Victor Hugo Inpsirational Quote

V is for Victor Hugo

4/26/2016

My theme for the April A to Z blogging challenge is productivity for creative people.

Here's an inspirational quote from author Victor Hugo for today's post.

If you are blogging from A to Z, how is it going? Did you pre-write your posts? Are you enjoying visiting other blogs? In the comments, put a link to a new blog you've discovered through A to Z.

Aww, Hugo, what's wrong with not having a plan. ;)

I like this quote, although something can be said for unplanned days, as well.

Very true! Especially the unplugged ones. :)

I'm happy to pretty much plan each day . . . except those days when 'real life' intercedes. Participating in A Round of Words in 80 Days over the last four years https://aroundofwordsin80days.wordpress.com/ helps me set writing goals and stay accountable. So, Victor Hugo, onward!

Beth -- I think staying accountable is important.

I have a daily to-do list but I'm not always checking or crossing off items from said list. So, yes, sometimes following a plan is just fine and sometimes the day throws you a curveball and all the balls you're juggling fall to the ground.

Great post!

I like your juggling analogy, Marna.

I always prewrite my posts a week in advance. I kept that going this month.

As for a new blog... http://readisthenewblack.blogspot.com/ is one that I keep going back to. Not the only one.

Thanks, Liz! I've been enjoying that blog, too.

How true that quote is. Even for me, who doesn't like a strict schedule, having a general plan does give me a much more satisfying day.

I've done my posts on the fly each day this year and last, but I may go back to prewritten next year depending on what I have going on. April turned quite hectic this year and I keep falling behind with my stories.

I loved your concept this year, Jean.

I'm looking at my day and chaos comes to mind. Hugo nailed it!

a plan is important, but it must be flexible, expect the unexpected as they say on the reality game shows!

great inspiring posts for the challenge! well done!

This A-Z stuff does give a structure to the day. I had all intentions to have it pre-written. Nope, didn't happen. "N" nearly did me in -- I'm doing (creating artwork) for the tartans of the US and Canada. There are 12 for N! Gah!
No time to read blogs yet. I changed office spaces during the month, and now work in a more public area and can't "misbehave" as much. Sigh.

Wow, that's an intensive N!

I've really enjoyed my first A to Z Challenge although I am looking forward to the end and getting a little free time back Not too much though, need to keep that blogging momentum going. I queued a lot of my posts ahead of time but still had to do a lot of tweaking throughout the challenge.

I am new to blogging and really loved the opportunity to connect with other bloggers. One of the blogs I found early in the challenge that I've enjoyed has been... https://mixtapesandcupcakes.wordpress.com/

And, of course your awesome blog!

Great quote. Having a plan is important for productivity and I usually do have one. But, every now and then you need to have a free day. It can be rejuvenating.

Karen -- this is a great challenge to join if you're new to blogging! It's a wonderful way to connect. I'm looking forward to the post-challenge free time, too. :)

Yvonne, I'll never be a tenth as organized as you are, but I do try to plan my time as best I can. If I had a more predictable day job, I would find that a lot easier! I prewrote about half of my A to Z posts but I'm really scrambling at the end. Can't wait until Sunday! One interesting and enjoyable blog I came across during this Challenge: http://www.tamaranarayan.com.

A few more days left! X is my favorite because people get creative. :)

Hurray for the merits of good planning, but sometimes I just fly with the wind. It too can be rewarding :)

Flying like the wind is certainly appropriate for someone blogging about women in aviation. :)
