TheMovie Whore’s last blog post..Hollywood Switch: 2nd Edition

My break down was a bit like your up until recently when I decided I had to start doing things in another more productive way, it is just so easy to drift off in the blogosphere and time flies when having fun reading and commenting.

I am really glad to see all the progress that you are making, landing some really good interviews, way to go!

As for your secret friend, I am sure he wouldn´t want you to feel like you have to pay back anything, paying it forward is a great gift to both the giver and receiver, a lot of power there, so seeing you are now paying it forward must be very rewarding to see!

Thanks for the comment, as always very appreciated!

Stephan Miller’s last blog post..How I Created My Own Blogging Curriculm

Wake up and get coffee.

Check email and see if any of my posts are getting decent comments then check the 2 other sites I write for and see what people have to say and see what some others are writing.

Check out the rest of my morning news stuff and check my favorite blogs and comment accordingly.

Take a look and see if which unfinished post or interview I need to work on and make sure I am in the frame of mind to work on it.

Clean the house and lunch.

Play with stumble for a couple hours and check email and check out the comments added on my favorite blogs. I might do some more writing and editing. I keep up with email through out the day. Part of my corporate life that I can’t seem to shake.

Around 330-4 pm is when I start on dinner.

After dinner I watch a little TV but I am still playing with Stumble and seeing what else is out there. Honestly it is at night when I do the bulk of my writing. It is my best creative time of day. The day is behind me and I can focus on what I am writing an not worry about the other little daily stresses.
This helps me make sure I am putting out the best stuff I can.

Somewhere between midnight and 2 am I finally go to bed after I worked the creativity out of my head. I can’t sleep if I have a post idea running around in my head. It will keep up, like last night, until I get up and write it out.

In all of this I do check stats once a day and thats it. I look for other things that can help my site. However I am lucky in the fact that I am also writing for 2 other sites using the same material. This way no matter where it is found I am getting read and building a broader based following. Now when you take into consideration my blog is only not even 3 weeks old and I have already had 4 celebrity interview and have a fifth locked up, I would say I am way ahead of the curve and I have the luxury of being able to ensure I build my site the right way and build an honest following and readership so that when I start my The Movie Whore only content I have 2 other sites ready to send me traffic and a following ready to see what I am up to.

I am also building a brand at the same time that can turn into something else entirely. Now let me say write now that I do not take credit for all of this. I have had a tremendous amount of help and support along the way and I am always looking for ways to repay these people by getting them more positive exposure from other sources. I am currently trying to get a magazine interv iew for on of the site owners I wrote for and I am giving help to some of the people I have interviewed to help them achieve some of their goals.

The way I look at it is like this. A secret friend helped me get my site and asked for nothing in return. The only way I can go forward and still look in the mirror is to continue to use that a reminder that I need to be a positive force in my niche within a niche to help others succeed in any way I can. I was given a gift I could never really repay in my mind and the way I am trying to do it is pass it along to those that need it and show promise themselves.

Oops I just realized how much I wrote. You get more of these long comments form me than anyone else I read. I guess you just inspire me the way you have since the first time I read this blog of yours.
