So, why the sudden absence in my blog? Well, I'm sorry but I've been feeling uninspired, busy and too tired to blog lately.
First things first, why oh why, do I feel like I have to apologize for being inactive on here?! Is this normal to feel bad about not blogging? Like borderline guilty even? Geesh! What's wrong with me? Do other bloggers out there feel this way when they haven't blogged in awhile? Are we really letting anyone seriously down if we don't blog all the time?
1. Uninspired- Two things here, one, I haven't felt very inspired to write about anything.. And two, while I have a ton of cool things going on in my life right now, for the first time in awhile, I don't have this incredible urge to put it all out there on the internet for the world to read about. I want to keep it private for awhile.. at least for a little bit longer. : )
2. Busy and Tired- Life has gotten busier and blogging is the first to get knocked off my list of things to do. In the past, I've used my nights to blog but lately I'm so tired at the end of the night that the last thing I want to do is sit in front of my computer for another hour and create a post. I can't even tell you the last time I read my book. Before turning off the light at night, I barely have time to take off my glasses! I guess we are all always tired, huh? It's the never-ending quest for more sleep that everyone seems to be searching for. Will we catch it? Probably not...
While I'm on the topic of blogging woes, can I just say how frustrating it can be sometimes when I see most of my fellow bloggers getting these amazing and insightful posts out each and everyday! How do they do that?! Where do they/you find the time?
I guess that I have officially decided that from now on, I'm only going to post when something neat or interesting happens to me. That's totally fair, right?
Can we say 'blogging burnout' or what?!
I know what you mean about struggling to write insightful, awesome blog posts! I can't do that all the time either. Once in awhile I have a good idea, but most of the time I totally don't!
ReplyDeleteUghhh I hate when I got through a blogging slump. It can be super frustrating! I've started carrying a notebook around with me so I can make notes in it when I get an idea. It helps having some reserve ideas for days when you can't find anything else to write about. I've also starting reading a lot of magazines. If I'm really in a rut, I'll do a post about trends I'm currently loving. Hope that helps lady!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. Sometimes I want to blog about everything and anything, and other times, I just don't want to even look at my blog. But, you know what? It's definitely ok to take a break!
ReplyDeleteI totally respect what you are saying here. Blogging is hard work and a huge commitment and if you aren't in to it, it will show. I hope you can find a schedule that suits you.
ReplyDeleteI can personally barely even keep up on Facebook. Give yourself a break...
