Where did Hunter go?
A few people have emailed me asking if I have given up blogging. It is nice to know that someone out there noticed.
Well, I got very busy, and got kind of behind on blogging on a regular basis. Once I was behind, I felt like I was getting deeper and deeper behind. Quite honestly, it seemed a bit like a chore, and I was disliking the blogging process. I think the problem was my approach.
It also seems what is the "proper" way to blog (starting new conversations, and conversing/debating with other bloggers) seems to take the most time "per post." I think I prefer to just talk about my experiences.
My other reservation has always been "giving away" strategy, or the fear of insulting someone who will later harm a future client. I dont like to talk about pending cases, but rather just resolved cases.
So, if anyone out there has some tips on how to keep up better, I'd love to hear them. How do you manage the time to blog? Mark, Jamie, Lawrence, Stephen, Glen, Robert, Scott, Stephen, Shawn, Kevin, What say you?? How about my pal Ken Gibson? You seemed to give up on the blogging too..
Do you set aside particular days? Time slots? My wife says I should have a routine and block off time just as I would for a new client.
Looking forward to hearing your suggestions.

I try to blog everyday. I have never thought much about how. Good question.
1. Inspiration. Blog about things you care about. If you can't do DWI every day then don't.
Being libertarian helps me a lot. I can't write practical blawg posts everyday, that would be like CLE.
2. Take a look at your firm structure. If you have no time find the cause. Make it easier to blog and you will.
3. A bad post is better than no post at all. Throw something out there. I've reviewed courthouses. Not groundbreaking stuff, but it was a post.
4. Become the perez hilton of Collin County and expose all the hot courthouse gossip.
Ok, maybe not 4. Hope that helps
Spend more time reading other blogs. Your inspiration will come from what others are saying. When something interests you, start writing about it immediately. Keep draft posts going and polish them up when you have time. Then post them. Regular posting does take discipline so make sure you understand the value of blogging. Blogging is like a billboard for your law practice. People read what you write and see you before they have a need. When their need materializes they think of you and (poof!). . . the phone rings.
