Survey Question for you

There are blogs which are updated daily or almost daily. Most of them consist of short, pithy/funny and/or thought-provoking entries. Other blog authors seem to take days or weeks to craft longer entries.

I often don't have time to really CRAFT a blog entry, but since I enjoy frequently updated blogs, I opt to just toss something up here.

Would you prefer more crafted/less frequent, or less compelling/more often? (we know the answer is supposed to be 'crafted AND frequent!', but that's not always realistic.)

I prefer thoughtful at all times. Too many quippy entries and I unsubscribe. I am brutal.

More crafted/less frequent but not mile long so that it's not daunting to read. What you've been doing is PERFECT I say. don't change a thing. =)

I like what you're doing too. I write when I have something to say and like to read those that are similar with some meaningful content. I do enjoy seeing a bit of variety and although it's not necessary that a blog be all things, it can be when it's done well. A good writer can make travel, renovation, cooking, and any other topic as meaningful and pithy as is appropriate to their writing style.

Just like I go to different movies expecting different things, such as action, romance, adventure, I visit blogs for the same variety. Bloggers that look as if they posted just to post turn me off pretty quickly.

I'd say what you're doing works for me.

I like how you're doing it---write when you're inspired to write. Doesn't have to be every day. Love your blog. MIME

I love your blog and always enjoy new posts. I think you have a great balance of interesting posts that may or may not be deeply personal and then posts that are more personal. In fact, if I could learn to be less longwinded and not use my blog for therapy, I would want my blog to be more like yours. =)

Thank you all for the encouragement! I was having a bit of an identity befuddlement and this helped a great deal. Cheers

I struggle with this on my own blog... and out of the desire to just POST SOMETHING ALREADY I often end up throwing up a lot of silliness!

That said, I MUCH prefer the thoughtful stuff (like your beautiful post on contentment). That's what makes me come back to a blog.

(And I know someone else mentioned that you should keep an eye on the length, but I think if the content is good it won't matter how long it is.)

(But I'm biased because I write ridiculously long posts.)

This one's a no brainer.

Write when you have something to write.
