The world of blogging is all about consistency. Everyone know this, but in the long run it is easier said than done. What usually starts with a bang usually ends with a pop …going something like this, “I’m going to write one post a day”.  As time marches on there is usually an amendment to that declaration, “I’m going to write two posts a week”. Later, thisis also modified, “What’s the rush …one post, one month. Slow and steady”. Sadly that is not usually the end of it. Most bloggers find life just keeps getting in the way and soon the, “one a month” turns into one a year …and that does not cut it.

So how can you keep writing when life gets in the way? Accountability and competition are two strong motivators to blogging:

1. After deciding what is a realistic goal, write it down and put it where you can see it everyday.
2. Pre-schedule your times and days you plan to write. Put them on your calendar.
3. Say it out loud telling someone you see on a daily bases.
4. Turn it into a friendly competition. Find a blogging buddy with similar goals. Make sure to subscribe to their blogs RSS feed. This way you can keep tabs on each other. This will compel you to keep up the writing, knowing someone is reading and watching your feed as you try to match each other posts for post.

Blogging takes time and perseverance requiring consistency over a long period. Accountability and competition are two strong motivators, so use them to compel you to write when life gets in the way.
