Blog Post Length
It isn't easy to live the "Writer's Life" when each one I write brings MORE questions that I have about what I have not yet found.
I also keep thinking about how I am going to organize the photo with the printed blog post and family group sheet that I want to be "archived" in my family papers. Before this, I really did not have a plan about this but turning 65 this year has made me think more about this.
I worry about being "away" from my other blog (the one about gravestones). I wanted to finish up the Victor story before moving onto another project based adventure. I think that I will have to shorten what I was going to do with the last one and more forward more quickly. The interesting part of the Victor Story is over. Now, I must write something about what I remember. Writing these challenges posts has helped.
When I learned to blog, one thing stood out. Blog posts are supposed to be SHORT. Business and Sports blogs have shown that readers want a simpler format. Less words. More photos.
I have had this discussion with other bloggers. Blog posts can turn into family history books but you should not put everything in a blog.
I am glad you've been with me along this journey. Thanks.

Thanks! Totally agree. Shorter blog posts are better... ;-)
Thank you for saying this! I've learned this fact over the course of my relatively short 'blogging career' and have been trying my best to remember it each time I post a blog. (Sometimes it's not easy!)
I might be physically short but I have a hard time writing short pieces. Sadly, with all the information out on the Web, it is hard for all of us to focus on a lot of it in a 24 hour period.
