Sundays are for sipping coffee and reading the Sunday paper. Sundays are for singing in church and going to brunch with the family.
Sundays are for writing blog posts.
Wait, what did I just write?
Mondays are a big blogging day. New material is a must for a blog’s readers. But instead of writing a new blog post, I curled up on the couch while the frigid February rain pinged on the windows. As my children ran around the living room hitting a red balloon back and forth, I read my book. I did the dishes. I installed a new smoke and carbon monoxide detector. (Yes, I really did!)
On Sunday nights I usually sit on the couch, a blank computer screen on my lap, and The Good Wife on television. Usually, I plan on writing a blog post. My plans go down the drain as I become engrossed in the plot, put the laptop to the side and close it so I can enjoy my show. (Last night was the Grammy’s, which I should have watched and didn’t. Did you?)
For my blog, however, this is not a good routine.
So I had an idea as I was thinking about what to post on Mondays. I need some sort of motivation so that my Monday posts don’t become my Tuesday posts–or even worse, my Friday posts!
Let’s have a Monday blog hop! If you published a blog post today, enter your link below. If you don’t blog, you can still “like” the links down below. To join the blog hop, just click “Get the code here,” then copy and paste the code into your own post. The more blogs that join in, the more fun it will be! (Plus, I need an excuse to use a linky.) I’ll feature the post that receives the most “likes” next Monday. You can link back to my blog, but it’s not necessary.
Do you have as much trouble writing a Monday blog post as I do?
Great idea! We are so totally in! 🙂 Just put the code on our post and entered the link above! Mondays are definitely a top blogging day for us, too!

I always try to blog on Mondays, but since I do most of my blogging at work, I don't get the post up until closer to lunch time. Today is no exception.

Monday mornings get busy, don't they? If you have time, come back and link up your post when it's up!

Mondays are a posting day for me, too. Sometimes, like today, it's just random thoughts about the past weekend. I found you through The Dose of Reality and don't know why it's taken me so long. If I can figure out how to do a blog hop (I'm 2yrs into blogging but tech challenged), I'll join in.
Thanks for stopping by! I'm glad you found me! All you need to do to join is click "click here to enter" and then paste your blog post URL into the right spot. The directions should be there, but if you can't figure it out, that's okay. I love comments, too! 😉

Okay, I think I figured it out! Fun!

This is a great idea! Of course, I have yet to come up with anything. lol Also, when I tried experimenting by writing a test post and inserting the code, it didn't work. 🙁

The first code is the code for Blogger, and in my experience, the linky doesn't show up in "preview mode" in Blogger. You have to actually publish your post for it to show up. Thanks for trying it out!

Sounds like a great idea!
Thanks for adding your link! 🙂

What a great idea! I've started keeping notes in my phone for ideas in case I hit a blogging wall. It really helps.
My recent post Ice Ice Baby
That's a good idea! I used to keep a notebook in my purse, but my daughters kept using it for drawing paper! Oh, well. Thanks for linking up!
