SOS from a Bloggin' Noob: How Do Y'all Write So Much?
February 05, 2015
As a fairly new Kindle owner, I'm just starting to learn the ins and outs of using Overdrive to get e-books from my public library and the library of the university I work in. Between the two, I've gone a bit check-out happy, and I'm reading a lot right now. Maybe too much? Is there such a thing? Whatever.
Reading so much is awesome! The less awesome thing is that I'm doing very little posting—or, perhaps more accurately, very little review-writing. I wouldn't call myself "worried" about it yet... I've got a tiny list of books I've read but have yet to sit down and review. However, I foresee that changing very soon.
If I want to keep this blog going, I need balance, which means I need advice. Who better to ask about maintaining your writing mojo than fellow book bloggers?
I saw a few posts going around during Bloggiesta about how to write more creative reviews, or how to write engaging non-review content, but I'm still at a bit of a loss for how you fabulous people manage to generate so many reviews in general.
If you've got any advice for me on any of the below, please let me know! I'd love to hear from you.
Keeping it short today, seeing as the writer's block is fierce. Happy almost Friday, everybody!

How do you balance your reading time with your writing/reviewing time?
How many reviews do you aim to post per week? How does this compare to your books read per week?
Do you strive to review quickly, or do you let the read-but-unreviewed books pile up?
How do you push yourself to write (reviews or other content) when you're feeling less than inspired?
