@mitneb - I love how you are writing on a set theme every day. What a great idea for structuring your articles, and keeping yourself motivated. Have you written an article about that technique? It would make a great subject. Please give me a link if/when you do.

Thank you @mitneb for asking about my daily posts! When I joined Steemit, I wanted to make sure I stayed motivated to write every day, so I came up with a daily theme. I used to blog with some other moms, years ago and we had a daily post about different topics, so I guess that is where it came from!

Write about your interests!

I love having a plan for my writing because that means I do not have to come up with something off the top of my head or go out looking for something to post about. I know when I get up on Mondays that I will be posting about something I make, such as a quilt. I have an ongoing list in a Word document on my computer with ideas of posts in case I come to a day and cannot think of an idea. Most of the time, I have something to say about each topic. That is why I chose each topic, because they are my interests.

When I was trying to think of topics for each day, I sat down and wrote out themes that I am interested in. For example: homeschool, Panama, sewing, quilting, recipes, deals. Then I tried to see if I could put any categories together (like sewing and quilting). I then tried to come up with a word that started with the same letter as a day of the week – some rejects were Workout Wednesday, Works for Me Wednesday, Mad Monday, Family Friday. I just played around with it until I came up with something that I thought would work…and it has worked out well as I have only missed three days of blogging since I started.

If something does not work, change it!

After creating each daily theme, I have been able to see what works and what does not. I thought that sharing some Spanish lessons would be good, since I am a former Spanish teacher. However, I am finding that “Tuesday Tarea” is hard for me and not getting much love. I will probably be changing to a different theme in the future.

Some days it is hard to figure out what I want to write about in that topic. If that is the case and I can think of something else to post about, I will just change over. For example, last week, I was unable to come up with a “Tuesday Tarea” topic, but I knew that a “Tree Tuesday” category was out there, so I switched over.

Start small!

People like it when they know what to expect from you. If you cannot think of something you want to write about daily every week, then start with writing about it every Monday, for example. Then your followers will know that every Monday, they can come to your blog and learn about that interest. I enjoy visiting @crosheille on her blog every Monday for her Needlework Monday posts.

Join in on the daily themes!

If you are interested in joining any of my daily themes, feel free! You are welcome to do like I do and use the name as the tag for the post. Maybe you have other interests and it gives you an idea of how to take the titles I have made and make them your own. That is what is so great about Steemit – you can do what works for you!

I appreciate you stopping by and hope this answers your question about my daily theme!
