Another Post About Not Posting

I often do posts about not posting here. It’s weird to me to realize that bloggers often feel like they own people an explanation for not posting. I suspect many of them do it simply to have a post - likely because they have not inspiration for what to blog.

In my case, it is often a mix of no inspiration and lack of time. Often, it is either one of those over the other. But lately, it has been more an issue of time. I’ve been spending a lot of time posting over at Baseball in Fort Wayne. With Spring Training in full swing, there’s a lot for me to post about as Major Leaguers ready themselves to return to the fields and dugouts, Minor Leaguers continue their development in their quests to earn everyday spots on rosters, veterans prove they still have it and the surprise stories of the year begin to develop.

I don’t know how anyone can’t love this game!

But anywho, it appears my work over there is paying off. As some of you might now, my posts on that site are syndicated on my AmazonConnect page. That’s something available to published authors, and I suspect I will syndicate from a different blog once I am able to publish more than one title. But right now, since Baseball in Fort Wayne is my only published book, it makes sense to syndicate from the marketing site I created for it.

But now, Baseball in Fort Wayne is starting to catch on in other parts of the country. Yesterday, I was humbled to find that a post about Torii Hunter was picked up by the Chicago Sun Times. Another post of mine, this one about Wade LeBlanc, was picked up by the Palm Beach Post.

I had had similar success when I had my other baseball blog. USA Today was a frequent user of my content, but when I shut it down, I lost that bit of personal satisfaction. I figured it would be tough for Baseball in Fort Wayne content to be picked up due in large part to its regional focus. But with some hard work, it’s working.
