Buzz Marketing with Blogs: Only So Much Creative Energy in One Week

Only So Much Creative Energy in One Week

I’m excited to be speaking at the Northern Voice blogging conference this weekend, and have been working on my presentation this week. If the conference is anything like last year’s event, it should be good fun, with a mix of bloggers from the professional to the crafter to the technologist. Sad to say, if you haven’t already registered, the event is sold out.

I realized in the middle of the day today that it wasn’t going to look too great if I stand up to talk about blogging and haven’t updated my own blog recently. And this isn’t the first time I set out to do a talk and discovered that I’ve neglected my blog for a few days. I’ve decided that I’ve got a certain amount of creative energy to use, and if I use it up on creating a new talk, or have a week full of design work for my Web site clients, it’s not too surprising that the blog suffers. After all, blogging is a creative medium! (Perhaps that’s why so many bloggers have other work in creative fields, and why blogging has proven to be so popular among knitters!)

I’ll post my presentation from Northern Voice after I give it, so you can get the benefit of that creativity this week, albeit a bit delayed!

Read your book and it helped me get started with my blog. What fun! Thanks for writing it.

Believe me, I know what you mean. Sometimes I feel tired on Wednesday already, if I’ve spent too much creativity that week. What’s strange is just a half day off can keep me going for another couple of days. It seems your brain just needs that time to rest, file, and start coming up with new ideas again.
I love being a creative person. Probably because I am! And the fact that my brain only needs a little rest (a good rest, but still a little) and I can get cracking again is great. The only one drawback is when I’m over inspired and just can’t get my ideas on paper… like it just won’t come out.
