Commitment ...

I'm debating on whether to become a Crusader.

Oh, I'm several centuries too late, you say? And of the wrong religious persuasion? Different Crusade. This one found here: Writers' Platform-Building Crusade 

I'd like to be connected to others writing about their writing. Musing about their Muses. Facing their Furies.

But - I'm a commitment-phobe. I'm afraid of letting down the rest of the pack, if I don't blog consistently. Would that keep me going? Would it keep me writing more consistently, as well, or would I blog instead of write?

I have 30 minutes to decide. Be right back.

~~~ elevator music ~~~

And ... I'm in! Sent off the form. It's official, I guess, or will be when I get accepted.

  3. Welcome to the crusade, I'm glad you decided to join. Don't feel like you need to blog at the expense of your writing though. Writing comes first ;)

  4. Great that you decided to join up with the crusade. Welcome! Don't think of it as a committment, but as some fun. You'll get to know some cool people, and they'll enjoy getting to know you. There's over 200 crusaders so no-one will be able to comment on everyone's posts - just do what you can and enjoy it.

    Looking forward to getting to know you.

  11. Hi fellow crusader. It is a big commitment. It's been two weeks almost and I'm still working my way through the list, following most sites. It also gave me pause, at first, when I saw all the great blogs out there. But what the heck. I'm over it.

  21. Glad you decided to join us! It is a big time commitment but a lot of fun as well. And don't worry about disappointing people. We all go at our own pace-it took me forever to get all caught up with the Crusade. As a sidenote, I read your post on outlining and thought you might enjoy my friends post on the subject at http://theinkphantom.blogspot.com/2010/09/outlines-picture-edition.html. She has pictures =)

  24. Hi Juniper - I was wondering if members of the 16B Crusader group wanted to do some group 'activities.' =) Shoot me a quick email at sgardn@gmail.com if you are interested and I'll send more info. Thanks!!

  25. Hi Juniper! Glad you are on board! I blog when I can and I still haven't made it around to everyone's sites, but I just thought it was too awesome of an opportunity to pass up!

    New follower and fellow crusader! Nice to meet you!
