A while back is relative...

I just read the first line of my last blog post - "When I started this blog a while back...", meaning the months (or so) that had passed. I looked at the date, which was in 2010, and thought, it's been a little more than "a while" since I last blogged. Time does fly! I've been around and online, just not blogging. When I started the Tom's Winesense blog, I wasn't nearly as addicted and often sucked into the time consumption sometimes involved with Facebook, etc. Facebook is easy - blogging requires more effort. I'm hoping I can sort of make the transition to the more "demanding" of the form of social media. I have some thoughts floating around and distilling in my mind. I've also tasted and drank a lot of wine since 2010, so I'm not hurting for material. I think I've just hurt my writing skills by the limits of 140 characters or facebook posts of a line or two and a photo. So for now I'm hoping for a couple good, multi-sentence paragraphs, a Top 5 List, maybe a short wine review - and some inspiration. Help me, Ellen Drazen, you're my only hope...

  1. The best advice I ever got about blogging was just to get the pen to paper (or in this case fingers to keys). I made an effort to have at least one post a week, so I made sure to schedule time to write every Sunday night. I also kept a notepad on my desk for blog ideas throughout the week.

    I loved getting inspiration from reading other blogs. It such a wide genre that following a variety of bloggers can help to think outside the box (or bottle). Check out http://bestbloggingtipsonline.com/7-pieces-of-blogging-advice-that-bloggers-should-ditch-right-now/

    Looking forward to reading about some good wine…I’m back in the land where wine flows from plastic bags inside a box. Not good enough for the wine snob my family has molded me to be!
