When I think about how I have neglected my blog, I become wracked with guilt. Well, not always. Most times I am. I used to be such a dedicated blogger, sometimes blogging several times in 1 day.
Many people I know have moved on from their blogs - sometimes to other social networking tools and sometimes offline.
However, I still spend a lot of time online, though most of that time is dedicated to work. And of course, I have my daily blog reads. I just don't dedicate that much time to my own blog.
Reading Ree's post on Ten Important Things She's Learnt about Blogging, I am struck that I hardly do any one of them consistently - be it writing often, being myself or pushing through my writer's block.
A few moments later, I stumbled upon 101 Cookbooks (I love food blogs, though I don't cook all that often) and discovered that Heidi Swanson, the creator of 101 Cookbooks, was the co-founder of ChickClicks an early online community targeted at young women, which among many things encouraged an interest in technology. The fact that I used to visit this site in 2000 (10 whole years ago) blew me away that I've been hanging out online for so long.
I am really going to try to post more frequently. I really will try...
Just take it slowly until you get your groove back...
ReplyDeleteIt can be discouraging when you think no one is reading the post but believe me when I write that there is always someone reading even if they don't leave comments...
Thank you for your comment and encouragement, Kemi.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely try and create time to blog in the mornings as I am fresher and more creative then.
