Whew! Ever bite off more than you can chew?

I just realized I haven't posted since May.  Appears I've bit off more than I can chew.  E-book, painting, queries challenge (Victoria still dragging out decision), blogging, etc.  And to be honest, I'm having too much fun being 'retired'.  There's lots to do in Birmingham and many are free (see below for my list)*, and I'm meeting a whole other group of friends.

The book is in final draft and may yet slide from the July 15 date to August pub date.

I have 8 small paintings in various stages of completion.

It is appears that Blogging was the first to go and I didn't even notice.  After posting every day last year on a dare, I've lost my momentum.

Today, I had to stop and address my poor blog.and decide on posts for the next month or so.  All the advice out there says find a niche, but I've decided that I'm not a niche writer.  I go on sprees such as the crazy haiku binge last year and early this.  I'll probably still add poems to my posts, as I met so many great poets out through for my simul-posts on my Wordpress Blog.

It started as an experiment.  Blogger allows me to advertise on its free service.  WordPress does not.  However, I garnered far more followers on WordPress and don't know why.  So, I cannot neglect either. I probably won't post everyday, but try to settle into a schedule of sorts.  Suggestions welcome.

Thanks.
