A Post a Day

Well, I try to write a blog post a day on my site. I want to keep giving readers a reason to come back, and I want as much quality content out there as possible to attract new people who might be searching for stuff in my niche.
It should not be that hard to write a post a day. I am not working at the moment (at least not in a 9-5 rat race kind of way, I am working my butt off on this WA thing), so I have plenty of time.
But sometimes it is hard. Sometimes the words don't come. Sometimes I focus on other creative projects rather than my website, sometimes I just don't want to, and sometimes I am just lazy. It's that last part we have to be careful of. Giving into laziness will submarine this while endeavor.
So, while I am not always successful in writing a post a day, I do my best, and that is all I can ask of myself. And when I am being lazy and end up not writing something one day, I tell myself that I will write something the next day, and that I needed a chance to rest and recharge because that is the thing. I am treating this WA program as a full time job, and everyone needs a day off now and then. Just because I can pick and choose when and for how long that is doesn't change the facts.
I have already written my blog post for today (on my site) and it feels good. It feels good to reach those little goals, like a post a day, or finding new and good keywords, or making a sale (haven't done that one yet, but all in good time). It's what Kyle means when he talks about there being different types of success and how success breeds success. A post a day builds my confidence, and gets content on my blog, giving me a double boost of success. And if I miss a day here and there it doesn't matter too much because I have already built a lot of what I think is quality content on my blog, and everyone needs a day off from time to time.
