Even though I write a blog with a partner, I am finding it difficult to get three posts done a week! I like Chuck's idea of keeping a page open to write on when a thought hits. Thanks!

All bloggers need a little validation from time to time. Reader comments are the surest way to get a feel for not only if your posts are being read, but whether your message is connecting with the readers. And don't forget that on the link back to your own blog that you include on the comments you leave don't necessarily have to point at your site's main domain address URL. You can employ a strategy called "deep linking" to refer to a specific post URL. This gives you a chance to link to an article that is of specific relevance to the post you're commenting on or just shine a little extra light on an older post that never seemed to garner as much exposure as you might've liked. (Ever notice how sometimes your favorite posts - the ones you're most proud of having authored - are the ones that seemed to be mostly glossed over by your readers?)

They believe they have to think up subjects, then research them completely, and outline what they want to say, and then do several drafts. That makes it impossible for them to blog three times a week. Who wants to write three briefs a week? I find it best to leave my typepad open, and when I come across something, or think of something, I can just start writing. I might leave it for a while. But, I develop my thoughts more spontaneously than maybe what I was taught in law school. I think it might help if they do not approach their blog as a law review. Attorneys run into things all day long, thoughts cross their minds all of the time. They just need to be more immediate as to getting the initial thought or idea down and then expand upon it throughout the day.
