Thanks, GaudeteTheology, for the comment!

My definition of “In the zone” for blogging is when I don’t find it to be a struggle to sit down and write something new. That doesn’t mean I didn’t struggle mightily on a couple of specific posts.

But what I did find was that I was able to set aside a couple of ‘blocking’ posts, pick up something else, and get back to writing fairly easily. I’ve never actually tried this before: if I’m stuck on a topic, I stay stuck until I’m done. But the steady flow of ideas from the other event participants made shifting to another topic a no-brainer.

Another thing from the group that helped me was the planning spreadsheet that Lilithesque shared, mostly the ‘month plan’ tab. I don’t think I’d use this level of organization ‘day to day’, but for this event I found it was helpful to keep track of my posts especially with two blogs to keep active.
