As from the first of January I’ll be changing the blog schedule (and the layout) and will only be posting 4 days a week. It’s gunna feel weird, as I’m so use to posting every day, but, it will free up my time to do other things.
So the new schedule looks like this:
Mondays: Plans for the week
Tuesdays: Faber until April
Wednesdays: Nope, sorry, day off. Apart from one post once a month, IWSG!
Thursdays: Fraid not.
Fridays: A random post.
Saturdays: Faber once a month until April and random stuff.
Sundays: I’ll be chilling 
Some of the random posts will be fiction, inspirations, reviews and I’ll even share some pages from my journal. I’ve been working on a timetable (which I may share at some stage). And so far I have filled 12 hours every day with stuff I need to do *gulp*
Awwwww, it’s the end of an era! 
What will I do with myself? lol. Probably start wading through this lot and trying to write a novel *snigger*
I’d just like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to everyone who’s commented, liked, followed and read my blog. 2012 hasn’t been a bad year all told. There have been moments where I wanted to give up (blogging and writing), but I’m glad I stuck with it. I’ve met some fantastic people on this journey, and I’m so looking forward to sharing 2013 with you all 
Don’t they say a change is as good as a holiday?
Got any plans to change your Blog for 2013?
Good luck with the new blog schedule, Vikki! It’s so impressive that you have been blogging every single day. What a change it will be for you to have some extra time available in 2013. Happy New Year!
Thanks Kitty
I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself! Lol
Happy New Year to you too honey xx
Best wishes on the blogging. It will be a nice change to your schedule I’m sure. I’m going to try a few changes. One will be to get myself better on track with my goal to blog twice a week(for my crazy life it’s enough). I also want to play around with my blog setup…not sure what yet….just need a change.
Thanks Sabrina
Ooooo, exciting, can’t wait to see your changes!
Xx
Nope. I probably so delineate some kind of schedule, but I doubt I’ll stick to it. I’ll give it some more thought though.
You have to do what works best for you CC
I seem to have so much going on in my head that I NEED to know exactly what days I’m posting on lol
Xx
Great new line up – enjoy it.
Thanks Mandy
Xx
Hey Vikki. I have a few changes planned myself. Here’s to 2013.
Ooooo, can’t wait to see Sydney!
It’s almost like re-decorating! Lol
Xx
I’ll enjoy reading on the days you do blog. Good luck with the spare time but I guess that will get swallowed up before you know it.
Happy 2013!
Awwww, thanks Mary
You’ve been a great supporter of my blog, thank you! You could always take up blogging yourself?
Happy 2013 to you too honey xx
I did have a little go earlier in the year when my daughter was away and I was house sitting for her dogs so she could see what we were up to. I thought it was quite amuzing but I got lazy when she got back. I only told a few friends I was doing it. I used blogger which I don’t think was a good as good as wordpress. Maybe I will have another go but there are things go on in my life that I don’t think should be on the www. LOL.
It’s a very good way to keep up with people you don’t see much
Ahhhh, yeah, I don’t like Blogger (even though I have one, but I don’t use it). WordPress is much more user friendly especially the iPhone and iPad apps
Well, you don’t have to use your real name you know
You know I’d read it don’t you! Lol
Xx
I haven’t got any changes on my blog that I am planning, I’m going to focus more on getting some editing done and some of my short fiction finished
Good for you Peter!
Good luck!
Xx
Thanks, im going to need it lol x
I’m glad you stuck with it too! Hope the new schedule for 2013 gives you time to be even more productive! I’m going to try to blog twice a week in 2013, and have a bit more of a structure to what I say. Random posts are good, but not if they are all random!
Thanks Zoe
I spent the last year being very focused on what I write about, but, I dunno, perhaps I made a mistake with that. Perhaps I SHOULD have been more random
Good luck honey xx
I’m going to try and actually blog!!
Ha ha ha! Good luck Chris!
What’s your blog addy?
Xx
I love seeing you Yvette pile, mine no longer lots unmanageable : )
I am going to aim to write twice a week next year. I started that a few months ago and then could not finish a post and it is still waiting several weeks later.
That’s not even half of it Kate! It was taken before Christmas too lol
Is there a subscribe by e mail option on your blog honey?
Xx
Your plans for the new year sound good! I’m looking forward to keep reading you in 2013
Awwww, thanks EM
Xx
You’re soooo organised!
Hope 2013 goes according to plan for you – and that any surprises are good ones.
I have to be Patsy….it’s my one tactic to avoid procrastination
Thanks honey!
Xx
Good idea! I have no idea how you have managed to blog every day! I have changes planned for my blog too – namely to actually blog! LOL! I aim to blog at least once a week on some scintillatingly interesting subject.
