Oy. I added a new feature (a humorous take on style while aging) to my writing blog, and couldn’t count how fast former visitors unsubscribed. So, I’m moving those posts to a new, dedicated site. I’d better see whether I picked up new subscribers after I began blogging about the stylish ole woman. Thanks for this post and for the terrific comments it inspired.

Thank you! Now I’m just worried about loosing all my lovely followers if I rebrand and restart my blog under my own name. [sigh] Wonderful advice, though, thank you! I’m already feeling my panic attack about keeping a writerly blog dying down.

I’ve considered having a “regular update” blog with slice-of-life posts, and then a separate one that I update only once a month that has deeper, more meaningful posts that I spend a lot more time on.

I want to provide an uncluttered blog on topics I’m truly passionate about and then a “here’s something interesting I did this week” blog that covers new recipes I tried, gardening exploits, writing adventures, maybe posts about the kids/my dog.

What are your thoughts? And if you think one blog is still preferable, how would you recommend I approach it?

You just saved my life.

I am going to blow up my author blog, and I am going to stop being afraid of using my blog that *already has a platform* to write about other things.

To be fair, people have been trying to tell me this for a while now, but you explained it in a way that actually MADE SENSE.

Can I have a girl crush on you?? THANK YOU SO MUCH

OMG! I honestly am clueless when it comes to blogs. I never even read one till I got on Twitter and actually started using it. (that was about mid March 2011, when I realized I could meet other writers that way). Thank you for landing in my lap the other day because I have been neglecting my blog, thinking that nobody would be interested in anything but my writing, but now I don’t care! I’m free and I’m going to blog away, but not at the expense of my WIP. Thank you for this awesome blog!
