I had a big post written for today. I wrote it in a fit of anger and frustration late last night, as I scrambled to come up with an idea for a post. (For the record, it was a rant on how much I hate the headline “Bigger Bruni Sunbathes in Bikini” being featured on Huffington Post. The woman is pregnant, but doesn’t want to let the media have first crack at her uterus. I can understand that.
But in the light of day, the post stunk. Totally not worthy of hitting publish. And in light of the advice I just finished giving in my webinar (10 Tips for Killer Blog Posts), I just couldn’t pull the trigger.
So, today’s post is a tribute to some other work that is definitely deserving of your attention:
- Haven’t They Learned? via Sweet Tooth Sweet Life
- 4-Hour Body Week 4 via Peas in a Blog
- A Pregnancy Exception? via The Wannabe Athlete
- 6 Interactive Email Marketing Ideas via Email Critic
And of course, if you want to meet me and Lucas, be sure to enter our giveaways for tickets to Taste of the Nation!
And I’ll be back later with a post that doesn’t suck.
About Katy
Definitely done the same thing before. I try to tune into how I’m feeling while writing a post and if I’m excited or proud about publishing, then it’s simple. If I spend hours editing and am still not satisfied, then I trash. But it’s not easy – especially after spending a good chunk of my time writing. I’ll leave it unpublished for a while and read it again to be sure, but usually my gut feeling wins. Quality over quantity, right?
[Then I look back at my older posts and gasp at what I willing to publish this time last year. Yikes!]
Thanks for the shout out Katy!