Ha ha ha neither do I Linda! Probably at the cost of relaxation…I just don’t stop! Something that’s really gotta change
I look forward to reading those scintillating posts
Xx
It will still be the best blog. I think with your workload, until the end of April at least, you have enough to do… I’m Facebooking and tweeting for less time each day. I shall check in once, at the end of each day. I’m doing a job for our darling Jayne, and editing FA at the same time, so Ineed to manage my time better. Lots of love, and Happy New Year, Vikki x
Awwww, thanks Maddie
I really need to chill more, have some relaxation!
Happy New Year to you too honey!
Xx
Yes, darling, you do. Also, the next four months are the most important as far as leaning your craft goes. As I said before, get eveything you can from the Faber course. Make it work for you. It will be invaluable to your writing. Good luck… xxx
Thanks Maddie….lots of hard work ahead of me
Xx
Good luck with the new schedule!! I am going to introduce a twice weekly schedule in the New Year I think and see how it goes.
Thanks Vikki
It’s about finding that balance isn’t it
Good luck honey xx
Your new blog schedule sounds great! To be honest I’ll be delighted to read your postings whenever and however you decide to do it! And good luck with The Novel!!
Happy New Year xxx
Thanks Edith
Awwwww, thank you!
Happy New Year to you too honey!
Xx
Good luck with your new schedule. I admire you for writing nearly every day. I’m having a hard time keeping up with two posts a week. I’m working on a blog redesign that I hope to debut at the end of January. Stay tuned!
Thanks Leah
Oooooo, that sounds interesting! Can’t wait to see it!
Xx
I’m so pleased you made that decision – it will definitely free up some time for you to do all of your projects. Yes it certainly is the end of an era, but I will look forward to your posts 4 days a week. Not sure what I am going to do yet. Good luck
Thanks Sandra, I don’t think I really had a choice, I’m wearing myself out! Lol
Thanks honey, and good luck with yours!
Xx
Good for you! I think four days is plenty. You need to strike that right balance. Have a great 2013! X
Thanks Rebecca
Hopefully, it will make a difference, but I think I’ll probably just end up filling that time with other stuff…no! I NEED to relax
You too honey!
Xx
You’ve never ceased to amaze me with how you manage to mix it up and keep things interesting in your daily posts. Whatever changes you make, don’t ever stop blogging! I would miss your posts terribly.
As for my blogging plans, A Scenic Route will continue the same as always in 2013, about four posts a month about anything that strikes my fancy, but usually writing related!
Happy New Year, Vikki!
Thanks Kirsten
Awwww, bless you! No, I’ll never stop! I’d miss you guys too much
Glad to hear you’re going to continue in the same vein! Excellent
Happy New Year to you too honey, have a good one!
Xx
Love the new schedule (we all need days off). Look forward to learning more from you in 2013.
Thanks Char
Happy New Year honey xx
A really fab year Vikki, you’ve been a shining star. Your output has been incredible, so a slow down won’t make much difference. My plans: I have a couple of threads I plan to keep writing on, to keep the blog ticking over, and will be blogging poetry now and again to develop that further.
Thanks Andy, it’s been fun, but tiring
Glad to hear you’re going to continue blogging!
Happy New Year honey xx
Good luck with your goals and new schedules
Chilling is definitely needed from times to times, so glad you´re taking some time for yourself!
Wishing you all the very best for the new year!
Awwww, thanks Elodie
It’s been a manic year so I think I deserve it!
You too honey!
Xx
I”m going to be writing more. My blogging will stay the same but I hope to have my blog roll finished up to a point. Once I started and never finished. Even my most fav blogger isn’t on it. She definitely deserves a spot. And so do you. lol.
Good for you Clar!
Awwww, thanks honey! You know what, I need to update mine too!
Happy New Year honey xx
This still sounds like an ambitious and impressive schedule. I look forward to whatever you post. Your blogs are always enjoyable. I changed the format of my blog a few months ago. My main goal for blogging in 2013 is to be more consistent in posting. I’m aiming for weekly and that is stretching it. I don’t know how you do it. I also want to make more time for reading and commenting on the blogs I follow. I wish for a successful new year for all of us.
Hi Richard
Awwww, thanks honey, it’s been hard work, but I’ve loved it! I like to keep busy
Those are some good goals you have there, good luck!
Happy New Year!
Xx
I enjoy reading your posts so much! I understand cutting back the schedule. I’ve had to do that, and I was posting just twice a week. It works out thought because you’re right. You get some more writing done.
What will you do with yourself? You’ll write your novel. And we’ll all read it. x
Ha ha ha, thanks Maddie
Xx
Awwwww, thanks Becca
Hope it’s working for you!
Xx
It’s giving me more room to write and read posts.
I guess I’m writing more, but I’m still behind with reading blog posts lol
Xx
