I try to post every day. There've been many times when I haven't felt like it, but I sat down to post anyway and ended up writing what turned out to be some of my best work. (Of course, there are other times when nothing comes. I have no qualms about missing a day here or there.) But do what feels right for you -- that's what matters. :) Chiming in from Richard’s perspective, I think that having a constraint in place — posting each weekday, in your case — often ends up becoming a catalyst for creativity.

Sometimes that helps with inspiration as well. I remember once hearing that Eric Clapton will sometimes set down his guitar for a month and then will pick it back up later and have lots of inspiration.

While balance is important in most cases, there can be no such thing as over-serving. I believe, if the Lord were upon the earth teaching today, He would utilize this venue to communicate with His followers, and He would have the most visited Blog Site upon the earth. Connor, you have served well and will continue to do so. I have been greatly uplifted and been the recipient of much wisdom through your exhaustive research and effort. Others have likewise been edified and uplifted although they may not be aware of the extent to which they have received the blessings of the Lord through his faithful and valiant servant.

John,

Yeah, that’s what I’m hoping to go for… only writing something when I really have the urge, rather than forcing myself to come up with content.

Mom,

I find if I'm writing on some sort of schedule, I feel like I'm forcing myself. Granted, I don't get much readership (at least I don't think I do), but its more for me than others anyway. :) I blog as it comes.

While you're ramping down, I'm ramping up. I generally consider blog writing a good use of time--much better than indiscriminate blog reading--but I see your point. Maybe your writing will turn towards your future book? Interestingly, this and my other recent blog posts mark my concerted effort to blog more consistently.
