Thanks, Karen. It’s hard to know what the best decision is, but I have to focus on the book first. Really appreciate the encouragement!

You’ve got to do what works for you. It can be overwhelming. So you have my support! Keep up the great writing schedule! You’re doing what is most important. Take care and have a great week! 🙂

I think that’s a huge key – figuring out what works for you. I love Scrivener for organizing scenes and the notecard feature, but I used that after free writing A LOT and doing mock outlines, as well as bouncing ideas off my crit partner. Good luck, and thanks for the support!

Blogging is important, but if you don’t have time for both, you have to choose what’s MOST important.

I’m a pantser, and I tried to plot with Scrivener on this WIP I’m working on. But I hated it so much, I wanted to throw the laptop across the room. But I’m beginning to think it was because I didn’t like the way Scrivener was doing it. So I’m going to try to do some plotting MY way and see what happens. 🙂

Very cool you got to talk to Jane! That’s such a good point. Everyone is pressed for time and we should all be focusing on the writing. I’d rather do a Row80 update and then one good Thriller Thursday post and leave it at that, because that’s the post I really want (and need) readers to support. Thanks, Marcy.

Thanks for the support, Karen!

I’m playing catch up, but will definitely check out Marcia’s post. That’s exactly my thinking, and one book isn’t going to do much for my platform. It’s mostly Monday’s I’ll be cutting back, but I think that will be a big help.

LOL, thanks, Gene!

That’s kind of my thinking. Thursdays are obviously important because they tie into my brand and my books, but the rest can be done in moderation right now. I’ve got to keep the focus on finishing and writing more books. Thanks, Marie!

Right now what I’m doing works, but I’m planning on cutting back to two days a week eventually for a couple reasons. The first is my time, and the second is the time of the people who come to read. I’m able to visit very few blogs three times a week, so what makes me think anyone else is any different?
