Gratuitous Picture of a Kitten
So, I haven’t been around much lately. You might have noticed, though I’m fairly certain you have better things to do than lament my negligent blogging. I wrote a bit about my struggle to get back into the swing of writing and revising lately. It’s still moving a bit sluggish in that department. Typically, writing blog posts is my favorite form of procrastination, so in the last few weeks I’ve decided to prioritize writing my WiP over writing new posts.
A couple things happened during that quasi-break. I was able to get a more stable writing routine down and I felt less anxiety. I also realized that I’d rather blog less often, with more inspired, funny, relevant, and worthwhile posts, than try to force three mediocre posts a week. We’ve all read blog posts that were thrown together, haphazard, just trying to comply with the “post regularly or else” code to blogging. They’re not that fun to write, and they’re less fun to read.
So that’ll be my approach from here out, though I’ll try very hard to be sure there’s at least one new post per week. Wouldn’t want to disappoint my Grandma!
There will be some fun things coming up in the near term though, including a big giveaway! So I hope you’ll stick around.

I think we’ve all been working to find our blogging vs writing groove lately. I actually just posted about the same thing earlier this week. Glad you’ve found your happy medium. :)
I’m all for gratuitous pics of kittens :)
I’m looking forward to your inspired posts :) That’s how I tend to post too.
I’m trying to do that too…only blog when I have something to say vs blogging just to get a post up.
I LOVE the new look. That’s such a cute header! And I’ve been doing the whole blog-when-I-have-something-to-say thing, too. I love blogging, but I’ve had to prioritize writing, too. Glad you’re back into writing and revising. :)
It seems like a lot of bloggers are cutting back lately. It’s hard to keep up with blogging while writing/working/etc. I currently only blog 1-2 times a week and it’s working for me. Good luck with everything!
Hi Grandma Kay!
