My break from blogging is going to be quite an extended one, it appears. For no other reason than I'm just enjoying this break.
Okay, maybe there are a few other reasons I'm better being offline right now...
- I'm focusing on some other writing goals, including trying to grow my freelance career
- A summer with minimal computer time is heaven
- Life is pretty full right now
- I want things to be simple for a while - and pretending I live in an almost technology-free world is helping
- When I do write it's more in notebooks while I'm on the go - and I love that
- To enjoy life for what it is, not for what is blogworthy
- To enjoy writing for what it is, not for what is blogworthy
- I'm in such a state of bliss that my blogging would be all sickly sweet and boring
- I'm sick of the sound of my own voice
- Because, as they say in the classics, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
I hope you're all enjoying a wonderful start to 2012 and I look forward to talking to you soon(ish)!
Oh Megan, I hear you. I've only just started blogging again after a month of being awfully sporadic. But it's lovely to just live life and not feel 'the pressure'. I blog because I want to, not because I've got all this pressure.
ReplyDeleteYou enjoy watching and enjoying your life! xx
I'm so with you. I need to focus on writing a novel. I only blog when I write or I have a burning desire to. Blogging should be fun not pressured. Enjoy!! x
ReplyDeleteUmmm - I didn't read this before I sent the email I just sent you. SO on the same page though I miss you! ;) xxxx
ReplyDeleteI hear you on this.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't planning a blogging break but I currently am hoping to get one soon.
I need it. There is so much to do and my head isn't in the space of wanting to write blog posts right now. It fights me tooth and nail.
I hope you keep enjoying your break!
I love writing on notepads too, Megan.
ReplyDeleteI had a week off blogging and enjoyed giving the creative side of my brain a break. I've now come back and am not posting as regularly. I'm enjoying not having the pressure of posting every day (a goal I set myself last year). I'm actually enjoying writing a lot more. Plus it's given me time to concentrate on the biz and the biz blog.
Enjoy your time offline, Megan. x
I have been writing in journals too, with pencil. I love the feel of it.
ReplyDeleteI agree, blogging should be for pleasure. It's certainly not my day job.
I am wanting to write more of my much neglected manuscript, and that won't happen if I spend all my time blogging.
Enjoy your time Megan.

So hear you Megan! Am back after almost a month away and desperately needed the breathing space from all things blogging. Its been wonderful to take time to reassess my writing goals as well 9which sound similar to yours!) and also lose myself in the simple art of writing in a notebook too (still my preferred method!)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with all xx
