My biggest problem is staying consistent, especially when I'm traveling. Blogging helps me to be concise and precise. No ABC for me this year. Perhaps next year!

But I keep at it. I've changed blogs, changed themes, had no theme, flip-flopped until I've thought no one would care anymore but still I've kept at it. Maybe I'm just stubborn but I like to think I'm still hunting for my unique voice!<br /><br />Looking forward to the A-Z postings here!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-64723837076498865892016-03-31T09:14:02.910-04:002016-03-31T09:14:02.910-04:00I do find blogging helps keep up my writing skills...I do find blogging helps keep up my writing skills. And it seems, the more I blog, the more the ideas come. It is when I stop, that the ideas stop flowing. I look forward to meeting new bloggers as I follow those participating!

As for blogging on my site, it's a struggle coming up with ideas. I can't help but worry that I have nothing interesting to say that hasn't been said a hundred times before. I'm working on it, though. <br /><br />Great post, Susan.

I hate it when I find errors in one of my posts, so I proof as carefully as possible.

I've never had a problem coming up with ideas, and I've learned so much from other writers who blog. I love reading how they write and what interests them. Several have inspired me over the years, and I know they will continue to do so. :)Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-69145979242344427222016-03-28T08:17:00.526-04:002016-03-28T08:17:00.526-04:00My blog started as a science blog, the I narrowed ...My blog started as a science blog, the I narrowed my focus to space, then I narrowed it to mainly the Solar System.
