What if I take a step back?

I love letting my fingers fly across the keyboard and publish blog posts online in the same way that I love putting pen to paper and writing down my thoughts. Lately though, updating my blog has become feeling more like a chore than something I dedicate time and effort for because I love doing it.

It's not that I don't have anything to blog about. Lord knows I have more than enough backlogs to last me twice the length of my lifetime, but I don't feel like posting them because most of them are product reviews and event recaps, and I feel it would be unfair to them if I produce halfhearted posts just for the sake of posting something. It's also not as if I don't have more "personal" things to write. A friend gave me three(!!!) writing challenges and I really want to do them, but they need to be contemplated on more thoroughly and so I would need to commit more time to be able to accomplish them.

To be honest, I fear that as much as I fight it, the claim my anonymous commenter made last year holds more truth to it now.

I just want to go back to that time when blogging was more fun, when there was no pressure to belong in any niche, and it was a passionate and supportive community where everyone is welcomed and accepted into the fold.

I guess I should get my writing journal out of my bottom drawer and continue that short story/ novella/ novel I have been putting off.

I'm taking a break. Guest posts are welcome. ♥
