I am writing this blog post for a couple of reasons. Those reasons will be listed later on in the post, so please continue reading.
Every week, sometimes every day, I sit and stare at the blog. As I stare at it I often wonder why I opened it to begin with. The answer to this is because I love helping people and I love sharing about authors and their work. None of that has changed, but what has changed is the fun of it.
I want to bring the fun back, but I don't know how to do just that. So, for now and for more reasons than just the lack of fun, the blog appears to me as a job. A job that I enjoy, but don't have the energy for. If I'm honest with myself I don't have the energy for a lot of things, but I am always adding to my list of what I have to do. The blog is always on that list, but it never makes the daily posting cut. How do I change this? I honestly don't know that, so I once again go to research 'how to make blogging less of a job and more fun'. I come up empty because nothing appeals to me, sadly.
Keeping the above in mind, come August my blogging will be slim to none. The reason being that I am on the hunt for a paying job with the help of the Work Force Development Center and I will be starting or rather continuing on my journey to become the nurse I so desperately want to be. So August on will bring even fewer posts from me.
I know I don't blog daily like I should be as it is, but again it comes back down to my energy level. That goes hand-in-hand with my health issues and being extremely busy with other things. What are those other things? I PA for a couple of authors, I recently opened this site called The Book Social, I am filling out numerous job applications, writing my own stories, going to interviews, and much much more. It all adds up and can sometimes be very stressful.
I kind of got off track, but I felt the need to. Anyways, For the rest of this month, June, and July I will be doubling - no tripling my efforts to make this blog what I know it can and should be. Please be patient as I adjust for the few months that I will be doing this and please continue to be patient as I fight the blog with where posts should be and finally be patient while I am on a semi hiatus come August.
I love the blog with all my heart and wish so much for it to be so much, but fighting my health issues and busy life it isn't an easy task for me. I promise I am trying and I feel horrible because a lot of times it doesn't seem like I am trying hard enough.
Thank you for reading,
