When you fall into a blogging funk...

Started by Arizona Mamma , author of Our Daze in the Desert 7/30/2010 12:06:14 PM

...what do you do?  It sorta feels like I have given up on blogging.  I make half-hearted attempts lately at getting a post up, but it doesn't feel quite right.  So, I have been absent a lot lately, but miss the banter and comaraderie I find there.

What do you do when you fall into this mode?

I don't know if I've been blogging long enough to have hit burn out.  How long have you been blogging?

Today, I posted the most sad sack post about being bored.  Probably should have skipped that one altogether! If someone is bored enough to read my blog, the last thing they need is talk of more boredom!

I've surely missed you.  How about just throw up a photo or two just to let us know that you're still out there. 

Maybe it's time to change directions, blog about stuff you normally wouldn't.  Or focus your blog on what you're learning about photography.  Maybe that would ignite something. 

Either way, you're missed! And I'd love to hear more out of your part of the world!

I am totally there.  I can't even get a post up.  I have just been hopping around blogfrog the past two to three days but still I  haven't posted in over a week and although I feel bad I just don't even want to do anything about it..... Sad I know!

I have recently fallen into a funk. Mostly crafting, but since my blog is a craft blog it suffers too. I have a lot of big ideas just not a whole lot of motivation to actually follow through.

Hanging it all up is pretty appealing.  I think the funny thing is this...I mostly have.  I hardly post anymore.  And I rarely read many blogs.  I still read some here and there, but I have lost the feeling that I "need to keep up."  I just don't.  It's a lot more relaxing that way.

So, I suppose I'm in an intentional funk.

Oh have I been there!  And it's happening more and more lately.  What I decided to do a while ago is to remove the pressure from myself.  I cut myself some slack.  If I don't feel like writing, then I don't.  And I don't beat myself up and self-talk myself into enough guilt to call a therapist about it.  If I am insistent to post something, then I post things that are light and make me happy, like a piece of clipart that makes me happy.  Or a song stuck in my head.  I want my blogging to once again be a joy and a way of venting to me, not a burden or a chore.

Veronica,

So true!  Can't let it affect us so much that we go a bit nuts over it.
