The biggest challenge for my blogging is finding the time to blog more. I blog about 2-3 times a week on my blog and I would like to increase that to 4-5 times a week.

Thanks for the question.

Sincerely,

Teresa Morrow

That's a common challenge, mainly because people just simply don't take action. Reminds me of doing sit ups. The key is to make it fun and to schedule it. Find 20 minutes a day- could be first thing in morning before you open email, could be at a certain time each day. But take that 20 minutes and use it to post. If you don't finish, come back to it. But you create the blogging habit and you will eventually get it down so it's completed in 20. If it doesn't seem fun, then re-frame it to be so. Anybody who's been a parent knows how to do this. I'm not a parent, and I know how to trick myself into doing something. Once you're started, it actually becomes fun.

My biggest challenge is keeping the posts "real". By real, I mean relating what I want to discuss to me personally and to the reader personally. Something a little deeper/more personal than just a how-to or a tip. I think this in turn forces me to delay my topic selections and therefore my posts. What is supposed to be a weekly post ends up being bi-weekly. Maybe I think too much about it ... maybe it doesn't need to be so personal, but I really want it to be interesting enough to read.
