Small Craft Business: Monday To-Do List

I've done it! I've blogged every day in October. Last year I was a big loser, foregoing the project altogether, and I'm the one that started it. Terrible! This year I sucked it up and did it again.


And I'm always glad I did. 


To wit: I have figured out how to keep this blog focused and relevant, by declaring each day of the week to have a particular focus. This will help me to build an audience (hopefully), encourage commentary (Hopefully!), and keep a conversation going about small business (HOPEFULLY!). Your comments are appreciated--please let me know what you think of my plan: 


Sunday Funday -- a post just for fun. It will most probably feature a funny photo.


Monday To-Do List -- I will post my to-do list for the week, and encourage others to do the same.


Vendor Tuesday -- where I feature and recommend a craft supply vendor. 


Wordless Wednesday -- Photos of a recent project will be posted.


Time-on-Task Thursday -- Exhortations and other prodding will be provided to encourage readers to get that thing DONE.


Freedom Friday -- Reflecting on freedom and self-employment, and what it all means. 


Saturday How-To -- I will post teaser photos of my latest book project. 




What say you, loyal readers? Is there a different focus you'd prefer on any particular day?
