog on the side about the more personal aspect of me. I am pretty sure I will be doing a third for my writing, but it is currently stuck at Blondish.net until I find the time to move over 125,000 words somewhere else. Blogs take time... I like to compare it to farming. You have to nurture it and if you do not keep up, it will die. You have updated Hamlet indeed. ;) This is a big question newbies always pose.
