On Blog-Gigs; what dedication!

Please, kind readers, tune in to this hard-working blogger, PIXELMARX... it is a work...
"There are times when a pen is mightier than than the keyboard and satire more revealing than the truth. And so IrishSpacemonk has put his political thoughts into a cartoon blog just about every day since July 30th, 2007.
"...And a tip to any new blogger looking to start out…look for an idea that allows balance, and that’s maintainable. Post everyday for the first 30 days to establish your blog. But then have that evaluation period, and don’t keep posting just because. You need to rest."
"This probably happens to every anxious blogger that enters the blogosphere. You post obsessively for a month, watching your stats, hoping to see your authority on Technorati increase, or your page rank eventually happen on Google. You make friends, you comment on other blogs, you work 24/7.
And then sometimes nothing happens. Or a lot happens but not the sort of happening you hoped for. You start to question all your efforts but enough good happens to keep you going. You keep posting every day.
"About the time you start to see success…you get really tired. So tired, that it takes more success the next day to keep your posts coming.
"Do you give up? No, of course not. You’re still in denial. You still think it’s a maintainable system to pull off 80 hours weeks between your full-time day job and your full-time blog. (By the way, I truly believe creativity cannot happen in a tired mind.)
"Then events happen that are never expected. Tipping points that make your realize you’re going to have to make a decision. You’re going to have to trust that people will still visit without posting every day. You have to trust that the foundation you’ve built will last.
Yes, this cartoonist is at that point.
"PixelMarx was launched as a simple experiment: Draw one political cartoon every day until the election of 2008. The first cartoon took exactly 1 hour. The quality sucked. By the end of the week, the cartoon quality had increased dramatically, but each drawing now required 3 hours from start to post. And that didn’t include the time necessary to nurture the site, and grow its web presence.
"...30 days became a target date for evaluation. And 30 days passed with success. But the evaluation never happened. It was just easier to keep on drawing.
"Then this blogger realized quality was better than quantity - after a few select cartoons really started to draw traffic. This happened last week, and ever since then I’ve been debating posting this third blogger bomb - The Dose of Reality.
"For my regular readers - thank you. And keep checking back. Or better yet, subscribe to my RSS feed so you only visit when I have a new post.
"I do plan to keep posting, just not every day.
For those readers just visiting, take some time and explore. And a tip to any new blogger looking to start out…look for an idea that allows balance, and that’s maintainable. Post everyday for the first 30 days to establish your blog. But then have that evaluation period, and don’t keep posting just because. You need to rest. At least that’s what the Doc’s told this IrishSpacemonk." (retrieved today from: http://www.pixelmarx.com/2007/08/14/hillary-clinton-sees-invisible-people-in-new-ad/ )
Hey all you MooPigs, I could not say this any better. You remember me telling you about my problem with sleep deprivation? It's all Cosmically Connected, like Kozmic Debris. >pd
