Hello everyone, happy spring! I can't believe winter is over, because I can still feel quite the chill where I live. A few days ago, I was speaking with someone who used to live in Washington DC, and they said that spring starts mid-March there. To me, someone who's always lived in the Boston area, that sounds unimaginable. Spring is an elusive April-May phenomenon to me, and March is a dreary bog. But! Time moves forward, I suppose, and the weather will always change. Change, actually, is the reason I write today. Soon I'm making a big one in terms of organization of this blog, in the hopes that I can better serve my readers. Last month, I spoke a bit about my goals for blog organization, and invited you all to participate in a survey on kinds of content you'd like to read. (If you haven't done that, click here!) Part of that is putting out interesting content. No repeated posts, no filler. The other part is my new blogging schedule. From now on, I promise to be dependable, as I haven't been in the past. My mission with this blog is to be a reliable source of information on the bookish world, including reviews of new releases, book recommendations, and other features. Of course, I can't do any of that if I only post twice a month! Therefore, from now on I will be writing my posts further in advance and scheduling them. In an effort to encourage transparency (why shouldn't the reader see how the blog is run? Maybe that's another post) here's my sample schedule for April 2019. I used to be all-or-nothing in my blogging. I would go hard for a couple of weeks, and then drop off the face of the Earth. In January, I wrote a post per day until the middle of the month, when I pretty much stopped writing. I hope four posts a week is my sweet spot. I don't want to disappear on you guys, but I also want to avoid burnout. This way I get some time to recharge and write drafts before hitting "publish," but I also put out content that you want to read. As you can see, I've mixed reviews and rec posts with some weekly features. And because I don't want to give everything away, some blank days have content you'll have to check back for!
So here's to fresh starts, and happy spring reading!
