As I said in my first blog post on this series, I am no blogging expert. Learning as I am going and fucking up as I am going as well. Today lesson;
Stay ahead of yourself.
This I learnt before I even started my blog. I knew that if I was going to do this blog thingy properly I needed to keep ahead of myself. That way if I am too busy or having a shit day where I am in zero mood to read a book, I have a review to fall back onto. Right now I am 9 book reviews ahead of myself. I have 2 more books to read for this month and I am completely finished for December. Bar writing some blog posts because I just seem to get lazy when it comes to them. That and I just want to read my daily reading goal before I can go shoot some people on a game, or watch a show.
Or if you like winging it and just throwing book reviews out whenever you like, that’s fine too. We all have our own styles and way of doing things. I do 3 book reviews a minimum a week, I have to be ahead of myself else it will all go to shit.
Thanks for reading 🙂

Great series and great advice! I’ve been blogging for more than a year now, and I find I’m a bit behind if life gets in the way.

I like staying about 4 books ahead of myself which is like a week worth of stuff

Awesome insight 🙂 This is a great reminder to those of us who have been blogging for awhile now to stay ahead of ourselves, even if it’s just by one or two projects.

I often come up with ideas to blog about that only really take shape when I sit down and start writing. I really ought to not just have the ideas stacked up but the actual articles themselves written and scheduled. I tend to just publish anything straight away when I think it is ready haha.

Lol I have a whole list of ideas to write up, I tend to write them ones up a few days before sunday.

It was a real milestone for me when I started scheduling ahead – these past few weeks have sadly eaten all my buffer so I’m starting 2018 on the back foot, but looking forward to getting ahead of myself again!
