Z is for Zealous Action

I thrown a lot of blogging advice out there this month, but I wanted to leave the challenge with one simple Statement.
Do what's best for you.

All of the advice I've given this month is what worked for me, but it doesn't mean it's best for you. You're going to burned out from blogging for 26 dyas, but don't give up. Go forward and do what you can.

Congrats on finishing the A-Z Challenge!

That's right - every blogger and author is different.

You made it!

Nicely done, girl. If I ever grow up and decide to become a real blogger (it may or may not happen), I'm definitely coming back here for reference. All very good advice from a position of experience. Thank you for sharing it.

It has been great pleasure finding your page - although almost towards the end of the challenge - but the tips are not any less important. And Z says it all.

Wooh to the Hoo! I'm so glad this was the last post of the month. Now I need to find a blogging schedule that actually works for me....Hmmmmmm...maybe every 6 months? Ha! Ok. Probably not that...

Great posts this month! :)

Congratulations on the A-Z challenge -- it was most informative and helpful for me! It was very helpful of you to let me pick your brain about blogs -- especially since most new bloggers don't know what questions to ask!

Congratulations on completing the challenge! It's very true that one needs to do what's right for one's own blog, even if that formula doesn't work for someone else.

And if you can't do what's right for you, at least do what's right!
Congratulations on finishing with style!

Congrats to you too. I don't have time to be burned out. May is almost here and I'm ready to roll with stamina and a yawn.

The thing about advice is to try it out and mould it to what works for you. It's just one person's way but all is equally valid. Congrats on getting to the end!

I completely agree! It's impossible for a single piece of advice to ever work for everyone, since everyone always...well, works differently!

Perfect advice! It's what I try to do, though I am also still finding my way. I am thinking next year I will have a lot more set goals on my plate and be more "free flowing" (that sounds bad doesn't it?). ;)

Wowzers, you made it through, even with a vacation in the mix. (Writing the posts before hand was brilliant. I'll do that if I attempt A to Z next year). I like this post, it's like being a mother, you know what's best for you, your babies, and your online time:)

Did I get you with that click-bait title? I always fall for those dang things. Anyway, this is a regularly (or not so regularly in my case) scheduled update. First and foremost I'd like to draw your attention to a fancy new box on the right-hand side. Yes, I'm starting a newsletter. As of now it won't be more than once a month. I'd love it if you signed up! And oh yeah: There will be a free novella if you sign up! Eventually, because I'm still working on it. Quality, folks. Second, I've started a review group on Facebook. If you like receive free copies of my books in exchange for a review, please contact me! (email: author.jabennett @ gmail.com) Third, I've update my books tab with links, so check that out too if you get a chance. Until next time!

The Noveling Journey

Image
cr: Diter Laskowski This past weekend I spent 10+ hours in a minivan with four small children. One of those children is only eighteen months old. On top of being squirmy, said child had started antibiotics for an ear infection only the day before. He can also scream very loud. As one must do with such an experience, I tried to find the positive. It was either that or breakdown and sob which wouldn't do anyone good. What I came to realize in the anxiety to and from my destination, was that I had been going about noveling all wrong. And trust me, it wasn't a negative thought. One thing I know about road trips is that if I want to get somewhere, I have to keep going. Stopping at Buc-ee's is really fun. It's great to stretch my legs and buy myself some beaver nuggets, but it's not going to get me anywhere. The longer I hang out at Buc-ee's, the later I'll show up. Writing is the same. Not for everyone, but for me it is. Social media is great. I actua...
