New gym shoes are not the same. They may be the brand, style and size as the old ones,but they aren't. The old ones fit just right, but were unwearable with their worn down soles, crumbled insides and ugly scuffs.
The new shoes feel higher up, give better support and look a lot prettier. They are much better than the old gym shoes. Still, at the beginning they make my legs hurt. That's because when I walk in them I use different muscles than before. My legs need to adjust, which will take time.
Right now I'm exploring a new way to promote. It's like an old one I've used, but better. Before, I blogged every Wednesday since that's my day off work. Now, I blog every day. It's not easy. Sometimes my eyes smart because I'm tired. Sometimes I don't answer all my e-mail or I miss watching a TV show.
Still, I believe the sacrifice is worth it. By blogging daily, I've found my mind is more receptive to new ideas to write about. I'm gaining a larger audience and getting more Google hits. I'm also establishing a discipline for myself. As I continue on, blogging gets easier.
Yes, it takes valuable time away from writing my novel, but as I blog, my writing abilities improve. The potential audience for my novel grows. I'm having fun thinking up new things to write about. My writing muscles are getting stronger. They don't hurt as much as when I started. It's well worth the effort.

What a great idea! I haven't been blogging regularly, but should get into that habit...even if it's like breaking in any new habit and takes a bit of effort.
Thanks, Morgan...another great promo idea.
Now I just have to get people visiting my blog.
