Not I, said I, as I clacked away on my keyboard. I will not be one of those people who starts a blog, then abandons it. Or posts only once every couple of months. Why do people DO that? Why do they even start blogs if they don't keep them current?
Now I know why people do that. Travel. Work. Family. Life! That's why they - and I - don't always keep up with their blogs. Life happens.
And before you know it, you're staring at your blog, and it's staring back at you. Actually, I feel that it's glaring back at you - or, at least, the date is. The date of the last post, over three months ago. Sigh.
Okay, fellow bloggers, clue me in here. How do you all find the time and motivation to keep up with your blogs? I really do love to write, but I hate the pressure of coming up with fresh, intriguing material three or so times per week.
But I'm back, and I'll do my best to check in far more often from now on. Promise.
Did you hear that life? Now don't stand in my way. Right. I'm just as likely to see ___________ (fill in your absurdity of choice here).

It can be difficult to post on your blog everyday. I actually have had to force myself to do it daily until it became a habit. Don't beat yourself up too much...Just decide what days and try to be consistent. I look forward to your posts! Glad you are back.
ReplyDeleteThanks for responding, Yvette! My new goal is to aim for 2-3 times per week - wish me luck! And you're right - it's all about forming good habits.
ReplyDeleteIf you feel pressured, it won't be fun.
