I'm the worst blogger in the world!

In an age where food and drink bloggers are actually getting book and movie deals here I am just so infrequently blogging on my nice Wine Me Dine Me blog--it's getting to be irresponsible. I'd like a book deal too!

Finding the time to blog is tough for me. I have columns to write, restaurants to review, a child to raise and feed and well, that new boyfriend who is ever surprising me with his culinary knowledge. (I never had Chex Mix until I met YOU, Eric...sigh..eyelash batting. Crunch, crunch.) Although I had been thinking that his obsession with Chex Mix might be a red flag but now I'm past the two month mark--that's a big milestone for me.

At any rate, at the moment I'm planning a trip to Vegas so if anyone can tell me what restaurants they've been to that they loved there post me an entry or two.

And don't forget--it's Winter Wine Festival at the Wentworth and Attrezzi until Feb. 16th. Tomorrow Susan and I will be broadcasting our WSCA-FM Portsmouth Community Radio show from the event at 6 pm! Or just come down to see us!

Honestly, Rachel I think the key is not to worry about what you right. Maybe your too caught up in it being perfect that you forget it's just a blog. If you have time to answer an email you have time to write an entry. Unless of course you are writing one that requires a lot of research. My regular old entries take 20-40 minutes to write. If its a long important one I'm looking at maybe an hour...with some added research time.

Remember this isn't a column. Its JUST a blog. Don't worry about proofing it 30 times, just look it over two or three times you can always go back and edit later if you come across an error. I do that ALL the time.

I think you're a great writer. Lighten up a little and you'll be a fantastic blogger. Think of it as a way to market your show and you column!!

PS
Fight the urge to write apologies like this UNLESS you have two other entries written waiting to post. Otherwise people are going to see it and go...Oh it's not a real entry its just another excuse.

:) Just my two cents.

LOOK...Oh GOD...I wrote RIGHT instead of WRITE. please fix that if you have a second.

Problem with comments is you can't fix them unless its your own blog.

too funny
